6 Months ~ 1/2 a YEAR!


"How wonderful LIFE is now you're in the world..."

Caroline is now 6 months old!  Time has flown by and needs to slow down but life is wonderful!  Caroline continues to be a joy to all of us.  She is such a sweet little girl with a great spirit!! 

She has had quite a big month!  Here are some highlights from the past few weeks:

-Caroline moved to her new home this past week ... so exciting to think about all the memories that will be made here with the entire family and her future siblings!
-Caroline is "talking" more and more... she loves to jibberjabber especially when she is excited about something
-FEET are a big deal right now!  She loves to grab, chew and look at her feet
-Now that the weather is more consistently pleasant, Caroline loves to be outside.  She likes to look at the blooming flowers and green grass and feel the sunshine 
-Caroline has recently started to reach out to us when she wants to be picked up... such a special feeling for her parents!
-She loves to be held on our lap - we try to hold her during dinner time so she can be a part of our evening -she is very interested in what we are eating and likes to grab at everything in sight
-We have found Caroline's ticklish spots!  She giggles when you tickle her neck, under her arms and belly button.  And she loves for you to kiss her feet too!:)
- She has recently learned to shake her rattle and other toys!
-Caroline is learning to sit and learning to be unswaddled... slowly but surely!
-She continues to enjoy her rice cereal in the evenings and next month we start more solid foods and the highchair!
