Happy 5 Month Birthday, Caroline!

Another month has flown by.

Just because I love tiny, perfect baby feet.

Our girl gummed her way through her fourth month.
Everything goes into the mouth.
If she can't get it into her mouth she licks it.
I've caught her licking the floor more than once.



We brought out Brady's Exersaucer.
She seems to enjoy spinning around in it.
She can't bounce in it as her little legs aren't long enough yet.

She does a great job of standing on Daddy's hand.
I think Daddy enjoys it more than she does,
but I'm sure that will change as she gets older.

Caroline weighs approximately 13lbs.  She is still in size 2 diapers and has plenty of room in her 3-6 months bottoms, but the 3-6 month tops aren't going to fit much longer.  She is sleeping really well at night.  She usually sleeps from about 8- 6:30 or 7.  She is not a good napper though.  She usually only naps for 45 minutes at a time.  She has changed her preferred sleep position.  She almost always rolls to her tummy as soon as I put her in her crib.  She scoots to her favorite corner and remains there until she wakes.  She is quite the little roller now, but still only rolls to her right.  She is doing a pretty good job of sitting up and will likely be doing it on her own within a week or two.

Caroline seems to be very calm and content unless she is hungry or tired.  She smiles often and laughs easily.  She is fairly ticklish and very cuddly.  She occasionally gets scared and cries if someone other than Mommy or Daddy is holding her.  

We are having so much fun watching our sweet baby girl learn and grow.
