6 Months

Last week I took Addie in for her six month check up. I was almost sure the doctor was going to ask me what the heck I had been feeding my kid. I could have sworn Addie was going to be at least 20 lbs. To my suprise she was 16 lbs 15 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. So in reality she was only a pound heavier then Taylor was at this age, which I think it might all be in Addie's head. She is off the charts on her head measurement. You know your baby has a big head when the nurse has to measure it three times just to make sure it is right. However, I still don't understand how in the world she can gain any weight. She spits up so much that you would think that she would be losing pounds not gaining. The good news is that she is such a happy baby all the time. Once she got over her colic stage we were good to go. Here are a few of Addie's favorite things.

1- Sweet Potatoes (Which I hate because it always makes her have a massive blow out later, but you can't not give it to her. It would be like taking candy away from me and that is just not right.)

2- Daddy (Addie loves her Dad. She smiles so big for him and just loves to snuggle up on his chest everynight before bed.)

3- Taylor (Addie thinks that Taylor is the funniest thing ever. Taylor can make her laugh more then anyone. The funny thing is when I try to do the same thing to make her laugh, Addie just looks at me like I am crazy.)

4-Blanket (Grandma Carlson made Addie a blanket that has the really soft bumpy things on the back of it. It is kind of hard to explain, but Addie would not be able to go to bed without being wrapped in it.)

5- Sleep (As I have blogged before she loves to sleep. She has started to wake up a little earlier lately, but who am I to complain even 9:00 pm to 9:30 am works for me.)

6- Taylors Dora Chair (Taylor got this chair from her grandma for her birthday, and I think Addie sits in it more then Taylor does. But of course Tay doesn't care because it is her baby sister. Addie just thinks that she is so big in that chair.)
