Well-Check:
In spite of being sick just before her well-check appointment, Maddie "passed" with flying colors. She was in a great mood and let the doctor exam her without a single complaint. She didn't have to get any shots this time since she'd been sick so that also made for a pleasant appointment.
Stats:
Weight - 17 lbs 5oz (75%)
Height - 25 1/2 in (50%)
Head - 43 1/4 cm (75%)
Maddie at 6 Months Old:
- She's got 2 bottom teeth and one top tooth that just popped out.
- Smiles all the time
- Laughs more often when tickled, at toys or when Mom and Dad are silly.
- Babbles more and makes sounds that sound like Momma and Hi.
- Can be put in a sitting position and play for 15+ mins but still topples over on occasion
- Passes her toys back and forth between her hands. She's a little juggler.
- Bobs her head to Raffi songs
- Finally enjoys playtime on her tummy
- Can roll across a mat or bed really quickly. Eric and I watch her closely!
- Has started to scoot forward with knees folded underneath her - crawling is right around the corner!
- Loves solid foods for dinner. So far, she's enjoyed every vegetable we've given her.
- Still really likes people and is most content when she has people to study or flirt with.
- Reaches for and grabs everything. It's like she's got magnets for fingers.
- Every diaper change is like wrestling with a jitterbug. She's got more important things to do than lie still for a diaper change.
- Sleeps about 10-11 hrs each night and no longer needs to be rocked to sleep or swaddled. Yay for sleep training!
