Well, Madi had her 6 month appointment today. She is 17.5 pounds (73rd percentile) and 26 3/4" long (82 nd percentile). She got her shots, which she isn't happy about. She cried, but was a champ and I just dropped her off at School. She has some trouble with her ears. We have to give her a medicine in hopes of clearing up her ears. If it doesn't work, she may need tubes put in, but the Dr said we had a few options before that. I feel good that this medicine plus antibodies from my breastmilk will work. She is growing perfectly.
Madi was doing well with her check up. Then she had enough of the probing and started to get MAD!!! Dr Thompson thought that was a cool personality trait of hers.....She is totally laid back mellow and takes alot of guff, but she has a breaking point. When you cross that...look out. She is a fire cracker. Hmm sounds alot like Me. I thought that was kind of cool that other people other than Jason and I are able to see her personality now.
She is a quiet, inquistive observer (like Jason). She has little patience with others (like Jason). She wants it her way or no way at all (like Jason and Me). When she wants something she wants it now!! (alot like me too). She loves the water and being naked (I hope she grows out of this) and hates to have her PJ's put on. She pees on me anytime I change her diaper, but doesn't with anyone else. I think it a game she likes to play with me. She fights sleep, I think because she doesn't want to miss anything. She giggles when I play Peek-a-boo with her and loves it when Daddy rubs her head - she WILL fall asleep to this.
She has grown into her feet, but not her ears. She makes me laugh and my heart smile. I have enjoyed the past 6 months (sleepless nights, and all) and look forward to all the other precious and unpredictable adventures that lay before us.
P.S. I will post a picture when i get home tonight.
Madi rolled over 6 times today. The schools ar closed from the snow so Madi stayed with Jason today. She finally rolled over on her own. I haven't seen it yet, but tonight she and I will play and maybe i will get to see it. She talks up a storm now and ba ba's and auugahh auuaahh all the time. She squeals also too, which she is starting to do right this minute. I better go. I will post again soon
okay, Jason, my mom and I painted the livingroom, diningroom and stairs. I couldn't really find before pics to compare to, but for those of you who don't remember to don't know, all the walls were a highgloss cream color with an odd light green hugh to it. This view is coming from the kitchen into the livingroom. What do you all think of the red curtains. At first I didn't like them, but they are growing on me. Take the poll or let me know what you think
THis is looking from our downstairs bedroom/office. Off to the left is the diningroom
Here is the diningroom. See Madi's little shoes on the table. To the left will be our stairs
Here's my girl. We are doing well. It has been a while since our last post. Since then we have painted our livingroom. It came our AWESOME. My mom came over and helped Madi and I paint. We tried a new environmentally conscious paint at homedepot. I was the first person in Spokane to try this stuff. It is amazing. I couldn't smell any fumes. It has no VOC's which means I can paint with Madi in the room. Even pregnant women can paint with this stuff. It is a bit pricy, but I felt it worth it since my house doesn't stink like paint. I found a used kitchen aid mixer that I picked up for $125. I am totally excited to use it for the first time. Speaking of excited. I am excited for taxes this year - yea for having a baby. We are going to try to remodel the kitchen with our tax return. We will see though. Depends on how expensive we make this remodel and how much we get back, stay tuned. Madi has rolled over, but I haven't seen it yet. SHe is getting stronger and bigger every day. She giggles so much. SHe is still not sleeping through the night, but I am pretty used to that by now. I will post pics of the updated livingroom when we have the details finished. Good to be back on the blog. I will try to post a bit more frequently now.
Nicky came up to Spokane this weekend. We hung out at our house on Saturday night . We made a giant yummy salad then giant ice cream sundays. We played with Madilyn and watched transformers. It was really great hanging out with Mom and Nicky. Then Sunday we went to Mom's house and visited. She is making pancakes right now as we speak. 
Nicky fed Madi her dinner.
Grandma is a hoot!!

NIcky says Mommy and I look so much alike
I am plyaing with a frog, mommy thinks this pic is so cute.
