Madison had her 6 month well exam Monday. Poor baby got more shots on top of dealing with sensitive gums. :o( Now that she is paying much more attention to what is going on, it was so much harder for me to watch her get the shots than ever before. She held on to me so tight and cried and cried with her face buried on my shoulder for what seemed like forever. I wanted to cry right along with her. She has a tiny little bruise on one thigh where she got stuck too. :o( She did well afterwards though, as she always does. No fever and no reaction otherwise, so that's good!

On a lighter note, she weighs 15 lbs 2 ounces and is 27 1/4 inches long. She is in the 21st % for her weight, so 80% of babies her age weigh more....and is in the 90th % for length; 90% of babies her age are shorter! I knew there had to be a reason that she outgrew everything she owns overnight!! :o) ...we had fun shopping for new clothes.

So, what's new with Madison?

She's begun babbling - we've heard "daadaa", "baabaa" and "maamaa"! She's also beginning to let out some very high pitch squeals!!

She really wants to move!! When sitting, she puts her feet back (with her legs in a "W" position) and rocks forward to where she is almost up on her knees, but normally comes down on her tummy. If there is anything within her reach when she does this, she tries to pull up on it from a sitting position.

Here's a few pictures of her playing in her new "big girl" jeans before leaving for daycare yesterday morning.
