How have 6 months gone by already? My sweet girl is 6 months old!  She amazes me every day and I am beyond blessed to be her mommy.  Between work and spending every spare moment with her when I get home, I have very little time for anything else.  Since there hasn't been a post here since October, I probably didn't even need to spell that out!  And now, lets go bullet style so that this doesn't become a 4 page post!
At 6 months Caroline...
*is still exclusively breast-fed.  We'll start solids sometime after the beginning of the year and her 6 month check-up.  I'm in no hurry. 
*does not sleep through the night yet.  But I'm honestly not missing much more sleep than I was at the end of being pregnant.  She's so easy in the middle of the night that it's no different than getting up to pee several times a night.  When she cries I get her from her room, bring her to bed with us, she nurses back to sleep and I usually drift off too, then I take her back to her room.
* can roll anywhere she wants to go.
*is a tummy sleeper.  
*We put her to bed awake, she rolls over on her tummy, grabs her blanket and sticks her thumb in her mouth.  She's out in just a few minutes. 
*sleeps best with a white-noise machine on all night.  When she first goes down at night we play classical nursery rhyme music.  
*can sit up all by herself.  
*favorite toys are the ones that make crinkle noises.  
*loves bath time.  I can't wait till we can do some "mommy & me" swimming classes.
*has 2 pearly white monsters who have taken up residence in her lower gums. 
*loves animals.  Clover and Dolly love her back and she plays with the dog and 3 cats at the babysitters.  
This girl is the light of my life! So glad we had a snow day today and I got to spend her 6 month birthday snuggling her at home!!
We got a new rug for the living room and Scoot and Daddy had to test it out before we moved the furniture back in. 

Here I am practicing my sitting up in my Christmasy outfit.
Babies in hats make me swoon!  And a baby in a hat with a big grin ... I'm mush!
 



Too cute!!!!!!!!!!!!
