New stats and afternoon at the zoo

Madeline had a busy few days, on Monday she went for her six month check up. Here are her new stats:

weight - 15 lbs, 13 ozs (50th percentile)
length - 25 3/4 in (50th percentile
head - 42 cm (50th percentile)

The doctor said she is right on track with everything and may even be a little advanced in her sitting skills! Our little over achiever since the beginning!

The doctor also detected a small heart murmur so she is having us go to a cardiologist just to make sure it is nothing serious. She said many kids have them and that we should not be worried. Knowing that she is not worried about it helps a lot, but laying in bed last night I started to freak out a little. I feel much better about it this morning and I know everything is going to be alright, it just sounds like such a scary thing. We have our appointment on June 15th and I will definitely keep you posted once we go.

We also got the go ahead to move her up to stage two foods, because baby girl likes to eat! Over the next month we can also let her start trying to eat Cheerios and Gerber puffs if she is interested and we can also try a sippy cup. She always seems very interested in drinking out of our glasses so I'm hoping she will take the sippy cup.

And baby girl now has her second tooth coming in! Both bottom, front teeth are starting to make an appearance.



Also, this last Sunday was a gorgeous (and hot) day and we decided to not waste it! So we packed Maddie up and headed off to the zoo! She enjoyed it about as much as any six month old could, meaning she did not fall asleep the entire time we were there.



Unfortunately we weren't there as long as we wanted to be. At one point she started getting fussy and as I was going through the diaper bag to make her a bottle I realized that I had left all the formula at home! Uugghhh!! I was so frustrated with myself. We gave Madeline a bottle of just water which did help because it was so hot out, but we had to leave shortly there after.

We did get to see Maddie's friend Livy though for a few minutes! Livy is the daughter of Brittany who Alex and I both work with. Our due dates were a month apart so we go to experience all the "joys" of pregnancy together. Livy was born just six weeks after Maddie and this is the first time they have been together that one of them is not asleep.





That's all for now!
