Stat update

I decided I would take this long weekend as an opportunity to post a blog about Sloane's stats. Then I realized that her last doctor's appointment, which was right before we left for Italy, was almost a month ago already! How time flies. So, take these stats with a 3-weeks-ago-grain-of-salt, but here they are: weight: 22 lbs., 1.5 oz.; length: 29 inches and head circumference: 18.75 inches. If I remember correctly, this puts her in the 90th, 75th and 99th percentiles, respectively.

This is also a nice opportunity to show off one of the cute dresses that Grannie Frannie got for Sloane during the trip to Italy. You can also see that she's all about pulling herself up to standing now. She can crawl around and now can "walk" 'round her "pen" (a few feet at least) by holding on and scooting one way or the other.
And, if you've seen her in the past few weeks, you may have noticed the horrible rash on her face. I think we found the cure! Acquaphor -- it's a vaseline-like skin treatment for babies' dry skin. We had tried so many things, and this worked in one day! My dermatologiest - who has a toddler who experienced similar binky-related issues -- recommended it. Yay!! And, the prunes have solved the other issue we've had lately. :) So, all in all, Sloane's a happy, healthy little toddler!
