Maggie Charles is 6 months old..

Oh My Goodness.. How is it your half birthday already?
I'm in denial you are 6 months.  I want my last baby to stay little forever.
YOu are growing too fast and getting so big too!
You weigh 17.9 1/2 lbs.  
You are 26 1/4' tall
Your head is 16 1/2 
You are in the 75th percentile for weight and height.  35th percentile for you head.
When we went for your 6 mo. checkup last week you also had a recheck for your ear infection. 
You've had 2 already.. =( but this one was clear so I'm praying you don't get anymore.
You don't have any teeth yet but you are working on some.
You wear a size 3 diaper and you wear mostly 6 months clothes but some 9 mo. too.
You can now sit up by yourself.. you still topple over a little but you have pretty good balance.
You can finally roll over and you are are good at it.
You have started eating solids but your little belly has been having some issues so we're still trying to work it all out.  We've increased your reflux meds so hopefully that will help some too.
You've tried sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, apples and a little carrots.  You weren't crazy about the carrots.
You love your Bumbo and you love to sit up and look around.
Your favorite toy is your Sophie and our little bug rattle.  He always makes you smile.
YOu are drinking anywhere from 5-8 oz of milk. Usually the bigger bottle in the am and night and smaller bottles during the day.  YOu go about every 4 hours.
YOu sleep ok.  Not great.. you go down around 8 and usually get up once in the night.
I'm trying to sleep train you but its hard.
You are not crazy about your bed.. you liked the rock n play so much so we're working on sleeping in your bed for naps and bed.
You are a cat napper. You usually take a am nap for about an hr. and sometimes a lunch nap but usually just an afternoon nap for about 2 hours.
You think your sissy is so funny and you love to laugh at her and just watch her.
She loves to play with you too.
You are chewing on everything and everything goes in your mouth.
YOu love water and drinking out of a cup.
You love to watch Barney and you love Burkleigh's mobile in her bed.
You will just talk and talk to it.
You love your feet and grabbing your toes.
You love when I try to "get you" and you will just laugh and smile.
You are a sweet baby and you are usually always smiling.
Hopefully we can figure out your tummy issues.
one month, two months, three months and four months

 A little comparison..
Here's Burkleigh at 6 months.. she only weighed 14 lbs M is definitely our chunky baby and I love it!
I'm beginning to see some similarites in them but M looks a lot like me and my niece Hannah.
