6 months

At her appointment Tuesday, our little Caroline weighed in at 17lbs, 10 oz and 25 1/4" long. She was pronounced in perfect health and beautiful by both the doctor and nurses.

It is hard to believe that my little baby is already half a year old! Each day I look at her learning new things and new skills and I am just in awe. Her smile lights me up and her laugh makes me happy.

She took one wobbly crawl this afternoon before collapsing to her tummy. I'm not sure she even realized what she was doing, but she was up on all 4s and she moved her hand the right way to move forward (the thing she's had the most trouble mastering). I'll be visiting a friend for a short bit this Saturday and I'm hoping I can convince her 3 and 5 year old to try and teach Caroline to crawl by example. :-) It will be a good distraction while their mom and I do some work on the computer together, anyway. :-)

Sittin' Up with the Baby

Caroline has begun to sit on her own, though I usually have to put her in position and most times she still has to balance herself with her hands or by holding something in front of her.


I can hardly believe she is 6 months old!
We go to the doc tomorrow, so I'll post her 6 mos update later. As you can see from the pictures, she's happy and amazing.


She got a new walker last week to use. Here she is exploring in it at the cleaners.


In true female form, she has discovered the cell phone and loves it. Unfortunately, she thinks it's for eating, not talking.


She loves the remote, too.
