At six months, our darling babe...

... is one smiley girl. Her whole face lights up when she smiles and it is contagious.
... is happy. She is just a content little lady. Her sister can often be heard saying, "Caroline is happy". She is a go with the flow kinda gal, which we are so thankful for during our busy summer days. She hangs out at the splash pad, the park, and thoroughly enjoys watching her sister dance, and has been enjoying library time from week to week.
... is sitting up. It became baby book official this weekend. She has been wobbly for a while, but as we played on the floor this weekend, I realized that she had yet to fall down. Hopefully this little fact makes it to the baby book.
... loves to be held. That happy smiley thing... especially when she is held. Her pattern tends to be that she is a morning gal. More content to be in the exersaucer or play on her own in the morning. But afternoon she likes to hang with mom. I don't complain too much... and I have been quite surprised by some of the things I am able to accomplish with a babe on my hip. That being said, her new skill of sitting up seems to alleviate some of the 'baby on hip' time.
... has regressed in the sleep department. Just a bit. We had a stretch where it was through the night. I was hesitant to even say those words for fear that it would stop. She is waking up about twice a night, once near the 5 o'clock hour, which isn't considered the middle of the night.  Whether it's a regression, a growth spurt, or our new normal, it still isn't complaint worthy.
... is squishy and delicious. She has the best thighs. For reals.
... loves her sister. She lights up around her, loves to pull her hair, and reach for anything in her hands. Big sister has also taken an interest in anything that is in Caroline's hands. Lots of talk about sharing in this house. Caroline also loves toys that make noise and anything that is soft and snuggle worthy.
Which is one the many things we love about her...
