Maddy weighs in at 14 pounds now. She is still small for her age, 10% in height and head circumference, and 25% in weight. Maddy had her ears pierced and received four shots. She did surprisingly well the rest of the day.
I asked Maddy's doctor if Maddy's feet looked the same as other 6 month olds. First, she reminded me of what Maddy's feet looked like when she was born. Then she showed me the differences, such as the tops of her feet are puffier and the way her feet are angled.
The Dennis-Browne shoes hold Maddy's feet at a 60 degree angle, so when the shoes are off, her feet are still angled outward instead of straight. I don't know if her feet will correct themselves when she starts walking or if the ortho doc. will change the degree as she gets older. Maddy has an ortho appointment this month so I will ask then.
Also, Maddy is now getting up on her hands and knees in the crawling position. Our ortho doc. said that when she did this we could do the shoes for naps and night time instead of 20 hours a day. I was so excited!!!
Well, that's the Maddy update.
