6 Months Old Already!?!

Madi turned six months old last Tuesday.  Can you believe it?  On Wednesday, we visited her pediatrician for her six month well baby check-up and shots.  Madi was a trooper, she only cried for a little bit after receiving her shots. 

At this visit the physician shared that we could start adding more solids to her diets, like Cheerios and teething biscuits.  She also encouraged us to start teaching Madi to drink water out of a sippy cup.

Madilyn's stats as of this visit were:
  • Head circumference - 16.25" (18th percentile)
  • Height - 26" (61st percentile)
  • Weight - 16 pounds, 11 ounces (63rd percentile)
Here are some of Madi's new milestones we have experienced this past month:
  • She is sitting up on her own completely
  • She is able to roll from front to back and back to front with ease
  • She consistently talks to herself.  If only we knew what she was saying ....
  • She has mastered the "riverdance" by bouncing in her playgym
  • Two teeth have appeared on her bottom gums
  • She is able to transfer objects from one hand to another
  • She enjoys picking up Cheerios even if she hasn't yet been able to place one in her mouth
  • Her favorite new toy is her "car walker".  She can successful walk forward and backwards without help from us.
  • She has reached the "oh, there are my toes ... they taste so yummy" stage.
Here are a couple of photos taken in the pediatrician's office at her well baby visit.
