Maddie went to see Dr. Howelton yesterday for her six month checkup. Luckily, Les was off on a Friday night so he was able to come with me. It was a nice treat. He held Maddie while they gave her the four shots she needed. She also got a flu shot. Poor baby, she screamed and he had to blow in her mouth to get her to breathe. It breaks my heart but she actually did better this time around. She fussed a little but we kept on Christmas shopping. Then, we went to dinner and she was great. Here is a cute picture of Maddie while she was waiting for the doctor. Oh, i forgot to tell you: she starting sitting up on her own Thanksgiving morning. It was so exciting!
Maddie is weighing: 15 lbs. 0 oz. and is 24 in. long.
The doctor was so surprised at well she is sitting up on her own and how active she is. Maddie pushed Dr. Howelton's hand away when she went to listen to her heart. Then she grabbed the stethescope and tried to chew on it. The doctor said she shouldn't be doing that until 9 months. She was impressed with Maddiebug.
She is now able to eat Stage 2 foods and have juice in a cup. The cup has to have handles. We couldn't believe that she was able to do have a cup already. Wow....its exciting for us. Maddie just loves her babyfood so this will be fun.
Everything else is good, Maddie goes to bed around 7:00 and sleeps till around 5:30 a.m. We are very blessed to have such a good baby.
