Big girl!

Carolynn is doing so many new things! As you can see, she can kind of sit up by herself. She leans forward and holds onto her feet or the floor without falling over.

She is also very interested when we chew and grabs at our food. So, it may be time to try cereal soon. I am excited and nervous about this. First, I will be sad to give up exclusive breastfeeding. It has been a special time for us, and still will be, but she's just on her way to not needing her mommy anymore! I guess that's how it will be forever. The older they get, the less they need you. I can already tell she's going to be very independent.
She's also getting very good at grabbing things. The other day, she was in her pouch and I was making banana bread. I had a bowl full of dry ingredients on the counter, and while I was pouring out something into a measuring cup I look down and see Carolynn holding onto the side of the mixing bowl and dragging it toward her/off the counter! She also is getting good at grabbing hair.
I keep thinking any day now I will go to get her up in the morning and she'll have some teeth, but nothing yet. Just drool....a lot of it.
Even though she's not far from 6 months now, here are some 5 months pictures I took.
