We got to go to the doctor today. I say "got to" because we were excited to see how Madi measured up against the norm after a year. Our nurse and the doctor couldn't believe how big Madi was, "never tell she was a preemie!" I love to hear those words after so many months of having to explain to people why Madi wasn't doing what they thought someone her age should. Not anymore, Madi hit every developmental check the doc had. Sleeping, self-feeding, crawling, cruising, waving, first words, sippy cup...all checkmarks. We need to work on being bottle-free by 15 months. We can switch formula for whole milk. Madi could slow down on motor skill advancements as her language skills develop so we're not to worry. Here are the stats:
Weight: 20lbs. 33%
Height: 29" 48%
Head: 18.4" 90%
Still has a big noggin!
After all the fun and chit-chat Madi had to get her vaccinations. Today was hep A, MMR and chicken pox. We got a little opinion from the doc on the last two. We are to thank all our friends that don't vaccinate as mumps and pox are becoming mainstream again. Northern Indiana and northwestern Indiana have continually had outbreaks of both. Yikes. I haven't researched the why-not-to in order to form an opinion, just sharing our doctor's.
We're loaded up and headed to Marshall for Madi's birthday party tomorrow. Looking forward to celebrating an answer to prayer and attempting to repay friends and family for their generosity last year.
Stay tuned for birthday pics!
