Madison's 6 month check up

She did soooo well. She smiled, cooed and giggled at the nurses and doctor. She showed off and sat up for a little bit by herself and then barely whimpered when she got her shot...even smiled at the nurse just seconds afterwards. She's 16 lbs 9.5 oz and 28 in. I'm glad we got her Radian80 b/c she will out grow her infant carseat in an inch. lol

Chunky Monkey

I took my chunky monkey...I mean Maddy...to get her 5 months shots (yea I know, she's 5 1/2 months). She did really well, barely cried. She's 16 lbs 6.5 oz!!! ...yep, definitely mama's chunky monkey. lol

Maddy starts solids!

Maddy has been showing alot of signs that she's ready for solids so we did. We started with banana and she seems to love it! She very eagerly opens her mouth when the spoon comes near her. Last night she ate about 2 tsp. She probably would have ate more but I don't want her filling up on solids...she did nurse right before too.

And I just had to add another picture of my chunky monkey

Maddy's 2 month check up

Maddy is 2 months old now...I can't believe it. I really like this age though. She loves to smile and coo at me. Just the other day she found her hands. If she could just keep her hand still she'd be a thumb sucker. She had her 2 month check up today. She's 11 lbs 6 oz and 24 in long...that's only about 6-7 lbs lighter and 4.5 in smaller than Sean!! I swear, once she learns to walk people are going to think I have twins. We are doing Dr Sears' vaccine schedule so she got the DTaP and Rotavirus vaccine today...only 1 shot b/c Rotavirus is an oral one. She didn't even cry!!

Sean's test results are in!

The last of Sean's test results came in today. Everything came out normal! It's a huge relief!! We're going back to the doctor in about a month for another weight check and the doctor wants us to go to a dietitian to make sure Sean's getting enough calories. I wasn't told to, but I'm going to go ahead and start keeping a log of what Sean eats and drinks...and how much he nurses.

I also wanted to share a few cute Sean moments. Last night he pointed at me and said "my mama" and then just a little while ago he pointed at Maddy and said "that my baby". *swoon*

Sean's 18 month check up

Sean had his 18 month check up this afternoon. He is now 17 lbs 13.5 oz. That's only about a pound since his 15 month check up...not as much as the doctor would like to see. He also only grew half an inch...he's now at 29.5 inches. I have to take him to the local children's hospital to have lab work done..will go either tomorrow or Friday. They want to check his thyroid, kidneys, pituitary gland, hormone levels and if he has a wheat allergy. All could effect his growth. The poor guy also has Croup.

The main reason for the tests is b/c in 3 months he's gained less that a pound and half an inch...he's not even following the growth curve (much less on it!) anymore
