Six Months

Happy girl!
Madison is growing like a weed. We haven't gone in for her 6 month appointment yet, but when we weighed her ourselves she was 19.5. Yep, I've got myself a nice big baby. We can't get enough of her! At six months she is sitting up by herself and crawling. She still only has 2 teeth for which I am very thankful. They are two very sharp teeth.
She is such a great baby. We have had a crazy March and April is going to be just as fun. The beginning of the month Madison and I drove to Idaho Falls to spend a week with my family. My grandfather passed away and we attended the funeral and stuck around for a few days. We had a great time but, as always, it was hard to say good-bye. A week after we got back Jay's parents came to visit. We had a great time with them and Madison is going through grandparent withdrawls. She still loves books. She has a room full of toys but if she sees books or paper she will drop all her exciting toys and head for the books. We love that she has a love for books. Its great when the whole family (all 3 of us) are sitting around reading from our books at the same time.

She has recently found a love for big people food. She found some play food at my parents house and played with it for so long that I decided I should "borrow" some it so she could play with it at home. We've taken it with us to restaurants just so we can see what people say when we hand our 6 month old a hamburger and potato chips.

We pretty much just think she is a doll. She had just taken her sunglasses off in this picture.
Madison has made a few friends in our ward. This is her best friend Hailey. The adore each other. Hailey likes to carry Madison around and Madi thinks its great that she gets to play with the big kids. She has already had her first sleep over with Hailey and I am sure there are many more to come.
