Bring On The Veggies

Hello friends! My mom has been telling me for awhile now, that when I turned 5 months old she was going to give me something special. Well......last week was the big 5 month milestone and guess what....I got to try veggies!!! I started out with green beans. My mom and dad were convinced that I was not going to like them, but boy-oh-boy, those things were GREAT!!! The first bite was a little rough, but I wound up eating the entire jar and I didn't understand why they wouldn't give me more after it was all gone. I grabbed that container, held it up as high as I could, and started making all the crazy noises I could think of, but my darn parents just sat there and laughed at me...Ugh...how rude! I really wanted more of that green stuff!!! Unfortunately,on day 2 of green beans, mommy and daddy quickly realized that I am allergic to them. I get a bad rash on my head, but it goes away about 20 minutes later. Dr. Naylor says that I can't have anymore green beans until I'm 8 months old. What a bummer!!!
Yesterday, I got to try sweet potatoes and I quickly got over the disappointment of not being able to have green beans anymore. Wow, those things sure are yummm-o!!! I definitely think I am a vegetable lovin' girl. I can't wait to find out what they plan on giving me next!

This morning, mommy took me to the doctor because I had a bad bug bite on my right forearm. She first noticed it on Friday, but it got bigger and bigger over the weekend, so she thought it would be a good idea to take me in to have it checked out. Apparently, I got bit by a mosquito and then developed Cellulitus around the bite. No big deal though...Dr. Naylor called in an antibiotic cream to put on the infected area and she says I should be good to go in a few days! While I was at the doctor, I went ahead and got my 5 month check up and a few shots too. This way I will only have to get three shots at my 6 month appointment instead of six shots! I weigh 16 lbs, 4 oz and I am 26 inches long. This puts me in the 75% for both height and weight. I am super healthy and still growing like a weed!

Cute pictures of Madelyn! Hopefully I will be able to see you guys sometime around the x-mas holiday season. I am sure it is a bit early for everyone to plan, but I sure hope it works out so that I can see that cute baby again! Love you guys!
