At your 6 month well visit you weighed 16.2 pounds and are 25 inches long. I think the length is right; but cannot remember for sure as it has been so long since your 6 month appointment!
-Size 3 diapers
-Size 6 month clothing, some 9 month and mostly 9 month pajamas
-Still taking 7-8 ounces of formula every 4 hours
-Are well into solids. You love oatmeal cereal and almost all of the fruit/veggie combos we have given you thus far. You have oatmeal cereal in the morning and a fruit/veggie blend in the afternoon.
-Still going to bed between 7:30 and 8:30 pm and sleep continuously until we get you up around 7 am
-Sadly, a month or so ago you decided that you do not like to be rocked to sleep anymore. If I try to rock you, you cry and get fussy. You much prefer for me to out you in your crib and you almost always put yourself to sleep. Such a big girl!
-Are sitting up really well now; it is so nice to be able to plop you down and you can play with your toys for awhile by yourself
-You have started looking up at me when I am holding you and you generally get this big smile on your face when you make eye contact with me...it makes me melt
-You also love to make eye contact and engage with us only to smile and immediately hide on our arm like you are bashful; so cute
-Got baptized this month at Milden Presbyterian Church in Sharps, VA, where a number of people in you Daddy's family have been baptized, married, etc...it was really special! Your Godparents, Brooke and Michael and their son, William made the trek for the event as well!!
-Helped with the special surprise I gave Daddy for our anniversary, a Yeti cooler (see picture below)!!
-Had your first Halloween. You were a strawberry. You loved picking up candy out of my co-worker's bowls at work for our Trick or Treat. You had so much fun!
-Began army crawling the past week or so. I have a feeling we are going to have one very mobile baby very soon!
-Are extremely talkative lately....you become more vocal all the time!
-Love anything crinkly. EX: at your 6 month appointment, you love the paper on the examining table and loved patting it repeatedly to hear the sound it made
Madison, we love you so much and can't believe how quickly you are growing and changing!
We love you, bug!
