Madeleine is a little over 6 months old already! I can't believe it! We had our 6-month check-up today and M weighs 19 lbs & 12 oz (96%) and is 2' 2.75" tall (83%). Her head circumference took a big jump and she is now in the 98% for head circumference! Does that mean she has a big brain and is going to be really smart? :-) Just kidding!
What is Madeleine up to?
- She has her 1st tooth! A little tooth popped through today on the bottom.
- She completely sits on her own and plays, reaching more and more everyday for her toys. We have started to move her toys a bit out of her reach to encourage her to move from the sitting position and onto her hands and knees.
- She shows a lot of interest in food and has eaten everything from peas to peaches.
- Napping is okay...on a good day she naps for 3 hours straight but going down at night can be a struggle. Madeleine is once again sleeping through the night so I shouldn't complain but some nights she really fights going to bed!
- Madeleine already has lots of baby friends - from my baby playgroup to neighbors with baby girls the same age to highschool & college friends with babies the same age...we are having a lot of fun! And Madeleine has another baby girl to befriend when Andrea delivers in November!!
- We will start to introduce M to a tippy cup w/ water and little finger foods like cheerios in the upcoming weeks.
As for Jeff and I, we can't believe how much she has grown! Every stage seems to be more and more fun. We are going away next weekend and it will be my 1st overnight away from Madeleine. We are excited but will miss her a lot!
