Madeline’s 6 Months Old!
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009In some ways it feels like only yesterday that we were at the hospital for her birth and in other ways it seems like an eternity. But one thing is absolutely constant – neither of us were totally prepared for how much a baby grows and changes as each day passes. We never expected that at six months she would be sitting up unsupported, "yapping" at us, or adding her opinion with coos and sighs during our conversations.
She has quite the personality. She is an absolute joy. She is cheerful and easy going. She smiles and laughs all the time. She enjoys field trips (aka errands) and she seems to be a perfect fit to our family. We love that she smiles at people and we are often complemented on how well she behaves in a public situation. We’re very aware that she is becoming more and more active and soon she will be running through the house creating all sorts of chaos. She has Andre’s patience and Jennifer’s sense of being busy. And she’s just getting started….
Today, was Madeline’s six month check-up. The doctor said she looks good, is thriving, eating well, looks happy and is doing exactly what they expect a baby her age to be doing. He gave the go-ahead to start fruits and veggies. He also advised us to baby proof because she would be on the move soon! She weighs 19 pounds (94%), is 25.5 inches long (41%), and her head is 17.5 inches (93%).
