More new stuff

Caroline seems to be doing something new every day. First of all, we started Kindermusik last week and we went to our second class today. It is really fun for both of us. We sing, dance, play instruments and interact with other babies. Caroline kind of goes into her shell a little bit during class. I have noticed that she seems to get overwhelmed around lots of people. So, she is quiet and looks and listens, but her happy, smiley side doesn't come out. I'm sure it will once she gets used to class and the other people.
She is still progressing with crawling. She is starting to move her legs forward one at a time a little. Her new thing is to rock and then do a belly flop down on the floor. She also had started doing the plank (if you know the yoga pose)-- crawling position with her arms but up on her tip toes with her legs out straight. Pretty funny!.
I made attempt number 2 with rice cereal. We tried it back about 3 weeks ago and she was not interested at all. So, I decided to wait a few weeks. I fed it to her again over the weekend and she was more interested but not too enthusiastic. Well, she has now started loving it and kicks her feet with exciement when she sees me mixing it up and opens her mouth really wide for the spoon.
And finally, she is starting to sit a little bit without support. She can do it best in my lap and she can do it on the floor if she puts her hands down or holds her feet. I am starting to put her on the floor in the Boppy pillow to help her along a little.

It won't be long before we have to start putting up baby gates!
