Six Months Already!

Maggie went to the doctor this week for her 6 month check up-I can't believe she's already 6 months old...time seriously flies when you are having fun! Most of the news we got from the doctor was good. She's 15 pounds, 13 ounces (50th percentile), 25 inches long (25th percentile-a shorty like her mom and dad), and growing like a weed! The bad news from our visit was that she has her second ear infection (since Christmas), so she's been pretty uncomfortable. The great news, however, is that she has finally turned the corner and seems to be feeling much better...if we could only get her to sleep through the night again, we'd be in business! Other than that, she's now eating stage 2 baby food to include meats and new fruits, and she is absolutely loving life with her new found candy (teething tablets)! We are having so much fun watching her grow and discover the world around her...she is SO good natured and genuinely loves to be around people-friends and strangers, she loves them all!

Attached are a few picture updates of some of her 6 month tricks:

THINKING ABOUT CRAWLING


SMILING A WHOLE LOT...


LAUGHING A LOT TOO!


SHE LOVES HER MEASURING CUPS (and we rarely leave home without them)


SITS UP LIKE A CHAMPION


SHE'S FOUND HER TOES, AND SHE LOVES TO CHEW ON THEM!!


LOVING BATH TIME AND ALL OF THE TOYS THAT COME WITH IT


EATING LIKE A CHAMP (she gets that honestly!)


CHEWING ON EVERYTHING IN SIGHT...


BUT NO TEETH YET!


What a great source of entertainment she is to Robby and me! She still loves to bounce, both in and out of her Johnny Jump Up and doesn't slow down until it's time to go to bed at night! She wears us both out with her energy level, but we wouldn't trade it for the world-I am excited to see what new tricks next month brings!

She's a doll, Lauren! And, thanks for the trip down memory lane. One night i'll have to pull up my old VHS of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" for a movie night. Hilarious!
