Six months

So I actually wrote this when Caroline was six months old. It's just been sitting in my lineup waiting for me to post. 

I waited just a little bit to write this post as Caroline's wellness visit was just last Wednesday and I wanted to get her stats down.

Weight: 13 lbs. 6 oz (6%)
Height: 25 inches

She is measuring true to a Walles child. Small just like her brother. Caroline can still wear her 3-6 month clothes but is mostly wearing her six month outfits. She continues to eat every 3-4 hours during the day and anywhere from 4-6 hours at night. We have introduced solid foods with sweet potatoes being her very first food. She now has also had acorn squash, peas and bananas. She is NOT  a fan of peas but has enjoyed everything else so far.




Caroline is still going to bed between 7 and 7:30 and waking up (for good) between 6:30 and 7:30 am.

Likes: Caroline likes books, toys and anyone who wants to talk to her as she now will "talk" back. She still loves bath time and giggles when you play peek a boo, toss her in the air and try to tickle her.

Dislikes: Peas, shots and being ignored.



Skills: Caroline has officially started rolling from her back to her tummy. She will put weight on her legs while standing and is getting really good at sitting up with little assistance. She still does great at putting herself to sleep as long as her two middle fingers are available and is still taking two naps, sometimes three, during the day. Caroline will now say "ba-ba" although she is just babbling at this point.

Caroline also had her six month check up with the orthopedic surgeon in regards to her hip dysplasia this past Monday. He still does not feel a click in her hips while doing an exam but is concerned about her xrays that were taken. He wants a second opinion from a pediatric orthopedic surgeon in Peoria. We will hopefully have an appointment set up with them soon.

We can't believe that Caroline is already six months old and are so thankful for our happy, sweet loving girl!
