Our baby girl is growing up so fast! She shares her half birthday today with her daddy who is 28 years old.
At our well baby doctor's appointment, she was 26 1/2 inches tall (75th%), 15 lbs, 9 oz (50th%), and head circumference of 16 1/4 inches (25th%). Because she has a small head, it makes her look younger.
Her thrush is completely gone after going on a second oral medication. Now that she is older, she should not have any reoccurring cases because her immune system is stronger and can handle any yeast that she encounters.
She's healthy and strong and everything looks great. Her immunization shots made her cry, but only for a minute. Not much can take her smile away these days.
Overall, it was a great doctor's visit. Ella watched everything that Dr. Macedo was doing. He told her about the doctor tools he was using on the baby. Then, he was on the floor helping Ella learn a new puzzle that I brought along. Very cool. And when we left Ella actually said for the first time, "Ella like Dr. Macedo." She's always been so scared of doctors, so this is a huge leap for her.
Maddy is learning some new things like...
-rolling around the floor and across the room
-pushing her body completely off the floor
-sitting in a tripod position with support from her hands
-occasionally balancing herself in a sitting position
-chewing on everything, from Gray's nose to Ella's furniture
-loving food like my homemade fruit and vegetable purees
-drinking water from a sippy cup and an open cup
Ok, I take that back about Maddy being a happy baby. She's screaming her head off just now and I can't seem to comfort her. She's overly tired and no doubt feeling miserable from her shots today.
