Six Months!!


Madelyn's Monthly Update (coming only two weeks late)

Her sixth month was wonderful! It's been so much fun to watch her grow this month. She's become so responsive to everything we say and do!

Madelyn...
  • LOVES her exersaucer when no one is in the room (if she can see you, she'd rather be in your arms)
  • Weighs 14 pounds and is 24 inches long.
  • Loves to suck on a wet wash cloth. It's almost as good as a pacifier!
  • Drinks water out of a glass. She thinks she's so big when she does it. Anytime we have a glass of water she fusses until she gets a drink. Most of the water runs down her face and chest, but we still think it's pretty cute!
  • Drinks juice. She loves it!
  • Rolls over back to front and back again! Its become her new mode of transportation. We have to be very careful with what we put within her field of vision!
  • SWIMS! She's been to the pool three times now and she seems to really enjoy it (more to come on this later).
  • Smiles and melts your heart.
Brian and I really love watching her grow into her own person. She's got quite the little personality! We love having her around.

This is her the day she hit six months. I love how the apple blossoms on the tree match her little outfit.


Here she is in one of her swimsuits. Notice her mini flip-flops. One of them fell off just before the picture.

Jumping on the trampoline!

So cute, she looks just like you Tjarks. How's SD?
