23rd Dec 2013 - 18mths 17 days old

We brought Phebe to Steven Ng because she fell ill these 2 days. We did the usual feeding paracetamol and nurofen alternating 4hrly.  But it wasn't too successful trying to bring the fever down to an acceptable level of <38.0°C
Therefore both hubs and I decided that we need to visit the paed before the holidays to get medication for her in case there is any underling situation.

Steven did a small assessment for her *actual assessment to be done on her 19th mth appointment.

Height: 77cm *25%* grown from 72cm at 13mth assessment.
Weight: 10.0kg *50%* grown from 8.5kg at 13mth assessment.
Head Circumference: 45cm *20%* grown from 44.5cm at 13mth assessment.

I'm pleased with her height and weight growth as it went up from 10% to 25% percentile and from 25% to 50% respectively.
I was joking with hubs that her brains ain't growing much as her head circumference didn't grow as much as expected. Dropped from 25% to 20% percentile.

But I guess the real reason was she has a 前土后土 head shape from birth... so after sleeping facing up for the past 3months, I guess her 后土 is flattening? She switched sleeping posture recently.  Used to sleep face down all the time.

Her achievements : she loves dancing, singing and everything girly. I love it! I have a super interactive kid.  Ryan was the exact opposite.

Disclaimer: I love both kids in their own ways!

Her favourite TV programs: Sofia The First, Hi-5, Timmy Time, Oggy and The Cockroaches.

@ 3mths Phebe was already lifting up her head, mini push ups.  She was already flipping from front to back And back to front. Physical development was faster than Ryan.

Vaguely remembered Phebe being able to call Dada by 7mths or so And mama by 8mths.

She recognizes neh neh as milk And water as liquids given by 8mths.

She sleeps in between us but she is a more independent sleeper compared to Ryan.

Phebe has Roseola

Phebe had fever spiking on Monday, 15 Apr 2013. It lasted for 4days ending on Thursday, 18 Apr 2013.
She had greenish brown poo on Friday 5x.  Thereafter, Saturday morning she woke up with red bumps on her scalp And body. It has yet to spread to face And limbs which I'm sure it will within these 2 days.
I'm glad Rashes appeared which is a sign that fever completely broke And toxins are removed via loose stools the day before.

Just hope the Rashes disappear soon. My baby is growing up!
