What a Big Girl!!

Caroline is officially 5 months old! She seems to have gotten HUGE over the past month. According to our scale, she weighs just a tad over 15 pounds, and I can definately tell she is longer than a month ago. Caroline will be going to the doctor for her 6 month check-up next month, so we will have more accurate stats then.

Joe, who is in charge of getting her dressed in the morning, decided that this special day called for a special outfit. Notice the tutu, which is connected to the pink, princess onsie. For someone who wasn't a big fan of having girly things, he sure did pick out a very feminine outfit:) On another note, Joe was also the one who decided we needed a pink/gray big girl carseat as opposed to a plain black one. Sucker;)

To our ever-changing baby girl:

  • You eat 8 ounces every four hours (4X/day). We tried you on cereal for the first time on 8/23. You seemed OK with it at first, but don't really seem to be crazy about it lately. Who can blame you? You are growing just fine, so we aren't too concerned.
  • You go to bed between 8-8:30, and we have to wake you up at 6:50 to go to the sitter...boo!
  • You are reaching for anything and everything in sight!
  • On September 14, you rolled over for the first time, back-to-front. You are rolling over all the time now!!
  • The next night we also put you in your big girl jammies for the very first time. No more swaddling or sleep sacs...WOOHOO!
  • One of your new favorite activities is playing in your exercauser. You love pushing the buttons and making noises with the toys.
  • We are now working on trying to sit up. Maybe by next month?!?
