The other day Laila had her 7 month checkup! I can't believe how old she is getting. I feel like time has been going so much faster since I stopped breastfeeding. Probably because I am less stressed... but I think that it also helps that Laila is now able to really play on her own. I can put her on her little rug (we bought one for the living room because Enzio didn't want her sucking on the floor after we mopped it, etc) and she will play with her box of toys for about two hours happily (if she is in a good mood that is). It's amazing!
ANYWAY - so Laila is apparently 2'2.4" (26.4 inches) long (interesting, since she was longer than that last month, but she wiggles around a lot and her legs were out to the side when she was measured, so it isn't particularly exact). In other words - I don't know how long she is, but that's fine. She is also 16.15 pounds - putting her in the 47th percentile!!! That's almost average! I'm very excited about this since she had been in the 9th percentile not all that long ago. As for her head circumference - it is 17 inches (putting her in the 55th percentile).
The only issue is that her labia adhesion is apparently a bit worse now than it is before. Now I have to put hydrocortisone cream on the area twice a day, applying with some pressure. We are going to try the over the counter stuff before going up to something stronger. I am happy to say that it already seems to be working a little bit... so hopefully we will never have to use more powerful stuff.
