6 months old

Trying to escapeThis was the only way I could keep her in her chair.


Rolling on the floor, usually I put down a blanket, but I was not prepared for her wiggly self.




She thinks this is a game, and is very funny.

Chair pictures are not so easy anymore. I took one with her sitting nicely, but that is all I could get. She just squirmed and wormed her way onto the floor.


What...half a year has passed since Caroline's birth. I cannot believe it. I know I say that every month, but time really does fly by. I just enjoyed two wonderful weeks off with my sweetie and I am looking forward to the entire summer, but that will mean she will be almost a year old. So for now, I am trying to enjoy every day being a working mom.


Caroline is beginning to get on her hands and knees. I don't think she is really quite ready to crawl, but she is getting the position down. She sits up really well and wants to sit up everywhere. She can stand while holding my hand or another object. I have been a bit worried because she does not coo or make too many noises. However, recently she has been saying "mmmmmmmm" a lot as well as a few other noises. She grunts and tenses up when she wants to be put down or do something different. She laughs out loud a lot, and it does not take much to make her laugh which is great for us. She loves her bouncer and will squeal and laugh every minute she is in it. She loves cereal and oatmeal with fruit or veggies mixed in. We recently gave her a sippy cup, and she likes to drink from it, but she cannot pick it up and put it in her mouth herself. Overall, things are great. We are excited to see her new stats at her appointment on the 19th of January. Caroline is so much fun right now and I just love her to pieces.
