6 months and sitting!

I can't believe how fast she is growing up! I feel like with each child I want to hold on to that baby stage for so much longer but somehow they just keep growing and they are no longer new baby anymore. Madelyn is already 6 months old!! She has made some new milestones this past few weeks and the video only shows you one of them. She is now on solid foods and loves anything pretty much mixed with rice cereal but isn't too crazy about anything straight out of the jar. She is obviously sitting up and doing even better then the video shows you. AND....she is almost crawling....as in moving forward and pushing up on all fours and rocking and actually getting to whatever object that she is trying to reach!!! AHHHH!! CraZY! Why is it that my children are the ones that have to be mobile so soon?...why can't I have that baby that is perfectly content just sitting there until they are a year old?! Oh well, I should have known because she has always been so alert and so active and strong since she was born...very much like her older brother! She loves to stand up on my lap and is starting to babble more and has a new sound, "Ba-ba-ba". She loves bathtime and just splashes and kicks her legs and listens to her voice as she laughs and babbles in the bath. She is sleeping soundly through the night from 7pm to sometime around 7 or 8 am! and she also is taking two great naps during the day! She really is such a good baby!! She is all smiles and happy even when she is tired or hungry! I couldn't ask for a better baby!! We just love and adore her sooooo much!!

These pics are of Kali and Madelyn one afternoon. I turned and found Kali wrapping up Madelyn in the blanket she was playing on. It was really cute and Madelyn just loves her big sister. Kali just can't get enough of her baby Madelyn! Fun times!
