The Nichols Family Band: Six Months Old!

Our baby has been with us for half a year. We recently framed some black and white photos from her life until now to hang in our bedroom. There are a few there from her first month or two and the transformation is amazing. These six months have been much of what we expected but of course so much more. We are so blessed to have such a vibrant, inquisitive, eager, strong little lady.

At six months old, Caroline...

Eats almost everything put before her.
Has two bottom teeth (both made their appearance in the last four days).
Squeals and coos and tests out lots of new sounds.
Has had a fever, runny nose, and cough (the second two also appearing in the last four days).
Gets SO EXCITED when her dad comes into sight.
Loves to stand, almost to exclusivity, and can hold on to something and stand on her own.
Can sit unassisted and pull up.
Locates and properly inserts her pacifiers.
Prefers snapping to clapping.
Finally realized that mom puts bows in her hair.

Photo of this last "skill" below :( Hoping she is just interested in her hair, since if she refuses the hair clips then I worry about how we'll keep the hair out of her eyes in the future.

This weekend we did some house stuff (aka John did some attic and basement organizing while C and I played photoshoot) and enjoyed the gorgeous weather.
