Mackenzie is 6 months old

SIX MONTHS! Wow...

Mackenzie had her six month check up and the doctor says she looks great! The nurse was very impressed with her "lower body strength" - probably because while we were trying to keep Mackenzie on the table, she was trying to roll over and scoot away! She was in a wonderful mood right up until she got those awful shots!

Mackenzie - you were such a big girl at the doctor's office today! You took the shots like a champ and although you cried pretty hard during the shots and for about a minute afterward, you stopped crying without any assistance from a bottle or your silkie (can you believe Mommy forgot that at home?!?!?!). You snuggled with me for a few minutes while trying to catch your breath and would let out a little whimper every once in a while. Then we got in the car seat and went to Mommy's office to meet Daddy where you were all smiles!

You weigh 17 pounds, 13.5 ounces and you are 2 feet and 1 inch long! :) The doctor said you are very healthy and hitting all of the milestones for your age like passing objects from one hand to the other (check!), rolling over both ways (check! check!), sitting up with support (check! Plus an extra check! for sitting up by yourself these days!!), standing with help from Mommy & Daddy (check!), and trying to crawl (check!)! You have had a runny nose for a while now and the doctor said that it's fine to keep up with the suctioning and the saline drops. You also have the green flag to move on to stage 2 solid foods - yay!!

We are so proud of you, Mackenzie and we love you sooo much!

Love,
Mommy & Daddy
