Yesterday, for the first time, I looked at Maddie and thought she was big. It was, and still is, amazing. Maddie was such a small baby and now she seems giant. I know she's still on the small side (she's only in the 10th percentile for weight, but the 50th percentile for length), but she's up to about 13 pounds now and finally has fat rolls. Her 6 month clothes fit her and she's so cute and rosy. Also, she acting like a much older baby. When she was first born, she cried all the time and seemed totally freaked out to be alive. Now, she's so happy, she smiles all the time, and she loves to play. She can roll over both ways, though she doesn't do it a lot, she can sit up, and she's really, really good with her hands - she even holds her own bottle. Oh, and when she's laying down, she tries to do sit-ups. It's very cute - she looks like she's trying to do pilates. Within the next few weeks, we'll start her on rice cereal. It's just amazing how quickly things change.

Don't trust those charts they use at the pediatrician. They include formula-fed babies. Breastfed babies gain less weight. Check out these charts: http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/growth/growthcharts.html
Lucy tracks much better on this chart than on the pediatrician's.
Maddie's doing great!
