Pool time!
It's in the 90's here today, so we decided to bust out the kiddie pool and have Maddie try it out. I didn't really know what to expect. She seemed to enjoy herself, but not as much as when she's in the bath. Next time, I think I'll have to let the water warm up a little more!
She loved her bathing suit. My mom and I are starting to think that her favorite color is blue since she always seems to prefer to grab blue things...so I guess we picked a good suit :)
So excited in anticipation of getting into the pool!
All smiles for pool time!
Sunbathing is awesome, mom!
Nom Nom Nom!

Playing Hookey!
Madeleine got to play hookey from school yesterday. Around 11, I got a call from the school saying there was an area-wide power outage and I needed to come get M. I didn't realize how bad the power outage was until I started driving to daycare and found the street lights were out miles away. The power was also out at my house.
So, I had to call grandma to see if she could watch my munchkin so I could head back to work. Of course she was more than willing to get some extra cuddle time with M, so I dropped her off around noon.
She had lots of fun with grandma, as you can see:
In other news, I think baby might be teething again. She just cut two teeth about a week ago and we're getting all the tell-tale signs again. I guess I'll find out in a few days if any teeth pop through or not!

Toys!!!
We had a bib/dryer mishap in MN which resulted in a number of M's bibs getting melted. So....we made a trip up to BBB today to get some more.
While there, we decided to get M some new toys. In the last week or so, she has really started to master sitting up on her own and become even more interested in her toys. So, we figured we'd get her some toys that were more geared toward sitting up to play with them.
Yep, she's a fan!

6 Month Pictures
As I learned today, the month stickers aren't such a great idea at the 6 month mark...and I'm going to assume after.
This is what Madeleine thought of her sticker...and why we only got a few pictures, lol.
Here are the decent shots we got, sorry they're so late!

6 Month Appointment
Back
from our 6 month appointment! She's 12lb 7oz (2%), 23 1/4" (2%) and a head circ
of 16 1/4" (9%). The ped was absolutely amazed that she's hit every single one
of her 6 month milestones. She actually said she wouldn't have expected that in
her wildest dreams.
My ped and another ped (2nd opinion) both agreed that she does not need a helmet and her head will eventually round out on her own, but that I could talk with Ryan and she'd give us a referral to the specialist at DMC if we wanted to speak with them further about it. I haven't decided yet...I'm going to talk to Ryan. But, my ped showed me a bunch of studies by the University of Michigan that showed with mild positional plagiocephaly by the age of 4 there is really no difference between the kids with our without a helmet.
...Only one area of concern: The crease in one of her thighs is much deeper than the other (asymmetrical) so she wants to keep an eye on it. She said she didn't see it effecting movement or baring weight so she's not concerned, but it's worth watching.
She wants us to try moving her back to the crib to sleep on her belly or side once we are both over our illnesses...that way we can keep her off her head for another 12 hours a day. She also wants us to up her purees to 2-3 times a day since she is doing so well with them. She also said we should start giving her things that are easily mushed up in her mouth and that you wouldn't need molars for in a few weeks.
She did great with her shots. She didn't even react to the first one, but started crying after the second. But she calmed down in about 5 minutes. We'll see how she's feeling after daycare today b/c one shot causes fever in 1 out of 5 babies. And that's all she wrote folks.

As for her 6 month photos, we'll be taking those this weekend and I'll try to post them here as well!
