I can’t believe Madelyn is 6 months old. It makes me sick how fast time flies. Madi is the sweetest and most content baby. I wish I could just push pause and keep her a baby forever. At her 6 month check-up she weighed 20lbs 1.5oz and was 26.25in long. (Abi was 16lbs 6.5oz and 25in long at 6 months) That’s 95th percentile for weight and 76th percentile for length. The doc says she is “slimming down.” Ha! We had to get down the tub of 12-18 months clothes for Miss Butter Thighs. Keep in mind, Abi wore that size only last summer!! And as soon as I finish the box of size 3 diapers in the closet, they will wear the same size diaper. It’s kind of ridiculous. And hilarious.
Madi is really good at sitting up by herself now. And we are now if my favorite stage. I love when they can sit on their own and play without going anywhere! She still doesn’t have any teeth, but I can see her two bottom teeth under the gum. She is starting to get pretty noisy and does a lot of growling, grunting, spitting, cooing, shrieking, etc. She loves to roll and entertains herself by rolling around the room from toy to toy. Abi and Madi have really been playing a lot lately and it’s adorable. Abi loves to play peek-a-boo with her, read her books and smother her in general. And Madi just loves it.
Madi has been constantly congested for the past month. She wakes up multiple times a night because she can’t breathe. So the doctor suggested giving her Zyrtec daily to combat the congestion; since it’s probably just the same sinus junk the rest of us are suffering with. I was really hesitant to give Zyrtec to a baby, but he assured me it’s totally fine. And she may not even need it once it gets warm. And so far, it works like a charm! She has been consistently sleeping 8:30-6:30 and I feel renewed!

Now that Madi can sit up, the girls love taking a bath together. Although
it doesn't look like it from this awkward picture. And I love it too because it saves me so much time. |
