Caroline is 6 months old!

I can't believe our little peanut is six months old!  People aren't kidding when they tell you it goes by too quickly.  We are amazed at how fast she is growing and changing.

Six month stats-
Height: 27 inches 88%
Weight: 17 lbs 12 oz 80%
Head Circumference:  44.2 cm 90%
The Dr. told me she is the size of an average nine month old :)

At six months, Caroline:
*continues to be a very happy baby.  She smiles constantly and has a great temperament.  She entertains herself very well.
*still babbles a lot.  She will say "da da" a lot, but so far, that is about the only syllable that she repeats that we understand.
*is a little roly poly.  She rolls around anytime she is on the floor or in her crib.  She can really move now and has no problem getting to where she wants to go.
*is taking six bottles a day.  She is getting about six ounces in each bottle, 12-15 ounces each day are formula.  
*has started eating solid food at dinner time. She has had rice cereal, peas, carrots and sweet potatoes so far.  She is a good eater and has loved each new thing we have given her.  Her pediatrician has now recommended two meals a day, so we will be starting breakfast of oatmeal and a fruit and dinner of rice cereal and a vegetable.  
*puts everything in her mouth!
*is starting to get some new hair.  It looks like it may even be blonde!
*plays with her toys.  She moves things from hand to hand and of course to her mouth.
*loves her jumperoo. She is quite the little jumper and will keep herself occupied in the exersaucer for long periods of time.
*is a good sleeper.  She goes down between 8:30 and 9:00 each night and wakes up about 7.  She only sleeps on her belly these days with her little booty up in the air.  She will occasionally wake up once in the night and fuss for a bit, but has learned to put herself back to sleep.
*can sit up by herself for short periods of time.  She is getting better and better, so it won't be long until she can sit unassisted!

We are so lucky to have such a sweet natured baby.  We fall more in love with her every single day!
