Last shots!

Monday we went to the doctor to get her last shots of the first year! So in the meanwhile we know her size and weight... ok I will tell you as well! She is 65 cm tall and she weighs 7.5 kg! It's a big girl. Today we were out for a walk as the weather was perfect and we met some other babies. There was a baby of 7 months old and that baby was even smaller than our 4 month old girl.

Grandma is realy happy with her because when she goes out for a walk with her (when daddy is working) people tell her things like; she looks like a mixed baby or she is so cute or she is so pretty or she is so tall. Well I guess she is just different than most of the babies out there. And we are happy as long as Caroline is healthy and happy!

A video of Caroline's first 'play' time.

Special Day

It's a big day today; the new year started (year of the tiger), it's valentine's day and more important Caroline is four months old. Enough reasons to celebrate.
Over the last month she has changed a lot... for instance she laughs loudly and more often than before. She also became sensitive to tickles. She knows when it is bath time and so when she enters the bathroom she calms down right away and is waiting on her changing path with a big smile. Once she is in the water she starts to kick and let the water splash all over us.
Her hand-eye coordination are improving slowly, she does not grab things by accident anymore but can reach out for things and holds on to them. Since two weeks she plays with things and does that very often by herself for longer periods of time. One of her favorite toys are balloons. We tie a few balloons around something that she can shake and so she sees the balloons dancing a meter above her.
Every morning she wakes up very hapily and smile when she see you. Then she starts 'talking' to you... she has more and more sounds she knows so that it is lovely to listen to her. One day she even gave me a speech. In the evening she falls asleep by herself by sucking on her index finger. If there is a day where she is more grumpy she uses a pacifier. During the day she sleeps way less; she usually only takes 2 to 3 naps a day.
She loves listening to the guitar and turns her body towards sounds.
We are enjoying our happy and healthty baby.
Enjoy the year of the tiger!

Through the night!

Last night Caroline slept for 8 hours straight! I did sleep better as well ;)
We hope she keeps on improving. She is still sleeping in our bed at night but during the day she takes her naps in her own bed.
The picture is one I took yesterday after she woke up in her bed.
As I am writing this she is listening and looking at her mom playing guitar, she just loves it and will cry when mom stops. A rock star is born :)

Almost Three Months

Our little baby is almost three months old so we went to the doctor again for a shot. So before the shot they did a little check; she is now 60 cm tall and she ways 7 kg! What a heavy girl, we can't wait for her to start crawling so she can loose some ;) Sunday I checked how fast she drinks, mommy pumped milk and while she was gone I gave this to her; it took her less than five minutes to finish 60 ml. She is a real drinker like her day

When she go her shot the nurse was saying sorry to her but Caroline didn't mind it that much because she cried for only 5 seconds and ten minutes after the shot she was sleeping.

That's it for the moment...

Almost Three Months

In less then a week Caroline will be three months old. Only a few things have changed since the last post; she has discovered that she has feet and she sings together with us!

And yes she already sings better than her dad ;)
