Caelin is 5 months old!

Caelin has reached 5 months! Can't believe time has flown by so fast. She is quite the little angel for sure. I guess most people experience at least 1 fussy baby, but we were blessed with 2 amazing babies who have always been happy! Cade was such a "thinker", always looking around, watching others, and smiling. Caelin is a true girl, always wanting to be in on the action, always smiling, and "talking" more than the average baby. She hardly ever fusses, and enjoys being held (in the upright position) so she does not miss anything. She still enjoys her swing and play yards at both our house and Gamee/Grampee's. She prefers a paci most of the time, but will chew on anything she can get in her mouth. Cade got his first teeth at 6 months, so we are watching her mouth to see if any pop up in the next few months. Caelin also continues to eat 7oz bottles of breast milk every 4 hours, so she is taking over as the "chubbers" in our family. She still has about the same amount of hair as when she was born, so if bows are part of any outfit, we utilize a headband and then clip a bow to it. The girl also knows style as we are still trying to get her to wear all the clothes in her closet. Between hand me downs from Aunt Mendy/Mackenzie, friends, and purchases from Nana/Gamee...Caelin still has clothes with tags on it, a princess for sure! As for her sleeping, she continues to take 3-4 little one hour naps throughout the day, and at night we are at about 10 hours of sleep! Right after her 4 month doctor check up, we laid her on the floor to see if she could start rolling over, and the little stinker sure showed us! She rolled not only from front to back, but back to front! She is a little roly poly now! Her usual bedtime is 9pm and we wake her up about 6:45am to go to Gamee's for the day during the week. Charles and I are so happy we are finally getting sleep! Apart from all these fun and positive milestones this month, Caelin also had a very scary hospital stay with respiratory issues. That is in more detail in an earlier blog, but thought it should be noted here in her monthly update as well. She has recovered nicely though and is back on track now like nothing every happened. Even while in the hospital and not feeling well, she would still smile. That says so much about her positive nature and personality. I told you she was a perfect angel!
Congrats Caelin on 5 months, we are so proud of all you have accomplished thus far. We love you "all the way around the world and back again"!
