~Madeline hit the 6 month mark almost 2 weeks ago. Can it really be that my sweet little newborn is already half a year old. Wow it has flown by. She is doing really well. Eating like a champ and growing like a weed. She had her 6 month check up a few weeks ago. She weighed in at 17lbs 3 oz and measured 27 1/4 inches. Delia weighed 18lbs 10oz and measured 27 1/4 inches when she was that age. WOW! Delia was my little chunky monkey for sure.
~Madie is talking a lot more. Making more consonent sounds like DaDa....which of course isn't actually her calling Jake DaDa...but he insists she is. :)
~Madie has two teeth now. She got her first one the day after Thanksgiving and then 6 days later she got her second. And she hasn't drooled ONCE! I just realized the other day that she isn't a drooler. I had to put bibs on Delia every day because she drooled so much that her clothes would get soaked. I probably changed her bibs 2 or 3 times a day. So strange!
~Jake has been working overtime since the 1st. He's been working 12+ hour days and working Saturdays as well. It hasn't been easy for us girls...especially Delia. Only seeing her Daddy for an hour each day doesn't make for a happy camper! He will be working overtime up until Christmas. And then he gets the rest of the month off....and hopefully the rumors about working overtime til March won't come true. It is hard for me to not complain especially when I know that the extra money is a HUGE blessing right now. I suppose I'm just getting tired of eating every meal without him and only conversating with a 3.5 year old that more times than not is pretending to be a baby and an actually baby that can't do more than babble.
~Last weekend my mom and I had a craft show in her garage. It went fairly well. Although I didn't personally sell much the experience was fun none the less. I also didn't have a chance to make much. Between the girls, keeping the house "clean" and (maybe) showering everyday I don't have much time on my hands. I am thinking about selling the rest of my stuff on Etsy. For those of you who don't know Etsy is a site to buy and sell all things handmade. Stay tuned for that.
Well I think that is all the updates for now. There really isn't much going on here.
Here are a few pictures of Delia when she was 6 months old and a few current pictures of Madeline.........what do you think? I get mixed reactions from people. Some say they look exactly alike while others aren't sure. Most people say that Madie definetly looks like a Talley. So I'm quessing then that Delia looks like my side? I'll have to dig up some pictures of me when I was little so we can compare.
Madeline at 6 months
One things is for sure............they both are super duper CUTE!Happy Holidays!
