Sweet Maddycakes, is a half a year old and growing up way too fast! I honestly cannot believe 6 months have passed! Some days it feels like Maddy has been a part of our family forever and other days it feels like she was just born!
She is so anxious to get moving and be a part of the action. She has been sitting up since a few days after her 5 month birthday. She now sits without support and rarely falls over. She seems much happier now playing on her own as she can see everything that's going. She is also trying hard to move...lunging for toys she wants and pushing off of items with her feet. She seems to be constantly moving and wiggling around. It's crazy how at 6 months old, Maddy already knows the things that are off limits...she is constantly going after our phones and the tv remotes.
Maddy has regressed some in the sleep department. I think the holidays threw her off a little as she slept in different places and her schedule was thrown off. It depends on the night, but she usually has been waking about 1-3 times. It's definitely exhausting as most days she is up and ready for the day by 6:30 am (regardless of how many times she was up at night). We know we'll eventually sleep! She has been going to bed most nights around 6:30 pm. Her naps were much better until this week and now she has started fighting going down.
Maddy has seemed to hit a growth spurt this month and is really chubbing up. She is definitely getting longer and I'm finding a lot of her 3-6 month pants are too short. She is pretty consistently in 6 month and 6-9 month clothes (with a few 3-6 month shirts). She is still in size 2 diapers, but I have a feeling we'll be sizing up here soon.
Food has been a challenge here lately. Maddy doesn't really seem interested, but we continue to try things in hopes that she'll eventually eat. She seems to enjoy the baby mums and we've tried some puffs, but those just get spit out. She is still nursing well and takes the occasional bottle. She seems to eat around 4-4.5 ounces about every 3-4 hours during the day.
Maddy has been quite the Mama's girl here lately. I attribute it to the fact that she has rarely been away from me (with the exception of a few hours here and there). She will usually starting whining when she sees me and wants me to hold her.
She is still so happy and so generous with smiles. She thrives on attention. Maddy LOVES her sisters and is always watching them play or looks for them whenever she hears them. She likes to be a part of whatever they are doing and is already lunging after their toys, clothes and even hair. They both can really get her laughing and it's so sweet to watch them interact.
Here are lots of pictures of our happy little girl (just a few days late).
Happy 6 month birthday, Madelyn Joy!
