On March 15th Madison had her 6 month appointment. Her appointment was at 1:45, there was not a single person in the waiting room and we were taken straight back. That was the fastest her and I have been in and out of there. Anyways, I just wanted to share her new measurements!
Weight: 15lbs 9.5 ounces, 32%
Length: 25.5, 30%
Head Cir.: 16.5, 26%
Dr. Smiley is happy with her growth as it is consistent for each visit and is moving along on the charts, but she said we have a petite girl! She did her usual routine--- ears are good, she does have two bottom teeth, no visual signs of coming through on the top yet, eyes are good, hips, and so on. She did have her shots and she did awesome with them during and the days after.
Other than the doctor visit, at home she is hitting many milestones. She is consecutively rolling across the floor, next thing you know she is about to roll off the rug or has rolled to her friend Kinleigh and is stealing her toys. What she doesn't know is that Kinleigh will be following right behind her doing the same.
A few other new things she is doing--sucks on her passy when going to sleep now, wakes up in the middle of the night at 4ish, sucks her toes, gives kisses, she will not go to just anybody, does not do well in the church nursery and she has been 4 or 5 times now, all of a sudden hates bananas?, moves backwards in her walker, reaches for people and has the cutest belly laugh! Gahhhh, I love her so much! <3
At two weeks old Madison’s eyes had already started to change. I first noticed that in her left eye it brown spreading through it. I had been waiting for her eyes to go brown since she was born because both mine and John's are brown. Both my mom and dad have browns eyes. Johns dad has brown too I think, and his moms are hazel. Anyways, after a few weeks there were no new changes to her eyes other than the one left eye that had changed partially brown. I looked at her eyes every day. I always thought it would be neat to have a blue eyed baby with some beautiful brown hair! Well, it looks like we got a little of both.
Today, at 7 months and 2 days old Madison has one solid blue eye and one blue/brown eye. By the way, we are totally ok with this. We just wanted her eyes to be healthy, which Dr. Smiley has confirmed! I also want her to be ok with it, but at this point I am not concerned this as much because eyes change throughout your whole life. Who knows that they will be like when she is old enough to care? If it were to bother her, she could wear contacts if she wanted to. Although, I hope she doesn't because it so very unique.
I recently googled information on having two different color eyes and what I found was a lot of celebrity pictures who had different color eyes. I discovered that it is called heterochromia. Heterochromia is differenation of color. There is complete, partial and central heterochromia. It is rare for humans to have complete heterochromia, but even more rare for humans to have partial heterochromia. Madison’s eye is partial heterochromia. (Please know, I googled this---I have not mentioned it to Dr. Smiley so who knows if heterochromia is a legit real thing though it appears to be, but I will next appointment.) It is mainly brown with only a chunk of blue. People have told us she has beautiful blue eyes. That blue eye just stands out more than the other and catches your eye first. I asked John the other day what color would Madison say her eyes are if they are still the same when she has to fill something out about them. It obviously has to be blue.
I just wanted to share what I found. I think it is interesting! I love the picture from iFunny that John sent me---a beautiful mutation!
