My 6 month old who thinks she's 12 months old.

Little Matilda Rae was 6 months old as of 12/28 and we went to her 6 month doctor's visit on 1/5. She is officially off the charts (above 95 percentile) for her height at 28" and at the 85 percentile for weight at 18 lbs. She is way ahead of the game being able to pull up and walk holding on to the rail of the crib or edge of the coffee table. She sits up, crawls insanely fast and is eating 2-3 meals a day of solid foods that Mom and Franma make. She loves everything she's tried including sweet potato, avocado, carrots, banana, blueberries, spinach, asparagus, squash, prunes, apple, pear and peaches. She hasn't really slowed down the breast milk drinking much, just added the food. She still has about 5 oz of breast milk every 4 hours or so either from me or a bottle and she is great at switching between the two...no issues there. She also has two teeth that make her look even more adorable- if that is even possible!

Over the weekend we were given a high chair from her Aunt Kelly and she loved eating in it and playing in it. We sat her with some toys and she played happily for about an hour. She loves throwing things on the floor now and the highchair is a perfect place to do that from.

Here are a few pics from this past weekend. It was so beautiful out that we spent lots of time outside:

We took a bike ride and went to the park on the way home to swing:

 Sunday morning Dad made breakfast and he and Mattie danced in the kitchen:

 Lots of good playoff football was on this weekend. Mattie LOVES watching football and assumed her position on the couch for a good 30 minutes straight:

 We went for a walk on the beach to collect shells. Mattie loves the ocean and is so content in her stroller on the beach:

 Mattie won't let me take a pic of her teeth without grabbing my phone! So here is the best one I could get...with her finger on the phone of course. :)

Matilda is so eager and ready to learn and do more. It's so much fun to watch it all happen, but it's happening SO fast! I really think she'll walk in the next few months at this rate...insane.

Eddie and I say every day how lucky we are...we really hit the jackpot with this little lady. :)

More soon...xoxo
