Our little toddler is now 16 lbs 6 oz (0%). We're not ready to forward-face in the car yet, but she definitely is feeling a lot heavier to me now! The dr expects her to be the 20 lbs, which is required to forward-face in the car, by Dec. That's a little more ahead of where I was at her age. She's also now 28.25 in (25%), with her head measuring 45 cm (50%). Her weight and length were growing at the same rates as they have been, but her head experienced some rapid growth. Because of this, the dr ordered a CT scan just as a precaution just to be sure that there wasn't anything causing the growth. She did say that it could be either her catching up in growth or if there's a big head in the family, then she could be getting one as well.
Leighton was such a trooper while getting her CT scan done, which was scheduled for the very next day. They laid her arms down next to her, then wrapped her up like a little burrito. They then put a strap over her forehead, and packed towels on either side of her head to be sure she didn't move while it was taking pictures. She looked so sad and so sweet while laying there. I wish we got a picture, but at the same time I didn't think it was appropriate. She did so well for the techs! They said if only all their patients did that well, then they could do them all day long. She never cried, fussed, or even tried to wiggle out! She's such a sweetie pie and we're so proud of her!! One of the techs even told her that she got to see pictures of her brain, and that she had a pretty brain! lol
The dr's office called the next day with the results. They said they came back negative!! Wahoo! Our little girl is just getting a big head. :) That's okay! That just means she'll be smart!
