Caddie 6 Months









Our little Caddie just turned 6 months last week. She is doing so well and the doctor is 100% sure we will have an early walker, though Cooper walked at 9 months so it can't be much earlier.

She is still little and the doctor says this is due to the fact that she is so active and burning so many calories. She is an eating machine and can put down a 6oz bottle in no time flat. Even with all she is eating she was 13.5lbs which is only in the 5%. She is 24 3/4 inches long this is in the 10th to 25th %. So she might just be a little one for a while but I am sure she will catch up to Cooper soon.

She just loves to play with him and is always wanting to be on the floor with him and playing with his toys. She can make it across the room in no time and is beginning to sit up. She can get up half way on her own and if you sit her on the floor she will stay there and not fall over. So I am guessing a few more weeks and she will have that down too.

She is the sweetest baby and so loving. She will throw these smiles out at anyone who will pay any attention to her. She also watches everything so closely. If I am doing anything she is just sitting there and watching me, almost taking notes :) She knows her bottle and before you can make it she is reaching for it.

She is our little sleeper. She will get up in the morning and have a bottle then sometimes fall back asleep. She then has a nap between 9am and 10am which last for about 1-1.5 hours. She then goes down between noon and 1pm with Cooper and takes another hour nap. Her bedtime is 7:30pm and she never fights it. She is normally up about 6:30am but we have had earlier mornings. Anything before 5:30am though is just ignored and she goes back to sleep.
She is beginning to babble more and will let out these excited squeals that are so funny. Most mornings she wakes us up by talking not by crying. She will just lay in her bed and talk and talk till someone comes in to get her.

We have begun solids, but it is day to day if she is interested or not. Some days she is all about it and others she could care less. That is about how it was for Cooper too! She has tried all the "main" solids and has not had a problem with any of them so I am thankful for that.

She is just growing bigger and bigger daily! The first 6 months went by so fast so I am sure then next 6 will too.
