Happy Half Birthday, Maddie

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Andi

Our baby girl is 6 months old! I can’t believe how fast she is growing up! But at the same time I am so excited for her to get older. She gets more fun every day.

Maddie was 14.15 lbs. and 27.25″ long. She is still very long and thin for her age. Her growth charts make me laugh. She also got a couple more immunization shots and was a good sport! She only cried for a few seconds, then was happy again. The doctor’s office also sent us away with a little fabric book for her. It’s cheap for them to do, but the parents like it! And it kept her happy after her shots while I made her next appointment (which will be at 9 months old).

Maddie has learned lots this month. She has gotten very good at sitting on her own. I still put a pillow behind her because she has a tendency to flail her body when she gets really exciting and fall backward. And she sometimes takes nose dives, too. I laugh at her. Smile

And of course, she is also army crawling all over the place. She is speedy! It’s so cute to see her mobile. She will crawl into the kitchen to “help” me and she likes to bang things on the wood floors.

She has learned that she can reach for me. Therefore, she has started to be a little clingy these days. But I think part of the clinginess is because she is close to getting her bottom teeth. I feel like we have been waiting forever! The doctor told us at her 4 month appointment that she could feel her teeth and now, at 6 months, they still aren’t in. Oh well. They will come eventually. And won’t she be cute with a couple little teeth!? Smile

Maddie has started eating solid food. On August first, a few weeks shy of her 6 month birthday, we started rice cereal. So far, she has also tried pears, green beans, carrots and bananas. She is a great little eater and says “mmmm” while she eats. She even helps and grabs the spoon and shoves it in her mouth.

Here are some pictures I took. These pictures are getting much harder to take. Maddie doesn’t like being in her crib because she thinks it’s time to sleep. So getting her to play in there isn’t easy. And she doesn’t sit still for even a minute! So I keep getting lots of action shots!

A little note: I put all the pictures I take of Maddie, for example, between 5 and 6 months, in the 5 month album. So there are lots more pictures there to look at from her previous month. Basically, it’s the pictures I took of her while she was _x_ months old. Just an FYI.

Here are the 6 month pictures I took.

5 month pictures & 5 month post

4 month pictures & 4 month post

3 month pictures & 3 month post

2 month pictures & 2 month post

1 month pictures & 1 month post

I also have a few more posts for the next couple days with some silly pictures of Maddie. So stay tuned! Smile

This little fishy friend is at the kids’ doctor’s office. He’s the friendliest little guy and just swims right up to you. Maddie named him Spiky and wanted to bring him home. 🐡
Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the 💯th day of school. This is a big deal in kindergarten and also a big deal in general. We have done 100 days of DL at our new school. These teachers have been amazing and our kids have done an great job. We are so proud of them. Not everyday is easy, not everyday is fun, but an end is in sight.

We decided we are sending them back to school in April for the 4th quarter. Although I’ll probably cry to say goodbye to these teachers, I’m so excited for my kids to be IN their new school and make some new friends and feel like part of the Hilltop family.😁

This was a really quick book that I listened to re This was a really quick book that I listened to recently. It had been on my list for a while. I found this book to be comical right from the beginning because these three little black girls are being shipped across the country to live with a mother who left them. I realize this book took place in 1968 and things were very different then, but it just felt too unrealistic. Their mother is part of the Black Panthers and really doesn’t want anything to do with her girls. The girls spend the summer hanging out with Black Panther members and basically caring for themselves. By the end of their trip, they realize they did need this trip and it was a good experience. 

The book ended somewhat abruptly and that is possibly because there are more books in the series. I think it was interesting to read about how different life was in the late 60s and I am impressed their trip went as well as it did. Then again, it’s just a book, so really, you can make anything happen in a book that you want. It doesn’t have to be believable. I would agree with the title, these girls had a very crazy summer.

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
