6 Month Pictures

Poor unhappy baby!


Wagon given to her by Grandma Ottenbacher
Love that face!

Can you see my tooth??
So, we had baby girl's six month pictures done this weekend.  We started on Friday evening, but after a faceplant out of a prop and being to close to bedtime, it resulted in major meltdowns...which explains picture number one up there.  But, Angela was so sweet and came back this morning to try again and my sweetie was in a MUCH better mood this morning.  I'm pretty partial, but I sure do have a pretty baby! We leave for our 5 day cruise to the Bahamas on Monday and we are SO excited!! Will blog about that when we get back!

6 Months?? No way!

Entertaining herself in the waiting room.

The exam room was chilly, so she chewed on her teething ring handless, haha

Such a cutie.

Woke up mommy at 5am on my 6 month birthday!
Caroline's 6 month birthday was July 12th.  Seth was TDY to Dobbins AFB for 2 weeks, so I got to take her to another doctor's appointment alone(yay,not!).  I, again, don't have her stats right in front of me, but it was something like 28" (97% for height) and 18 lbs (91%) for weight.  She is a growing baby girl! The day of her appointment, her first official tooth popped through! She now has one bottom tooth that you can see and another right next to it that you can see, but not feel yet.  She had a rough week when it was coming through and would wake up between 4:30 and 5:30a.m. every day...while Seth was gone...and I was playing single mom.  It was tough, but we made it through! We spent a lot of mornings like the one above, laying in bed watching the news.  And some mornings I strapped her in the jogging stroller for a morning run for me.  So, it worked out in the end.  Some new developments for this 6 month beauty are:
-She rolls back and forth and now uses that as a means to get to things she wants.
-She can sit up unassisted for a good bit of time, but is so interested in checking everything out that she eventually rolls to her side to inspect something of interest.
-She's down to 4 bottles a day and has started using a sippy cup.
-She wears 9 month and even 12 month clothes because she's just so darn long that anything smaller than that just won't button!

That's all I can think of at the moment.  She really is such a joy to have and I just love her little personality.  Her smile lights up the entire room and that precious giggle of hers melts my heart.  Here's to the next 6 months going by MUCH more slowly!

4th of July..err..a couple weeks late!

Daytona Coke 400

My July 4th baby!
 So, for 4th of July weekend, we decided to take a trip to Daytona for the NASCAR Coke 400.  My mom offered to meet us in Brunswick and babysit overnight, even better! So, since Seth had Friday off, I took the day off too so we could enjoy a day off together.  He woke me up at 7:30 with the baby fed, bottles ready, and told me to get up because we were taking her to daycare and he was taking me out to breakfast! This was excellent news! So, we had a nice, relaxing day.  We had a babyless breakfast and went and worked out together at the base gym before packing for our night in Daytona.  But, then we started to miss the munchkin, so we picked her up early.  And then the next day we were off to Daytona! We met my mom for the baby swap and headed to the race and had a good time.  I will say that I definitely prefer Atlanta Motor Speedway to Daytona, but it was an experience nonetheless.  Some guys Seth works with got to roll out that huge flag and got free tickets to be out on the field and ended up meeting drivers.  But, my sweetie turned down that opportunity because I wouldn't have been able to go with him. (AWWWW!)  On the Fourth, we dressed Caroline up and attended a party at our friends' Nicci and Eric's house and had a nice time with friends.  We skipped out on fireworks this year, mostly because they started WAY past her bedtime, but we'll try them next year!

Mommy treat vs. Baby treat

I get the fresh peach martini and she gets the fresh pureed peaches. This makes us both happy :)
