6 Months

All smiles!

Maddie is already 6 months old! Where has the time gone? She went to a new pediatrician this past week for her 6 month checkup. Here are some stats from her appointment:


Weight 16 lbs 11 oz (75th)
Length 26 ½ in (75th)
Head 16 ½ (50th)


We started her on rice cereal about 3 weeks ago and she really likes it. Since then we have added squash, she thought it was ok. Then, sweet potatoes, not too much reaction, but she ate them well. Now we are onto green beans....not too excited. When I mix them with the cereal she will eat them.

She is sitting pretty well for a few seconds unassisted.

I introduced the sippy cup. She likes to play with it and put her mouth on the spout, but does not drink anything. Gets mad when you take it away or she drops it. That is one of the few things that upset her when you take it away.

Weekend in Aggieland!

Our family on the Quad. Can you tell it was hot and humid ??

This past weekend we went to Aggieland for the first football game. This was Maddie's first time to go to an Aggie game (in person).

We started out the day by going to the Quad to hang out at the F-2 tailgate. F-2 was Adam's outfit in the Corps. It was strange pushing a baby in a stroller on the Quad. Boy how things change in 10 years. Between the tailgate and the game my parents picked Maddie and I up and we went to eat at Roadhouse. Of course Maddie spit up on her cute Aggie outfit, so Mimi washed it out in the sink at the restaurant so she could wear it at the game.

Adam hung out on campus and met up with some of his Corps buddies and watched the Corp step off.

At the game Maddie did very well. She ended up sleeping on her Mimi's shoulder for most of the second half of the game.

Sunday we got to eat breakfast with Maddie's cousins, Aunt and Uncle, Honey (grandma) and Papa (grandpa). Visiting Aggieland in the fall is always fun because we get to see all of our family!

Trying to get comfy!

After and hour and a half of moving around in her crib and 'talking' to her toys, she finally fell asleep in this position.

Maddie is 6 months and has her well checkup on Tuesday. I will update with the stats next week. She and I both have had major allergy trouble this week, welcome to Houston! We both went to the doctor yesterday and are feeling much better.

We are headed to the Aggie game this weekend! Whoop! More updates to follow next week.
