Today was Madeline's six-month checkup. She weighed in at 17 lbs. 5 oz. and measured 25.75" long (though we're pretty sure she's longer than that). And she got shots. She was a trooper: she turned beet red and cried at the needles but recovered immediately afterward.
With a little extra afternoon at our disposal, we headed back to the Tiverton/Little Compton area and drove along the coast while Madeline took a long nap. Then we returned to Evelyn's for more lobster rolls. Madeline was intrigued.
And she seemed happy for the excursion. The hot weather was tempered by some significant wind, which Madeline has always enjoyed.
Plus she got to watch some interesting birds, especially a seagull that begged for food. Here it is flying to some folks offering it a no-doubt-tasty morsel.
The wind tousled Madeline's hair (and Summer's, too).
And it provoked a string of babbling from an exhilarated baby.
So Madeline wasn't too traumatized by the needles, and we all got to enjoy a bit of fresh, salty air. All in all a pleasant afternoon.
