Big Kid!

On Monday Mady finally had her 6 month check up. She weighed 20 lbs 15.5 oz (let's just call that an even 21 lbs shall we?) and is 29 inches long. For those of you who care, Sydney, who was not exactly a feather weight, was 22.5 lbs and 29.5 inches long at 12 months. How did Mady get so big? I mean, I realize her genetics are completely against her on this, but really!
Isn't she so cute and happy? I love it.
Oh, and look who's finally big enough to hold her own bottle! Hooray!

She's pretty anti all "solid" food right now, so we're very happy that she's learned to maneuver her own appendages and put them to good use, freeing ours to chase Cyclone Sydney around the house a little more. Thanks sweetie.

Quick story: Sydney and I were sharing a little treat tonight which made her night. She kept saying, "I like this!" and , "I hold it!" quite nicely. But wouldn't you know, as soon as Mady started fussing, Sydney practically dropped her dessert and got off my lap saying, "Mady, sad." She ran over to her baby sister and started making funny noises that always make Mady smile. She did this twice. Oh, how I love my sweet girls. Maybe they really will be best friends. So far, so good. You couldn't ask for a better big sister than that. Believe me, I know. I didn't get up that fast...

Mom told me she was 29 pounds & 29 inches. Sounds like she got confused on the pounds. Still, she is a healthy baby! Cute how Syd makes Mady happy! Love it!
