Time flies!

Hello! Time for Caroline to check in! Can you believe I am almost five months old?!? It has been awhile since my last update so a lot has changed. I started sitting in the bumbo. It was okay for awhile. I could watch things easier so that I liked. It makes me feel stuck so I would try to arch out of it. I rarely sit in it now and only for short periods. Mommy got out the exersaucer. I really liked that. At first Mommy would put a towel behind my back, but before long she didn't have to support me. I can stand in it and there are all kinds of toys to keep me occupied. I still like it. Sometimes though I need a change. A girl can only be entertained by lights and music and spinning toys for so long!

Mommy caught me sucking my thumb. I do like it but really haven't gotten hooked on it. I chew on my fingers, but when it is time to sleep I usually take some pulls on my paci. We will see if I go to the thumb more regularly.
Graham mentioned in his blog that we went to Ames and Kansas City to see Daddy while he was in a couple bbq contests. I really couldn't do much. I sat in my carseat, Mommy held me, Uncle Greg held me in Ames, Nanny held me in KC, and that is about it.

In the afternoons, a lot of times we go to the cul de sac to play. I ride in the stroller. A couple of weeks ago, Mommy noticed I was mostly sitting up. The neighbors noticed too. Aunt Deb and family were here that weekend and as you can see I showed them that I could sit up. I am still wobbly but I have been doing it for like a week and a half, almost two weeks!I am growing like a weed! I had my four month appointment the other week. I weighed 14 lbs 15 oz putting me in the 75th percentile. I was 24 3/4 inches long putting me again at the 75th percentile. My head was at the 50th percentile. I did really well at the doctor but when they stuck those needles in my legs it hurt my feelings (and my legs)! Oh my goodness was that not fun! Speaking of growing, my hair is getting thicker! Yes I have been told that Graham had his first haircut at 3 1/2 months. My hair is getting thicker and before long no one will remember that my hair wasn't the mop that Graham was born with!

The weather has been great on many days. After lunch, we either sit out in the garage as Graham rummages around or somedays we sit on the deck. We all like it! Dakota gets to go out too and doesn't bark incessantly like she does when we are in the front yard.

Next time I check in who knows what new tricks I will have learned.

Graham has updated you on a lot of our events.
