6 Months! Half a year, people!!

Who knew that 6 full months could pass by this quickly!?!  Caitlin just celebrated her half-birthday last Saturday, and we have a few new tricks to show for it!  She is now sitting entirely on her own.  Not quite well enough to leave her sitting without some pillows behind her, but she can sit all by herself for a long time.  She's also rolling over from her back to stomach now!  She likes to practice this trick a lot when she wakes up in her crib.  She still sleeps on her back or sometimes her side, but seems to roll over every time to test out some tummy time on her own.  She cried and cried the first few times when she thought she was stuck on her tummy and the world was ending.  She now seems to understand it's not so bad after all.

We've had a HOT few weeks here in Missouri.  Highs have been in the upper 90's, and every day I have felt grateful that the whole summer wasn't like that.  We did a lot of pool and sprinkler time in the back yard, and plan to do more of the same tomorrow.  Temps should go back down a bit on Monday, thank goodness!

Now back to the (1/2) birthday girl....

And just for fun, here's a pic of Logan at the same age:

Stats:
Weight:  tbd on Tues
Height:
Head Circumference:

Milestones:
Sleeping:  We've got a serious sleeping champ on our hands!  She takes after her brother, and is on a great 7pm-7am routine.  Logan is still getting into bed around 7pm, but his wake-up has been trending closer to 6 or 6:30.....which is not quite as nice as that glorious 7am time!
Eating:  Caitlin is a cereal and oatmeal-eating machine!  We'll start doing veggies/fruit on Tuesday and I'm so excited to see how she likes them!  Somehow it seems to me that she's less interested in nursing these days, and even more easily distracted than usual - but I suppose that's a natural part of starting to eat more solids.
Etc:  Logan and Caitlin are starting to form a little more of a relationship lately!  If she cries in the car, Logan will say, "It's ok, Caitlin.  Logan got you."  My heart explodes every time.
