Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ready for some green beers!

This Little Lady is SERIOUS About Her Food!

Caroline loves to eat!  She gets so excited sometimes, you'd think we were starving her!  Also, our little peanut is definitely teething and she loves anything cold to chew on.  We tried putting some frozen grapes in a food teether (I'm not sure what else to call it), and she went crazy for it!

6 Months Young!

Here's a few more pics of Caroline lately.  Had to get a few pics with our "6 month" sticker!  Please ignore her wet top, our little drool monster is getting ready to pop a tooth!

Trying to make her laugh and she gives me this look!  (aka "My mom's gone crazy!)

Sitting up like a big girl!  Right now Caroline can sit by herself for about a minute or so at a time (we have to stay right next to her to make sure she doesn't fall back and hit her her head.)

6 Month Appointment

Well RSV hit us a little over a week ago and it was no fun!  My great little sleeper went back to a newborn schedule and was up every hour or two feeling miserable.  She was wheezing, had a runny nose and an awful cough.  We had to take her to get suctioned at the doctor's three days in a row- although it helped her clear the mucus, it was so hard to watch her.  This was the first time Caroline has been sick, and the worst part is that she looked so sad and just wasn't her happy self.  Most of the time she wanted to be held and mommy couldn't do much else last week except for lay around with our sick little C.  She is finally feeling better and is almost 100% now, except for a little cough that we're told could hang on for a few weeks.

We had her 6 month appointment today and she looked great (and her lungs are sounding clear again!)  Here are her stats:

Height: 27 1/4 inches  (92nd Percentile!)
Weight: 15 lbs 2 oz (40th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 16 3/4 inches (57th Percentile)

Although she is still gaining, I am surprised at how much her weight has tapered off because she's such a great eater.  She LOVES sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, peaches, pears, bananas and applesauce.  She's not so excited about any of her green veggies, but she will eat them if I switch off bites with one of her preferred foods.  Caroline will now hold her bottle most of the time by herself, tries to sit by herself, transfer toys from one hand to the other and is babbling and laughing a ton!

6 month pics and videos coming soon!
