Father's Day Weekend

Well, Father's Day weekend wasn't too spectacular around here. Madeline came down with a stomach virus and ended up at the doctor on Thursday. She really wasn't eating and our daycare person said she was crying for mama all morning, so she thought it was best for us to take her home. The doctor wasn't concerned, just said to give her Pedialite and if she came down with a fever, we were supposed to take her to the hospital. Grandma Peggy watched her Friday morning while we went to work. Matt left work early on Friday to watch Maddie for the rest of the day. She's fine now, back at daycare and back to her usual self.


Saturday, since Maddie was feeling better and the weather was so beautiful, we decided to put Maddie in her pool. She loves the bathtub, but the pool took some getting used to. After awhile she was splashing and talking (she now says mama).

This is before...

This is after...

Father's Day wasn't too exciting. Matt came down with the stomach bug that Maddie had, so we just took it easy. Matt got to spend a lot of time with Maddie while I ran errands.

These are for Daddy

Since Daddy up and left us for a week (motorcycle trip with neighbor/friend Sean), it's a Mommy and Me week. She's been doing well...I put Matt on the speaker phone and she just stared at the phone. Matt is able to check email/blog while on his trip, so I promised to post some pictures.


Here's some new pictures Daddy!

Our cat Charlie, loves attention...

...even if it means having fur pulled out by a baby!!

Our friend Sean is updating his blog as he and Matt make their trip. Anyone interested in seeing it can visit his website:

Six Month Check Up

Time has certainly flown by around here. Madeline had her six month check up last Friday. She is now 18 pounds, 14 ounces, and is 26-1/2 inches long. The doctor said that she is doing great. Just one shot in the leg this time, and we were on our way. She was crabby at daycare, but we knew it was due to the shot.
Madeline is also able to start solid foods. We started her on carrots first. The face says it all.

She likes carrots mixed in with her cereal. I tried sweet potatoes with her today and she absolutely loves them. We'll see how she does with the green vegetables later this week!
