Mady at six-months-old

At six months Mady…

· eats just about anything she can get my hands on. Recently started step 2 foods and love chicken noodle! Had ham & apples and ham & vegetables for Easter lunch and Easter dinner.
· make a mmmmm noise when eating something she likes.
· When Momma doesn’t feed her fast enough, she slaps her hands on the high chair tray and open her mouth in a big O-shape.
· sit up by herself for quite a while, like 5 minutes. She hasn’t figured out how to get out of the sitting position, so normally she just tips over.
· can crawl backwards and rock on her knees, but still hasn’t quite mastered the moving forward yet.
· is beginning to laugh at things all by herself, without someone doing something funny. Loves to laugh when she’s getting her diaper changed, like she knows that it’s nasty!
· is in the last of her 3-6 month clothes and is onto her 6 month outfits.
· just discovered that she has toes. We realized last week that for her whole life she’s always worn outfits with feet in them or had socks on. We’re trying to let her go barefoot more now. Seeing that she is part Brehmer, she will probably prefer to go barefoot always.
· has a drool rash around her mouth from her constant drooling and the nuk rubbing on it.
· has lots of stranger anxiety. Did very well at Easter church service, until people started coming up after the service to ooh and ahh at Mady. Then she cried.
· is 26 inches long and 15 lbs. 13 oz. Quite a difference from 6 months ago at 20.5 inches long and 9lb. 2 oz. J
· would rather spend time on the floor than in anyone’s arm or on anyone’s lap anymore.
· is normally a very, very happy girl. We are blessed.
