Yesterday we took Madelyn to the doctor for what we thought was chest congestion & coughing. The doctor said it is not in her lungs (thank God) but is in her throat. She told us to put a phone book under the matress so Madelyn will sleep kind of propped up and keep using the humidifier. She also had a small fever (100.7) & they just said to keep an eye on that. Last night after some Tylenol it was 98, so it seems like she is doing fine. Hopefully her cough will clear up soon.

This weekend is the 4th of July and we will be having a pool party/picnic with family, so that should be fun. The weekend after that is Caitlin's birthday party and the following weekend is Dan's work summer picnic! Looks like we are going to have a fun filled couple of weekends ahead of us!

Almost 6 months old already!!
Over the last couple of weeks Madelyn got to meet her brother, Austin, who came in for a nice visit. She also has now tried rice cereal, peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, bananas and apples. The only thing she has eaten with any great interest is the peas, the rest she does not seem to like very much. We are continuing to try the foods though and hopefully she will start to like them more soon. Madelyn has also started playing a lot more with toys. A couple weeks ago she was shaking a rattle and whacked herself in the face and then started screaming! Her reaction was pretty funny. She also likes to be in her jumperoo and spin around playing with the toys on it. She can hold her balance and sit up for a while if you put her in a sitting position, but it will be a while before she can pull herself up to sit, although she will grab your fingers and try to pull herself up from a laying position. It is absolutely amazing to watch her grow. She also loves to sit and coo & babble - the girl definitely has a lot to say! She has also started teething…will update the blog as soon as her first tooth makes it's appearance! She is a really good baby and has been sleeping through the night for quite a while now. The other night she woke up at around 3 am though. She wasn't crying or fussing, but I could hear her kicking the bars of her crib so I got up to check on her. As soon as she saw me she started smiling, sticking out her tongue & kicking her little legs…she really thought it was time to play! She is a little sweet heart & that little smile can make all my worries disappear :-)
