2nd set of shots, teething, and so much more.

Madelyn is now 4.5 months (19 weeks) old. We had a doctor appointment one week ago and Madelyn weighed 16 lbs. and was 26 inches long. The doctor guessed that she would be about 5'9" according to her graph and percentile. Interesting. She told us to begin with step 1 baby foods. So we started with green beans. Madelyn liked them at first then by the end of the trial week she was gagging every time they hit her mouth...basically the same thing that Ryan does when he eats green beans. We moved on to peaches today and that was a very unsuccessful journey. The face she makes is priceless.
She changes every single day. She is starting to laugh a lot and all she wants to do is stand up and walk all over the house obviously with my support. I was getting tired of holding her hands so now she flies all over the house in the walker that the Easter Bunny brought her. In fact, at our last Doctor appointment we were told to start "babyproofing" the house because it's going to come fast.

Out of the baby tub and into her big girl tub. What a change! She loves splashing and watching her rubber ducky. Below is a video of her first bath!

Madelyn always has a fist in the mouth and is gnawing. We are working so hard on those teeth. We had a much better week than last week.

It's so hard to watch my baby get bigger and bigger but we are enjoying every single second with her. She enjoys listening to books, going for long walks, her puppy, eating, and gurgling her milk in her throat.

We are definatly loving this Spring weather!
