6 Months with Madison!

I'm a little behind, in getting this post up.  But Madison is now 6 months old!  And that is a BIG deal!!!  Only 6 more months, until my little monkey is a whole year old!!  But for now lets focus on the fun things that comes with 6 months.

*Madison loves to blow raspberries, and she doesn't have the slobber under control though.  You will usually get sprayed with slobber if you are in a 5 feet radius of her :)

*She scrunches up her little nose when she smiles now.

*She loves to "fly" and "jump."

* Squeals and squeaks are a part of her regular vocabulary.

*She has been eating rice cereal is a champ, and is going to start eating veggies soon.  Although meal time usually is followed by a bath.  She tries to eat her hands AND the cereal.  Then she'll rub her face with her grubby hands and get cereal ALL over her face.  I LOVE IT!  I know it's messy, but it's just too cute, not to love it.

*Bed time has become a bit of a challenge as of late :(  We just recently switched from her bassinet to her crib.  And oh man it's not going so smooth.  She likes to sleep on her tummy.  She always starts on her back, but about 5 minutes later she flips over.  And after about a week of fighting her I finally realized that she can flip from back to front and front to back.  She has enough strength in her neck to move if she needs to.  Well when she's on her stomach she scoots forward and side to side, she hasn't mastered the art of scooting backwards.  So she will scoot her way all the way to the top of the crib and get stuck there.  And eventually bonks her head on the slates of the crib.  Thus waking her up, screaming.  And then I wake up.  She has never had a problem sleeping through the night.  So this is a new experience for me.  I hope we can work through it, and quickly :)

* She has finally found her toes, and they are regularly in her hand, when she isn't on her tummy.

It is so much fun to have her around.  I love watching her grow and turn into an awesome person.  She is still a Daddy's girl, and doesn't want much to do with me when Tyler is home.  But that's ok, she needs time with her Daddy too.  I can't wait to see what the next 6 months hold!
