Six Months Old!!

Caroline Jean- 6 Months Old

I can't believe that we are half-way to Caroline's first birthday!  Time is flying!  We are having so much fun with our little girl- she has personality plus.  She is always smiling and wants to be part of the action.  Lately she has started cooing and talking more- it's fun to hear those happy baby noises.  We love our little girl so much! 

Caroline weighed 15lbs, 11oz (36%) and was 26" long (50%).  At six months Tommy weighed 20lbs, 8oz and Henry was 16lbs, 8oz.  For length, Tommy was 27 1/2" and Henry was 25 1/2".  Tommy's head was 17 1/2" and Henry's was 17 1/4".

Just for comparison- I was 16 lbs, 0 oz and 27" long so she is a little smaller than I was.

What is Caroline up to at 6 months?

- Caroline sleeps from 5pm- 7:30am.  She wakes around 6am to eat quick before going back down for a little longer.  Once or twice a week she wakes up to eat around 2am.

- She naps from 9am-11:15am and then again from 12:45pm-3:15pm consistantly.

-She eats 6 times a day in addition to a serving of cereal in the morning and a container of baby food at night.

- She has eaten rice cereal, oatmeal, mixed grain cereal, barley, beans, and peas.  Oatmeal and beans are the favorites so far.

- She is in size 2 diapers and 6-12 month clothing.

-She discovered her toes about a week ago and loves to play with them.  She also enjoys her activity gym and is just starting to like the jumperoo and excersaucer. 

- Her neck control has gotten much better and she easily rolls from side to side, but can't roll from back to front or front to back yet. 

- She is cooing and making baby noises more and more often.
