Chunky Monkey

Our little chunkey monkey (Darren's nickname for Madison) has gained another pound in 2 short weeks!! We had to go back to the peditrician for a follow-up last week, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the scale hit 16lbs & 5 oz. It must be all the solid food that she's eating. LOL Madison loves prunes, carrots, pears, applesauce & bananas. Oh, you should see her face with the prunes! :) Since I'm still nursing too, she has to take a vitamin D supplement until she's able to drink cow's milk....12 months old. So, now we're all set on the dr's visits & shots until she turns 9 months...I'm sure she'll be happy about that!

Darren & I took a stroll through the toy department yesterday at the PX to get our little brains thinking about Christmas. It seems unreal that it's September and we're thinking Christmas! But WOW, there are so many little toys & games for her age!! We both got so excited looking at the things we could surprise her with...what fun!! We love to give gifts especially at Christmas, but this year will be different. Since we both have large families, we're used to buying toys for kiddos. I can't wait to see the look on her little chubby face when she begins to ripe through those wrapped packages!! :)
