6 Months Old

My precious Mads will be 6 months old on Saturday. I'm so excited!!

Yesterday was a long day for my little one. She had her 6 month well check. Poor thing had to endure 5 shots but she was a trooper as usual. Then we went to visit MeMe (my mom) at school as a surprise. She had so much fun and Madilyn too. :) Well yesterday after we got home I fed her and she took a little nap. Then later in the evening Scot was in the bedroom, I was at the kitchen table and Mads was in the living room on her blanket. After such a long day she started getting fussy and tearing up a little. I waited a few minutes before getting up and suddenly...MADS SAID HER VERY FIRST WORD ----- "MAMA"!!! I couldn't believe it. Three times in a row, "Mama, Mama, Mama". So I rushed over, looked down at her, and she raised up her little arms for me to pick her up. My heart jumped for joy and I even teared up a bit. Later in the evening when it was time to eat she said that joyous word two more times.

My poor Scooters was a little upset but he was also excited to hear her say her first word. I'm promised him we would work on "Dada" and get her to say that as her next word. I still can't believe it. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!
