Everything's Ducky!!

Today was Madison's follow-up appointment with the doctor regarding her neck. We were a little anxious for the appointment because we did not want her to have to go to physical therapy (we realize there are worst things that could be wrong).

The doctor was impressed with her progress. He asked us how much we thought that she had improved and we said at least 50%. He initially said he thought 40%, but as we talked with him Madison turned her head from side to side while laying on the exam table. He ended up saying that she had improved 70%. He said that our hard work had paid off and that she didn't need PT and to keep up what we are doing. So, we are really relieved. We do think that it has helped that she has been home with me and getting more tummy time and neck stretching since they really don't do it at daycare. What I have found out works best(Jen doesn't like at all)Madison likes to watch tv!! She really holds her head up when she watches tv. We are thinking we need to buy some Baby Einstein videos or something more kids oriented than CNN or whatever is on tv (she did like watching the Nascar race a few weeks ago because of the cars going around the track!)

Madison weighed 12 lbs 10 ounces today at her appointment, so she has gained over a pound in a month.

Tomorrow Madison will officially be 3 months old (it's hard to believe). Here is a picture that we took today in a duck outfit that her grandma (Dianne) bought her for Valentines Day.
