Caroline is 5 months old!

Caroline is already 5 months old! She had a little buddy, Teagan, born on Sept 27, right on her 5 month b-day. Teagan's mom is my good friend Brittany in North Carolina. She's the one whom I called at 4:30 am to come watch my kids while I went to the hospital to have Caroline. She came right over. What a friend! I'm thrilled her son arrived safely and feel bad I'm not there to re-pay the favor since she had to have c-section.

Caroline is rolling all over, making the funniest faces, making clicking noises and closely observing us, especially when eating. She's a very happy baby, but can be a bit fussy in the evening. She knows she gets her alone time after the other 4 kids go to bed and is much more demanding in the late evening/nighttime than during the day. She's a joy in our family, and we love our little "Lina." Matt is looking forward to feeding her cereal in the next few weeks. We'll have to give a report.

My aunt Karin thinks that Caroline looks like my brother Mark did when he was a baby. Here they are together. What do you think? Same hair cut:)

We had 7 inches of snow overnight.

Caroline enjoyed her first trip to the zoo. She liked riding the train with Mom.
