Wellness Check...


HELLO! I had a fabulous doctor's appointment today. I got to see my favorite doctor from when I was born and he answered all Mommy's embarrassing questions. He also played with me! He was willing to just hold me while he talked to Mommy and when I pitched a fit for being put on my tummy, he picked me up and I laughed at him ;-) He told Mommy that I really know how to work them all over... darn, my secret is out. He also told Mommy that now is the time when I should figure out a schedule and that it may be a little hard, but they will have to enforce it if they want it, but that I am ahead of where I should be and "doing very well!"
Here are my stats:
Weight: 13 lbs 7 ounces (50th%)
Height: 25 inches (75th%)
The shots went really well today too. Mommy made Daddy go with... 3 sticks, a cuddle from Daddy and I was doing good. I took a nap right away and then played all afternoon. Ms. Maureen (my babysitter) entertained me and told Mommy I was a very good girl.
I am going to go see a physical therapist soon. I still have a bit of a tendency to focus to the left side. Although the doctor was confident Mommy is doing everything she should, Mommy asked to see the PT so that we could get any additional pointers they feel are beneficial. Rumor is... Mommy and Daddy are going to go shopping for an exersaucer so I have a new place to play during the day (to keep me off my head until I learn to sit up).
That's all today! Let's see what the rest of the week brings...
xoxo, Mads

she's sooo cute!!! :) i wanted to let you know that curt and i bought ava the baby einstein jumper which is so great b/c she can use her legs and the seat base rotates around 360 degrees so she can use all kinds of goodies in each direction. my sister bought an exersaucer and it's great but they don't get to bop around as much. the only thing, the jumper is HUGE and kinda heavy but at least you know she's safe in there. happy shopping!!!

Wow Auntie was a pound off! Guess I am not a very good guess when I can't actually cuddle you! Glad to hear your appointment went well.

Can't wait to hear how much fun you have with the physical therapist, I am sure you will love the stretches!! ;-)

Hugs and Kisses!

P.S. Tell mommy her questions aren't silly, she just loves you! Also tell daddy I was thinking about him today too!

me again!!! we did buy it here so she would have something to use at my parents. we looked at ALL the jumpers in the actual store and this one was the best, by far. the nicest part is that you can change all the toys that hang from the bars so you keep it interesting. the seat also adjusts as she grows and gets taller so she can continue to jump for months to come. it's a great investment! :)

Maddy - you're getting so big and so alert. We can't wait to see you again, hopefully we'll get to do tons of playing. Lots of love and hugs from us ---
