Addie's getting big!

Hello All,

We just went to Addie's 6 mon. check-up. Trav picked Addie up from daycare and met me at the doctors office. Addie was just talking away and so happy...until we took her out of the carseat. She had a massive blow out. I decided not to change her till we got into the doctors room. It was just awful! The poop had exploded out of every side of her diaper. We ended up getting poop all over the place and the exam table. The nurse was very nice and helped clean up everything. Oh the fun of blow outs!

Our doctor is very pleased with her!! As always, Dr. Brandt is so fun because she loves to see Addie and gushes over her. We really like seeing her. Addie weighs just under 17 lbs and is 26 inches long. Trav & I had a bet going with her height and weight. Trav got her inches & I was closest with her weight...so we split the results. Addie only had to get 3 shots today and 1 oral vaccine. That was great because I thought she was getting 5 shots. To top it off, Addie only cried for about 30 seconds. She started to cry right away when she got the first prick and then stopped. She started to process what happened and then cried again for a couple seconds. All in all she did a great job today.

Addie has been developing really well too. She can just about sit all by herself. She only needs a little bit of support here and there. She's starting to get some good tummy muscles, although she's a little wobbly. Addie is also enjoying being an adventurous eater. Some of her favorite foods right now include Avocados, Sweet Peas and Sweet potatoes. We've gotten the go ahead to start giving her a sippy cup. We'll start that right after I get home from my next trip.

I'll be headed down to Alabama again next week. This will be Addie's first week long stay with her Grandparents. We're excited to see how she does. It'll be a good test for us and for her. For all of you back home in Wisconsin, give Ron & Sue a call. I'm sure they expect to get some visitors to see the babe. We'll be ending the week by going to Oma & Opa's anniversary party.

Until next time,
Love Trav, Tiff & Addie
