6 month stats!

Madelyn had her 6 month checkup today! She weighs 17lbs 9oz and is 27 in long. (75-90 percentile for weight, just under 90 for height.) She had to get THREE shots today. Thank God Mitch showed up because I do not do shots. It kills me to watch her in pain. The first one was ok, the second one she got a little more pissed, and by the third she was screaming bloody murder. Plus with the third one, the nurse apparently hit a vein so my poor baby kept bleeding! Our ped also suggested we start giving her table food. Um...what? She's got two teeth. I'm putting that off for a while. But anyway, she went down for her evening nap at 3, and by 5 she was STILL asleep. She never sleeps that long in the evening! So I woke her up, gave her a bath, we played a little bit, she had a bottle, and then she was crying to go to sleep again! I hate it when she gets shots. She's so not herself. So anyway an hour after she woke up from her nap she was in bed. I hope she's down for the night. OH! Something else she did today! We were at the doctor's waiting on the nurse to come give her shots, and Maddy was playing on her tummy on the exam table making all kinds of noise with the paper...and all of a sudden she was on all fours in the crawl position!!!!!!! She's never done that before!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!

So anyway, things are still going great as far as getting started with school. I swear, the people at DeVry are THE most helpful people. At UNO you couldn't pay a financial aid person to spend 2 seconds on the phone with you. With DeVry they send you a step by step process and its so easy to follow, they follow up with you on everything, but the best part is that THEY do most of the work!! As far as getting transcripts from HS and college and everything...they do all that! That's the worst part I think! So I'm very happy with my decision so far.

Today I had to go over and let my neighbor's dog out to potty since she went on a weekend trip to Mobile. (and I'm not jealous AT ALL....blah.) I went over and opened the door and he had the saddest look on his face, so I took him home with me! He was much happier after that, he and Queso played and then Maddy went down for a nap so we all took a nap on the couch. hahaha. When we woke up, I took him back to his house so he could eat and he cuddled up on a blanket on his couch so I left him there. But, I borrowed a book while I was over there....Baby Laughs by Jenny McCarthy. HILARIOUS. I read it in like 3 hours. Go read it mommies! You will really get a kick out of it!

Well since my baby abandoned me so early tonight, me and the doggy are gonna go lay in bed and catch up on the DVR. Here's a few pics before I go sink into bed.

This is what my husband does when he is supossed to be pressure washing the house. He "pressure washed" Mitch <3's Lyndsay onto the dirty wall...LOL. I'm still considering divorce since he took the entire one gallon container of chocolate ice cream to work though...

Playing with mommy! She's the most beautiful baby I swear!

Then apparently mommy got boring because she wanted to watch TV upside down.

This was taken by Aunt Savannah at a rose garden in Natchez. Although I'm pretty sure those were genetically enhanced mutant roses because they were HUGE! Someone worked really hard to grow those things and here I am letting my kid paw all over them. =)
