Maddie officially weighs 15 pounds and 10 ounces, with a head circumference of 41.5 centimeters, putting her in the 80th percentile for both. She measured at 26" tall, putting her in the 97th percentile for height! We have a long, well proportioned baby!
After she was measured, we went to put her in a new diaper, and another first happened! Maddie peed on Joseph as he was setting her down on the table! Most of it got on the table, but some got on Joseph. We used the new diaper to sop up the mess. Joseph forgot about the incident until I reminded him later that night. He wore the pee shirt all day long.
The doctor said she looks great and was impressed with her baby rolls all on Mama's milk. When she propped Maddie up to sit by her own, she was very impressed Maddie could sit a few seconds before tipping over. She said she expects this at 6 months old (sitting on her own for 1-2 seconds), so it seems our little girl is 2 months ahead of schedule!
Maddie also received her third round of immunizations. Luckily it was just 2 shots and 1 oral vaccine, as last time she had 4 total shots. Dad held her legs and arms while the nurse administered the shots. Poor thing cried as she got both shots, and calmed down a little bit after the oral shot. She took them like a champ! She had stopped crying and seemed very calm (or zoned out) after Joseph held and patted her. She was fine on the drive home and just about fell asleep as we pulled into the garage (she was about 45 minutes overdue for her nap). I nursed her as soon as we got home and she fell asleep while nursing, which has not happened in the longest time. I did wake her up to give her a dose of baby Tylenol, and she fell asleep again as soon as she was done swallowing.
