Madison 6 Months Old

What a Big girl you are now Maddie! You are half-way to being a one year old. Oh my! Six months sure came fast. You are becoming a little person and have so much personality. You entertain us daily and light up our day with your bright smile. We are thankful you are here and have chosen to be apart of our family.

This is what you are doing now:

• You sit up by yourself well.


• You grab at everything and love new toys.


• You love to take baths in the big tub and splash all the water out.


• You weighed a hefty 18 1/2 lbs at your last doctors appointment.


• You love to hear yourself scream, so much so that it makes Pumpkin the Guinea Pig mad.


• Your hair is starting to grow and wear lots of pretty bows in it.


• You wear a size 2/3 diaper and 12/18 month clothes (depending on the brand).


• You love to eat pears, carrots, & applesauce. We found a piece of cardboard in your mouth the other day and I don't think you liked that as much.


• Your favorite snacks are the Gerber puffy cheese sticks and yogurt melts. Even Brittany & Jared like these and want me to buy it for them. :)


• You roll all over the place when we are not looking. We constantly ask, How did you get there?


• You can do lots of stand-up, pull-up exersizes, your legs & arms are strong.


• You suck your thumb to help you fall asleep or signal that you are hungry.


• You hate to wear socks and will work at getting them off everytime.


• You love to take pictures. You honestly smile big when you see me with the camera.


• You had three shots at your 6 months Dr. appt. and you barely cried. You were a trooper.

What the next month will bring us in your development is a good guess. I think you're going to be even more mobile and active. I'm already going to have to start child proofing the house, because anyday you will be crawling. Until then, we will just enjoy you staying still. :)
