Thoughts from mom.

Madeline had her 6 month check up and she is growing big and strong. Her pediatrician loves watching her progress, she thinks Madeline has just about the biggest blue eyes and smile she's seen in a long time. Of course her parents agree.

She weighs in at 20.5 lbs and 28 inches long. She's in the 97th percentile.

I typically like to reward her with a new toy or outfit after her check-ups...after getting poked, measured and having shots, she deserves it. I know she doesn't know the difference now but someday she will.

Buying clothes for this little angel is difficult. I love Carters brand, it fits her well, and she's wearing the 12 month size in that brand. Target is always good for some cheap buys, but unfortunately I struggle to find anything that fits her anymore. I think it's the lack of selection in what I want; cotton, cotton and more cotton. She's a wiggle worm and so fluffy dresses and whatnot are simply not practical for her, but cotton pants, onesies, and t-shirts are perfect! The other day I went to put on something other than her footsie pajamas and I found that each outfit she has for winter is now too small. She has her 6 month photos on Saturday afternoon, after we're done there, I think we're going to do some much needed shopping at the Albertville Outlets. I can't wait! Maybe we'll have a fashion show afterwards?
