My Sweet Girl is 6 Months Old!!

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!
