Happy 6 months, Madelyn Mae

Madelyn celebrated her 6 month birthday yesterday! Can't believe how fast time has gone by.
We had her well baby visit yesterday - she is 14 pounds and 27 inches long! Tall and slender!
Poor girl has been fighting a cold/cough/runny nose for 3 weeks, had hand, foot and mouth disease last week and developed thrush over the weekend, so she was put on some antibiotics to treat those things. Hopefully she'll feel better soon.
You'd never know she was sick, though. The smiles and giggles just keep coming. :)

Sick baby

For the past 3 weeks, little Madelyn has been fighting a cold. She's had a cough for 2 weeks and last week was diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease and was home from daycare for 2 days. This weekend I'm pretty sure she started showing signs of thrush, so she was home again from daycare. We have her 6 month well baby visit tomorrow, so hopefully she'll get some treatment.

Kids either get sick now in daycare or later in school. Let's hope she'll get it all over with now and be healthy overall in the future.

Despite the runny nose, cough and mouth illnesses, her mood is still happy and playful.

Here are some photos from the weekend:

Grandpa stayed with us Thursday and Friday and he and Madelyn had a great time together.




He loves to take her picture!


Playful little girl
