She is still at the top of the charts for growth. She is now on the "toddler" growth chart, and since she is now 2 years old, they predicted her adult height at between . . . 5'8" - 5'9" tall!!
She is still on track or exceeding her milestones. I explained to her yesterday we were going to the doctor for a check up (she kept saying "check out") and went through all the body parts the doctor was going to go over, so Maddie was very prepared and patient as the doctor checked her eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc.
Official Stats:
Weight: 29.25 pounds - 85th percentile (up 3.0 pounds from 6 months ago at 26.25 lbs)
Height: 36.5 inches - 97th percentile (she has brown about 3 inches in 6 months!! She measured 33.25" at her 18 month appointment)
Head circumference: 48.0 centimeters - 70th percentile (up 0.5 cm from 6 months ago)
Maddie also needed to get 2 shots and 1 finger prick to check her blood for lead levels. We calmly explained to her she was going to get a finger poke and that it would hurt, but she would get a bandage (she has loved bandages since helping Joseph with one a few days ago when he cut his finger - to the point where she will "hurt" her finger to get a bandage). We also told her she would get a shot in each leg and that it would hurt for a little bit, but then she would get TWO bandages, AND a special treat afterwards. Knowing she would say lollipop, we asked what kind of treat she would want, and of course she said lollipop.
She took the finger prick and the 2 shots like.a.champ!! She did not budge or cringe or cry!!! We are amazed at how well she did! After getting the last shot she immediately said "lollipop!"
We're so proud of our big growing girl!
