2 months old

Madi had her 2 month appt. this morning.  She is growing like a weed!  She is 11 lb. 1 oz. and 22 1/4 in. long.  She is in the 95% for her weight and 80% for height on the Ds chart.  Did you know that there are separate growth charts for children with Ds???  I never knew that until all of this.  Most of you probably don't know that the average height for girls is 4'11 and for boys is 5'4.  That's pretty short.  It will be interesting to see how tall Madi is going to be.  If she is anything like her sister, she will be on the taller side of things.

Madi's PT session on Monday went good!  I was very encouraged again after this session.  She is very strong and moving right along with things that typical kids do.  Her head control is getting better and better!  The PT has us starting to do some supported sitting exercises.  It has been crazy.....the last couple of days Madi will use her feet to push herself forward when she is on her belly!  What lack of muscle tone?!?!  :)

I absolutely LOVE this picture!  Look how long their eyelashes are!

It is amazing how observant Taylor is.  We always are working with Madi to keep her hands in the midline position, otherwise they just flop to the sides.  The other day, I was holding Madi and one of her arms flopped out and Taylor ran over and grabbed it and told her to keep it at her stomach.  I was in shock to realize how much Taylor has noticed when we are holding Madi!  I am thinking she is definitely going to be a huge helper to her!
