Hanging out with friends and more. . . .

We went over to Aaron Reinberg's house the other day. We had a great time visiting. It was hard to get a good picture of everyone. Caroline just threw a fit right before the pic was taken.

Right now Caroline is into getting startled and laughing really hard. It is pretty funny. I always think I am being mean when I scare her, but then she giggles really hard and wants to play more. We are having a lot of fun playing with her!

She has a stuffy nose right now. We feel so bad for her b/c it is hard for her to breathe and she hates when we wipe her nose. I guess that is pretty normal.

new things

Well, Caroline drank from a cup today. This is a big step for the no- bottle no-sippy cup princess. I was pretty excited that she did this! I was starting to get a little worried. She is starting to have a lot of fun screaming and listening to her voice. She also loves the Bee Bop Band. It is a drum, symbols, a tambourine and a maraca. She loves to make noise. This particular band set is not very annoying b/c the sound is a little muted (thank goodness!). It is really cute and fun to play with her now.
She still hates tummy time, so she is in the roll over position before I even have a chance to put her on her tummy and then immediately rolls over. I guess she will learn sometime :)

Caroline playing (7 months)

Here are a few pictures that we took of Caroline playing. The first one is of her playing in her pack and play. The others are of her playing in a pile of tissue papers in the basement that we stacked up while cleaning.

Halloween

Caroline was a monkey for Halloween. We found the most awesome costume. Fortunately, it is a little big so we can still put her in it for laughs for the next couple of months.

6 month pics

We had some new pics taken of baby girl. She did a great job and was in a great mood the whole time. We were pretty lucky! Lately she has been so easy going. She is really enjoying playing now and likes to annoy poor Diego. He deserves everything she gives him, but she likes to pull his tail and fur. We are really watching them just to make sure he is behaving himself. She has started playing in the bathtub. She has been splashing for awhile, but not really playing like she is now. Now she enjoys watching her rubber duckie float around and plays with her stacking cups. It is really cute. Right now she does not mind water getting in her face. I hope it stays that way!!!

carrots and more

Here are a couple of pics with Jack Robert's Halloween bib on. Thanks for letting us borrow it Jack! Caroline loves her carrotts. On another note, we went to the doctor this past week. Caroline is doing great. She is in the 99th percentile for height, topping the charts at 28 and a half inches long, and 97th percentile for weight, weighing in at 19 lbs. 12 oz. As you can tell, she is growing quite nicely!!!

Caroline is getting such a personality now. She is a little spoiled, though. When somebody walks out of the room, she gets her feelings hurt, even if somebody is still paying attention to her. She needs all of the attention (and of course, we give it to her!) So, maybe it is our fault.

She is starting to talk a lot now, screaming actually. It kind of sounds like singing. Ian calls her Neetney Cuteston, after the great Whitney Houston. One of her nicknames is Neets, so that is now he came up with it. Don't ask how we came up with Neets. She seems to like it though.

Caroline loves dogs

Here are a couple of pictures with Caroline. She loves dogs.
