Maddie had her 18 week check-up and everything went great! She has grown 2" and is now 24.5" tall! That put her in the 50th percentile for height which is awesome! She gained a little over a pound and is now 12 lbs, 7.8 oz - so just about 12.5 lbs which is the 25th percentile. Her head circumference is still in the 50th percentile too so that little brain of hers is growing right on track! Our munchkin is getting so big!
I asked about some dry spots she has near her elbows and it looks like she has baby eczema. The doctor just said to apply vaseline to it and it should be ok. It doesn't bother Maddie at all, so that's good!
Her new trick this week is lifting her legs up high so she can see her toes and then grabbing her toes and pulling them all the way up to her mouth! It is crazy to see how flexible she is! If this keeps up, she may follow in Auntie Dawn's footsteps and be a great gymnast!
Everything else is going pretty good. She is still fighting off the last bits of her cold and is sneezing and coughing here and there. Even though she isn't bothered by the cold too much, she still isn't sleeping well at night and is waking up often. So we have to be better about letting her cry it out for a little bit before going in to soothe her. Heaven help me with that one - I am awful at doing this! I just hate hearing her cry! I know it's important though for her to learn how to soothe herself to sleep and not rely on us to soothe her. So we'll see how that goes!
We love you all!
Nile, David & Maddie
