Caroline is changing before our eyes. When she's playing on the floor now, she much prefers to be on her tummy. And her strength to push her chest up and hold her head up on her tummy keeps getting stonger.
She has also figured out how to suck her thumb (in the traditional thumbsucking position now) and really enjoys doing that. I'm hoping that she will be able to find her thumb now in the middle of the night, instead of wanting her paci.
She is able to do most of the work to sit herself up if she has some help getting started. When she's sitting in her vibrating chair, she can lift her head, shoulders, and the top part of her back up all by herself. So, she can now reach up and swat at the little bunny that dangles above her-- in fact, today she actually grabbed it and pulled it down.
Her ability to grab and hold things is getting much more controlled and purposeful. She can reach out and pick up a toy that she wants if it is within her reach.
Another funny thing, she likes to chew on the feet of her PJ's. She just brings her foot toward her face and then pulls on the footy part until she gets in her mouth.
Every day seems to bring a new surprise from our little girl.

She *prefers* to be on her tummy? That's very unusual! And the thumbsucking thing is great for self soothing. (Ant went for his thumb for a bit but ended up settling on his first two fingers instead). I'm just a bit worried about how long it will last. I guess you never see 18-year olds sucking their thumb though ;-)
