Some Winners

I had to share some really sweet pictures of Caroline that actually DO show her smiling!

Portraits and Fundraiser

If anyone wants to see the 6 mo portraits we got taken of Caroline today, or a few of all three of them, visit my blog at:

Also, I sent out emails today to those of you who have ordered in the past letting you know about Jake's school's fall fundraiser, so be sure not to delete that email from Great American if you would like to order. Thanks! I'll write a better post later!

6 Mo Portrait and Trio Proofs

We had an OKAY photo session today. It was just Penneys - nothing fancy - and definitely you get what you pay for, but I think we got some decent shots. None that I'm in love with, but I was under the gun by my mother, and had to get them done where we could afford to. So, this is what we got:

6 Mo. Appt

Caroline had her 6 mo. dr. appt. today and it went well. She was:

26.25 inches

16 lbs, 6 oz.

and her head is 85% in circumference.

She got 2 shots, and we talked about her sensitivity to food (broke out in a rash after being fed squash - which was her first non-rice cereal food). He prescribed a steroid cream for her eczema, and we're going to lay off the squash for a while. We'll try sweet potatoes next.

She's just been delightful lately - sleeping well at night (is ALWAYS down for the count by 7pm and usually sleeps until 8am the next morning, with one meal in the early morning). She's taking two naps per day....and still nurses 5-6 times and gets rice cereal 2-3 times.

She's sitting up really well, and rolling around a bunch. I think we're going to lower her crib, because I'm anticipating her being able to pull herself up into a sitting position pretty soon and I want to beat her to it!

She's just an angel baby, and we love her SO SO much! So do her brothers!

For Mom

This is mainly for my mom who wanted to see these. This is Caroline in the little outfit with the kerchief hat that she bought for her, and then a picture of her with her first little ponytail, and a video. I'll post a more extensive update next week after her 6 mo. checkup.

First Swing

Here is a video of Caroline at Candy Cane Park, swinging in a baby swing for the first time. Those of us that know her well wouldn't have expected any other reaction. She LOVES motion!

Here are a couple of pictures of her playing in her room - she has a purse with money and lipstick that she enjoys mouthing on. It's never too early for a girl to learn how to apply lipstick.
