Madeline is Six Months Old!

Bright and early Friday morning, Madeline had her 6 month check-up with Dr. Reed.  Unfortunately because of my sinus infection and Madeline's double-ear infection, we've been there a lot lately.  At least this time was a healthy visit.  I still insisted that we wait in the "sick" waiting area; luckily it was super early and we were the only ones there, so we're hoping it was relatively germ-free.  The nurse called us back, weighed Madeline (20 lb. 12 oz. - She's a chunker!!), then brought us in an exam room.  Mommy laid Madeline on the table and the nurse drew some lines by her feet and her head.  I think she was trying to see how tall Madeline is (28 inches!), but all I could think of were those black lines are great roads for garbage trucks and recycle trucks!! 

So while we were waiting to see Dr. Reed, Mommy helped me draw some trucks on those roads!  (Mommy always has crayons in her bag!)  And if you look closely enough in the bottom right corner (in green, it's kind of light), you'll see that I wrote my name.  I do it almost completely by myself with just a little guidance from Mommy.  But for not even being three years old, I think I do pretty well!


Here's my big six-month old baby sister!  I love her so much, and she loves me too!  She's growing so fast!  Dr. Reed says she's doing very well - very healthy and happy!


When Dr. Reed put on her stethescope, I said "Oh, I want to hear Madeline's heart beep!"  So she put it on my ears so I could try.  Then she said I'm "Dr. William"!
