Fun in Ann Arbor

Last week we took Mady to the Ann Arbor Art Fair where she made friends with a large tatooed biker. Actually, the bald guy in the picture is a statue. Anyone want to buy that for their home? Ha! Mady had fun people-watching and taking in all the colorful objects. On Sunday we went to our church picnic where Mady got to play with her buddy Jack. Jack is two months older than Madelyn and he is very good at crawling. Mady and Jack interact by stealing each others pacifiers. I'm very proud of my little girl for dishing it right back out when the bigger kids pick on her. :)

Madelyn had her 6 month checkup earlier this week. She now weights 16.07 lbs (44% percentile)and is 27.05 inches (85% percentile). She is in great health. We asked the doctor about a rash she had gotten on her face a few weeks ago because we were concerned that it might have been a food allergy. We even brought in some pictures that we had taken. The doc told us that a real food allergy would have given her a rash from head to toe. This was just a "contact allergy" and that it was nothing to worry about. Mady also got another round of vaccinations, which she was not happy about. Since she got a fever the last time she had her shots, we've been giving her Tylenol this time to keep her temperature down. It has worked pretty well. By tomorrow she should be as good as new. :)
