6 Month Check Up

Maddy and I went this morning for her 6 month check up. Here are the stats: She weighed in at 15.8 pounds and measured 26 inches. She was in the 50th percentile for her height, weight and head circumference (that means that she's very much average). The doctor said that everything looks GREAT!! He gave us the go-ahead to try some table foods. He gave me some suggestions of things to start with... and a few warnings of things to steer clear of (eggs, nuts, etc.). I gave her some applesauce for lunch and she seemed to like that. Her next big hurdles are learning how to feed herself some of the finger foods and using her sippy cup on her own. She's been drinking a little water out of the sippy cup, but doesn't hold it on her own. She also had to get 3 shots while we were there. We're going to do Tylenol every 4 hours this time since the last round of vaccines were not so painless. So far, so good!! We're due for another dose in about an hour.

After we left the doctor, we ran a couple of errands. It was only supposed to be ONE errand, but my car seems to have a slow leak in the tire, so I stopped by Discount Tire to get them to take a look at it, and sure enough! There was a screw in my tire. They removed the screw and patched the tire FOR FREE!!! Isn't that GREAT?!?!

Not too much else has been going on here. Bryan and I took some pretty cute pictures of Maddy last night, and a GREAT video, which I'll post now for all to enjoy!!

Look at that!! She even takes self portraits!! HaHaHa. Just kidding!!



Everyone from the newest generation (Maddy and Nash) was completely into watching Bryan play the original Nintendo that we hooked up last night (Thanks Mom and Dad). Yes, that's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game he's playing!! :)





This is a video of Maddy giggling. I love the fact that such simple things seem to make her happy... Just my hair tickling her belly brought her to a belly laugh!!! :)




I hope everyone has enjoyed this latest installment... Happy almost Easter!! Talk to you soon!!

Love you guys!!! :)
