Maddie turned six months yesterday. Eric and I are so excited and can't believe that it's been half a year with our wee cute baby. We took her to the doctor today for her check up and she was a champ. For a baby that constantly cried for the first three months, she has really come a long way. Now she smiles all the time and at everyone - even when she's really tired. She hardly even cried when she got her shots today and, actually, she was crying because the nurse pinned her legs down! Anyway, her six months stats are as follows:
Length: 26 inches (50 + percentile)
Weight: 13 pounds, 10 ounces (10 percentile)
Head circumference: 42 1/2 centimeters (50-75 percentile)
The doctor also said that we could start her on solids, which I was very excited about. So, as soon as we came home, I mixed up some rice cereal and fed it to Maddie. She was a little unsure of it, but she generally loves anything you put in her mouth, so she ate it right up. We're giving her bananas for dinner tonight. We also had the doctor check out her cold and he said she was recovering well, so it was all good news for Maddie today. Now she's napping...life is good!
