6 Months

Jeff took these pics this morning for me. He took a ton, but they were all blurry because someone was moving in all of them!! Miss Madison is 6 months old today, and she had her checkup. Her stats were:

• Weight: 17lb, 4oz--80th percentile
• Length: 27 3/4"--100th percentile
• Head: 45cm--100th percentile

I was just thinking the past few weeks that Madison was starting to grow into that big head of hers, but maybe I was wrong!!! She gets her head from her Daddy. I think so far that the big head is the only negative thing that she's gotten from Jeff. She has several negative things from me!!! Dr. Sood said that she was probably going to be 3 inches taller than me. I'm 5'5" tall, so that would make her 5'8". However, he told us last time that she was going to be 2 inches taller than me. So, I don't know. He did tell us that he thought we should have started with veggies instead of fruit because babies always prefer the sweeter things and then they won't eat the veggies. However, she really hasn't shown much interest in the fruit, except the bananas. She loved them! She hated the prunes and the applesauce. She really, really likes her oatmeal though. She got mad last night when she ate it all. I think I'm going to increase the amount we give her tonight.

I know I've said this several times before, but I just can't believe that our little baby is getting so big. I swear it was just yesterday she was born. She's getting more and more independent everyday. She HATES to lay down. She wants to be sitting up at all times. She's really loving the bumbo right now. We got some new Baby Einstein videos, and she's been sitting in her bumbo and watching them. She's such a big, big girl!!
