I love going to the checkups...where they weigh and measure...and somehow surmise how they're doing compared to everyone else. In her case, she's in the 90th percentile...which is perfectly fine! (Brooklyn was off the charts until her 2 year checkup!) With each child I get to hear more new things...I take the good, leave the bad, you know how it is. This time it was bottle feedings. He said she shouldn't be drinking so much formula any more...just baby food, rice cereal, and water. He said formula is great...but just not as much! What? Did I miss something here. Some of my baby's didn't even start eating baby food until 9 months! I just had to smile and nod. (Something Phil would never be able to do.) I just figure...I've had 5 flipping kids...somehow they all survived and didn't become obese by being fed formula instead of water. I guess this change is no different than the sleeping positions. When I had Brooklyn, she was to only be put on her tummy for bedtime...Boston and Paris it was on their sides...Madison and Seattle...on their backs!! I think as a mom...you just figure out what makes you feel most comfortable!
Some new things she's figured out recently:
She's been getting up on her hands and knees for about a month now, but would fall forward like an inch worm if she wanted to go forward. (It was nice because she didn't really move very fast this way.) However; like all good things, this has come to an end! She's been crawling around for the past week or so and can now go from crawling to sitting up! She's been frustrated with this for a while, not being able to transition from one to the other, but she's finally got it down! This morning, I laid her down in front of the t.v. with a bottle (shh don't tell her Dr.) and within minutes she was over by my stairs! Wake up call! Had to pull out the trusty gate! Madison was just as disappointed as I was. (The stairs are her gateway to the never ending snacks she finds in the pantry.)
She's getting more spoiled...when she wants to be held or cuddled, she will stop at nothing, until it happens! She goes from thoroughly p'd off...to totally sweet mid scream! It's really something! During the day Madison keeps her busy and "acts" silly to get her to laugh! They both seem to love the attention! When the older kids get home Boston loves to play with her and make her laugh too! It's one of the first things he does as soon as he's home! Paris is still her second "mommy"and smothers her every chance she gets...a lot of love there...sometimes a little too much. Brooklyn is great to have around when showers or dinners are needed! 
This was the cutest picture...then I noticed she blinked!! Oh well...I love the "chubbiness" on her elbow!

I love her chubby thighs! She looks like Phil in that last photo.
what a cutie! she looks a lot like Boston, I think!
She is so cute! :-) I love babies! It is funny that you mention the sleeping thing. I have slept all my boys on their tummies! I figured we all survived. It was just something that I never shared with my doctors. They probably would have called CPS on me or something, ha ha! They all had colic and it was the only way to get them to sleep. I never had to mess with them having flat spots on their heads either. :-) She is adorable!
She is the cutest! I wish we lived nearer so I could actually see her!! And of course the rest of the fam!
I actually like that last one - too funny! She's such a cute, smiley girl.
And cute outfits, too, Mom!
She's so adorable! I'm still laughing at all the doctor comments =) You're the expert mother of five!
What a little cutie! These last 6 months have flown by. She is looking like Madison to me now.
