Five months

Wow, these last five months really have flown by! Caroline is learning new things every day, especially that teething is no fun and has resulted in her usual happy mood changing into a slightly more fussy one. Granted, this is nothing compared to her colic days 3 months back but it's not a lot of fun either.

Caroline is growing! She now wears size 2 diapers, 3-6 month clothes and size 1 shoes. She can still wear a lot of her 3 month outfits but they are getting tighter and shorter every day. Caroline continues to eat every 3-4 hours during the day and most recently due to the teething and some congestion, every 4 hours at  night. (Will I ever sleep through the night again?)

Caroline goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 pm and will wake up (for good) between 6:30 and 7:30 am.


Likes: Caroline loves any of her toys and all books. She has discovered so many things in the last couple weeks: her feet and Butters are on the top of the list. She is fascinated with both. Liam may still be her favorite person. If she is acting fussy I just ask Liam to come over and talk to her and she brightens right up! Her new favorite game is peek-a-boo. Especially when Liam plays the game with her. She is also ticklish on her belly and will laugh and laugh every time you tickle or blow raspberries on it. Bathtime is also still her favorite time of day.



Dislikes: Caroline does not like teething and neither do I.

Skills: Grabbing her toys, blowing raspberries, pushing herself up on her arms while doing tummy time and rolling from tummy to back. She is close to rolling from back to tummy (getting one leg over) but has not figured out how to complete the movement. She is excellent at putting herself to sleep as long as she has her two middle fingers to put in her mouth. She is still napping between 9 and 10 for 1-2 hours and then again at 1 for 1-3 hours.

Her greatest skill so far: making every single person she meets smile!
