Six Months!

Mattie is SIX months OLD!!! I can't believe it! My sweet little baby girl's first year is already half way over. She is such a delight, she truly is. She is a happy, sweet and funny girl :)

At her check-up the doctor wrote on her page, "Beautiful, happy, thriving young lady." Everything checked out perfect - she was even a good girl for her shots. She is 26 1/2 inches long (85th percentile) and weighed 15 pounds, 15 ounces (50th percentile), and her head was 51st percentile.

We celebrated her birthday with a fun weekend (pictures coming soon) and she got to eat rice cereal for the first time tonight. I am not really sure how much she swallowed. She mostly seemed interested in teething on the spoon. Hopefully more will go down tomorrow!

Awaiting the first bite.
What is this mom?


Yummy mess!

51% in head size? Seems she must not take after her Dad!

We are both lucky and grateful for how healthy Matelyn is!

Love you,
Dad
