6 months!

Six months ago right this second, I was walking back from TCH to Methodist Hospital after a long, emotional day.  I needed an ambien to go to sleep that night and I woke up at 3 am and could do nothing but think about Caroline.  I cannot believe how much can change in six months.  In some ways, it seems like it has been a lot longer than six months.  It's hard for me to believe that Caroline was still needing a tiny amount of oxygen just three months ago.  Although her lungs are probably not perfect now, she can throw a pretty good temper tantrum at about 7 pm most nights.

Caroline has her six month appointment on Wednesday.  We are hoping that she weighs around 9.5 pounds.  She is growing kind of slow but steady.  In the last month, Caroline has continued to develop.  She is rolling over in both directions.  Also, I think she is about to start the teething process.  She is slowly starting to eat bigger meals.  I think that we are about to have a breakthrough and we will be able to feed her fewer times a day.  We still feed her 9-11 times a day.  She is becoming very observant and watches every move we make.  She was imitating us eating dinner last night.  It was pretty funny.  Click here to see what Katie looks like when she eats pizza.

To sum it up, I am a very proud Dad.

Here are a bunch of pictures:

Happy to be six months old

...and happy again.  You get the picture...

Superwoman

We have to have a picture of the doll, of course.  Most people do not realize how small the doll really is...  I tried to find something about the same size that most everyone would recognize.  Please do not make fun of me...

I've posted it a million times, but here is Caroline at about 2 weeks:
