6 Months Old

Ok so a little late but here are her 6 months pictures (taken at 6 months). She is keeping up with her weight at 75% and height 95%. As you can see she is sitting up really well now. Not really any attempts at crawling but she gets around a little on her tummy. Madison is loving sitting up and being able to see everything, riding in the grocery cart has been a fun change for her.

She is now caring more about who is holding her and aware of people around her. I have to say it is a little wierd being the one that can fix anything. I am so used to passing off the crying baby, and not the one being passed the baby because she wants me. So many new things and Mike and I are enjoying seeing her learn and change everyday.

More camping pictures

Top picture is Madison at the dunes reaching for the camera.

Next one Mike and my family went on a dune ride out by Lake Michigan. Madison stayed back with my mom.

Next one is me and Madison ready to try the water. It ended up being to cold but we had to try.

Next is my nephew Austin and me the first day of our camping trip.

Then there is me and Mike relaxing by the fire.

Silver Lake

We went camping with my family for 4 nights at Silver Lake. The sand dunes were alot of fun and Madison had a good time riding on daddy's back. The weather was perfect, just right for climbing dunes but a little cool for the kids swimming. We rode on a dune ride which was lots of fun and went to a light house. I will post more pics of everything. Madison did really good, she got a little bored without her big toys. But she slept good and as long as there was something going on she was happy. We hope to do this every year, which will be lots of fun. There were litterally no bugs, which was sooooooo nice.

Lots of sitting by the fire and eating food. We feel a little large now but we had a great time.

Madison's first 4th of July. Waiting for the fireworks to start. We went to a park in Holland to watch the fireworks. Mike was on call for work so we weren't able to go to the cottage for our normal festivities. It was way past her bedtime but she did really good waiting over an hour for them to start. Once they started she just stared at them the whole time. She had a cute outfit, even some red, white and blue flip flops. Such a spoiled little girl :)

She is now 4 months old, here are some pictures of her first cereal. She wasn't sure about it at first but she is doing much better now. (The marks on her face are from her sunglass'. ) She is getting so big and learning new things constantly. I'll have to add some pictures of her standing. Which has been her favorite for about a month now.

Madison's first stay in a hotel. We went to Colubus Ohio for Mike's sister Kari's wedding. She looks so comfy.

Chillin in daddy's guitar case :) Another cute 3 month picture.
