Short Lived

Sunday morning I woke up refreshed. Madi had slept 6 hours straight, which was a first for her. I was so bloody excited. Well, that didn't last, the following night she was up every 3 hours, and last night every 1 1/2 - 2. I'm grumpy.

Yesterday we went to the pediatrician and thank goodness, no shots! Madison is 28 3/4" (73.02 cm) tall and 20 lbs 1/2 oz. (9.299 kg) She's growing like a weed. The pedi thinks she'll be walking within the next 2 months, oh my! Madi is starting to sign back to us, and knows "eat," "more," "hi/bye," and she claps (at the right moment). She's a great eater, and is starting to show signs of sleeping through the night. What's great too is that she is understanding both English and Polish and responds appropriately to both languages. I just have to remember to speak Polish to her constantly.

They also did a hemoglobin test to check her iron. That came back as 11.0, the cut off being 10.5. We're supposed to increase green veggies and start red meat. Also, the pedi was concerned about Madi's hips. The right one is the one in question, and we had to go have her x-rayed. That was definitely not fun. My poor baby girl screamed and screamed. We'll know what's up by week's end.

I'm also planning her 1st birthday party, and have created a save the date postcard...
