5 months old!

5 month picture

Wow! Time really does fly! It's hard to believe that Caroline is 5 months old now (and on 5/5--how neat is that?). I am so glad that I have been able to stay at home with her all this time and see every new little thing she does. She is getting more fun everyday! Here are a few new facts about our sweet Caroline:

*She is starting to be able to sit up by herself. She gets distracted easily and starts to topple over...thankfully, Mommy is there to catch her!

*She is so nosy! If you lay her on her back, she does this pilates move where she lifts her upper body off the floor to see what's going on.

*She is a wiggle worm--especially when we're on the webcam talking to Grandmama and Grandaddy. It wears me out wrestling with her while trying to keep her in front of the camera.

*She does not like bananas! (see picture below) But I keep giving them to her!

*She grabs everything--hair, glasses, toys, Max's fur,remote controls, iPhones...

*She weighs 14 lbs, 9 oz.

*She eats 6 1/2 oz around every 3 hours and a little cereal (and banana) late in the afternoon.

*When she smiles, she smiles with her whole entire face and melts our hearts everytime!

This makes it real...

So, I'm going to meet with a lady who runs a home daycare tomorrow. This makes it really real that I have to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I know I am extremely fortunate to be able to take 6 months off and only going back 2 days a week for now, but that doesn't make it any easier. I love spending all day with Caroline. I love seeing her learn new things--and it seems like she learns something new everyday. And, selfishly, I don't want someone else to see them for the first time. At my job, I get to play and help kids all day...and I can't help but wonder if I'll just spend the entire day wishing I was with my child instead of someone else's?
