Our Growing girl part 2

Time really flies .....

Madison is fast approaching 5 months and she has grown by leaps and bounds

The last appointment at the paediatrician on the 21st of July she weighed a healthy 8.1 Kg and measured 64cm. That put her at the 90th centile for weight and height. Madison performed well for the PD and didn't pee/poo or scream while being examined! The visit terminated with her routine vaccination ( 5 in 1 ) this time. We chose not to administer rotateq or Prevanar at this stage. Primarily because I did not see the point in subjecting her to multiple antigens all at once at this point of time.

After the vaccination she developed a mild temperature, but was surprisingly good that night. I was expecting a sleepless night filled with crying fits but that did not happen. Hmm... paranoia...

Madison can now roll over confidently ..she acheived that in early July... ?? around the 17th?? Now she rolls over everytime we put her on her back to change her diaper! She can bear weight while supported and sits well with support too... without it she kinda slouches forward!

Grandpa is ever doting... spending almost every afternoon with her... we go to the supermarket once a week and she sits in the supermarket trolley... he takes her for long walks around the Novena area and buys her lots of "STUFF" .. a term he has coined for things he buys without hesitation for her.

Chris is busy as usual at work at SGH... trying his very best to get an accredited training job... But he spends as much time after work as possible with her and tries to bathe her in the evenings.

Today we were rushing to make it to the Joo Chiat clinic by 0930h.. and we DID it.. only to have the patient cancel on us! ARGH... but our dear Madison was really great, she even tolerated a cool shower in the clinic because the hot water there didn't seem to work!

I noticed a slight looseness to her stools today, which occurred twice... am watching it closely to see if she develops GE.. although that would be strange in a fully breastfed baby who doesn't even get bottles!
