6 Month Check Up

Madelyn had her 6 month well visit this week. I just have to brag a bit, so indulge this proud momma for a minute.


She is right on track with all her developmental milestones! Dr. Q complimented her and she just grinned at him...no playing bashful for this girl!


Just a few of her note worthy tricks:
- Holds her head up GREAT!!

- Grabs toys (and other items...including, but not limited to - my hair, Clara, my hair, burp rag, my hair)

- Smiles, laughs, and talks up a storm!

- reaches out to play with the objects on her jumperoo

- rolls both ways

- wiggles all over the place!

- tries to hold her bottle
- is very, very aware of her surroundings (and she knows when I leave the room!)

- sits up well with support


My favorite thing lately is watching her figure out sitting up. I have a feeling she will master this feat without support soon. Dr. Q says expect it in the next month or so.


She has been doing this thing lately where when you sit her up and take your hands away she leans forward (like she's touching her toes) with an arm on the ground in front of her. I learned at the Dr. that this actually has a name. It's called the tripod! How funny!!


Madelyn's Stats:
Height: 25 3/4 in
Weight: 17 lbs 3.5 oz
Head Circumference: 17 1/4 in

EVERYTHING goes in her mouth...(so please strangers at a restaurant or the grocery store DON'T touch her hands!!)
