Sitting Pretty at 7 Months!



What a great month this has been!  Caroline has learned so much this month and has experienced some fun and new things!  Here are some highlights:

- At her 6th month appointment she still was 10th% in weight but 50th% in height!  We've got a long 'n lean baby!

- She can now sit up in her stroller so we are using our jogging stroller in full force now!  We've even done some some actual jogging!

-Caroline is learning to sit all by herself!  She's doing such a great job and I can imagine she loves seeing the world without having to lay down all the time!

- We have started solid foods!  After Caroline got a hang of her rice cereal, we have since tried Oatmeal, bananas, avocados, pears, sweet potatoes and prunes! She loves to sit in her hichair and eat eat away!

- Caroline is rolling all over the place these days!  I will find her in her crib almost on her tummy and on the other side!  She loves to roll over to see whats going on in the other room ... very curious little girl!

-Caroline loves to be tickled and giggle ... we love hearing her squeal!

-She loves to gab gab gab and being with people...  I think we have a talker and socializer (like her daddy!) on our hands!

-Caroline is fascinated by tags on all of her toys!  She studies them intensely!

-She still LOVES being outside... she loves looking at and touching all of the pretty spring flowers and going on walks and swinging on our front porch while we wait for daddy to come home!  A part of our night routine is actually sitting on the back deck watching Briley play!

-Caroline is grabbing and holding her toys and blocks very well and even stands up holding on to the coffee table!  She also enjoys taking baby sips of our water!

-We are starting to enjoy our jumper and exersaucer... finally growing into them!

-We celebrated a very special Mother's Day this month!  Very low key with lots of family play and snuggle time!

- Caroline got Baptized by her Grampa this month!  It was a very special day with family honoring little Caroline Jo Coleman!

What a fun SPRING month we had!  Nature and Caroline are just blooming!!!!!  Next month we have a few big trips ahead of us... including our first trip to the beach!  Hopefully Caroline will love the beach as much as her momma and daddy do!!  Also, her first cousin (on her momma's side) will be here soon!  We can't wait!
