24 Month Well Visit

Today was Maddy's 24m well visit appointment. She weighs 32lbs 6oz and is 36 3/4 inches long. She's in the 98th percentile for both height and weight. Her pedi was pleased with all the words she knows in English, Spanish, and signing. He said he was very pleased to see her, and has missed her. For those who do not know, she was a frequent patient during her first year of life because she was always sick from her Asthma. He gave us the green light in beginning to add dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, pudding, and ice cream this week, as he believes she outgrowing her milk allergy. We have to stay away from cow's milk until she sees the allergist next week. We also have to wait on nuts and fish.

Maddy is growing and changing fast. She loves to sing, dance, read, color, "cook food", feed the dog, make animal noises, and clean. Her favorite song is "The Wheels On the Bus", and loves the hand motions. Her favorite movie is the original "Aladdin", and her favorite doll is Princess Jasmine. She takes her everywhere. She has begun using the big girl potty, and loves to flush and wash her hands. She loves the water, and she believes she's a fish. She did get her first sunburn yesterday (OUCH!), but doesn't seem like it bothers her. Even with SPF 45 sunblock, she is really red. Looks like she's inherited her daddy's sour cream colored skin and height. She can name her family members by looking at their pictures. She still isn't a fan of nursery at church, nor of being left without Mom or Dad. She's a true princess, and we love her!
