18 Months

Our happy, healthy little girl!

This week Madelyn had her 18 month check up.  She is doing great!  No ear infections - yay!!  Her ears are clear and tubes are in place.

Height: 35 inches (97%+)
Weight: 29 lbs 1 oz (95%)
Head Size: 49.2 cm (97%)

Madelyn is all over the place these days.  She is not one to sit still.  She climbs up & down the stairs.  I'm still a little nervous when she comes down because she isn't completely stable and one of these times she is going to be so excited that she trips and comes tumbling down!  She is saying more and more words and even putting some words together.  Night Night Mommy (one of my favorites as she waves when I leave the room).  She loves being a helper.  She now throws things in the garbage - we just have to keep an eye on what she is throwing away!  She likes to eat at the table with us.  She still sits in her high chair but doesn't use the tray anymore.  She's growing up so fast!

Madelyn developed a yeast infection a week or so ago from an antibiotic she was on for pink eye/sinus infection.  This was our first experience with a yeast infection which I am actually surprised about since she has been on antibiotics for most of her life (due to ear infections).  It was getting worse & worse (even with the creams, frequent diaper changes, not using wipes).  As soon as she stopped the antibiotic it cleared up, almost instantly!  Good to know for future!

These are just some of my favorite pictures from this age!
