6 months!

Madeleine is 6 months old this week! We had a visit with the Plunket Nurse yesterday, and Madeleine is now 8.7kg (19.2lb), and 65.5cm long - such a big girl! We've been back in NZ five days now, and it has been really interesting to see her adjust to being back here. While in Canada, she was not nearly as vocal as she had been prior to the trip, and she began waking 1-2 times every night. But within a day of being back in NZ, she was singing and telling expressive stories all day, and sleeping all night. She has also started rolling over a lot in the last few days, and today she began scooting herself backwards when on her tummy. It is so incredibly fun to see her learn all these new skills! Here she is, all ready for bed, in her cute new PJs (size 9 month!)...
Here are a couple more pictures from our travels back to NZ. This is Madeleine at the start of our 14 hour flight to Auckland...
... and here she is airing out after the long journey home.

  1. Hey, Don, don't you agree that Madeleine in that airplane seat seems to be thinking to herself, "Boy, am I going to miss those Grampas... that was a great trip!"

    We sure enjoyed every minute with you three here in Canada!

  2. Just to be clear, the previous comment was from Mark....but I agree that we enjoyed every minute! I'm very envious of Don and Georgia, Kristin and Chris getting to see you all again in a few weeks or months.
