Madison - 6 months old

Madison is 6 months old today! I can't believe our little baby is growing up so fast.At 6 months these are precious memories from our day to day life:

* wakes up around 7 ish am
* does not sleep thru the night (we're preparing for "sleep camp" any day now)
* still sleeps in her bassinet in mommy & daddy's room
* wears size 3-6 month and 6 month clothes, size 2 shoes, and size 1-2 diapers
* loves to smile at her big sister and pull her hair
* says "goy, goy, goy" when you put her pacifier in her mouth
* can put her own pacifier in her mouth
* is a total mommy's girl
* breastfeeds 5-6 times a day
* eats 2 huge bowls of cereal a day (rice or oatmeal)
* rolls over from tummy to back (almost back to tummy)
* sits pretty well with the support of the boppy
* favorite activity is playing in the walker
* enjoys playing with her toes and occasionally chewing on them
* likes to scream and squeal
* loves to hold on to something when she is sleeping
* takes 2 naps a day (at home)
* does not nap on the go - she must be awake (doesn't want to miss a thing)
* still loves to be carried in the bjorn
