*Very social - loves to smile, be held, and interact with everyone.
*Quite common to see her sucking her thumb when she is being held or if she can't find her pacifier in the crib.
*Still is very content riding in the sling
*Sleeps from about 6:30 to somewhere between 4 and 6:30 in the morning before she needs to eat. She's been sleeping pretty much through the night like this for probably a month and a half and I'm pretty excited that she didn't follow in her sisters footsteps regarding night time habits.
*On a good day she wakes around 8 and naps at 10, 1, and 4, bed at 6:30. Our "good days," are few and far between though since that would require never leaving the house and her schedule never getting altered.
*Sits up unsupported for a short amount of time. Typically doesn't last more than a few seconds before she is distracted by someone or something to dive after.
*Can roll to anything like a pro and tries to push with her feet to go forward which generally results in a face plant with her butt in the air ;-) (Ooops, I guess she probably doesn't find that funny)
*Adores her sister even when she's the object of some rough affection and games.
*Actually will fall asleep in the car - for now anyway. HOORAY! (Kelsie had/has a tendency to try to wake her which is one of the reasons we got a bigger car sooner than absolutely necessary so that I put them on opposite sides which works wonderfully. Hopefully this sleeping in the car is something that will continue, who knows maybe she will wear off on her sister)
*Starting to eat some solids but hasn't quite figured it out, spits most of it out and gags when much gets in. Hopefully she will start improving in this soon. Nurses about every 3 hours during the day.
*Doesn't have much hair and what she does have is looking like it may be lightening up. It looks like she might just be finally starting to get more though.
*You can almost always make her smile, which leads people to believe she is a very easy baby. Unfortunately this isn't the case and her piercing cries aren't as uncommon as we would like especially right before bed during her diaper change or when lying anywhere by herself if she is tired.
*Starting vaccines next week and I'm predicting, based on observations of her personality thus far, that she will scream bloody murder. She likes to make you quite known of what she is feeling.
*Will update with length and weight percentages next Tuesday after her appointment. I'm guessing around 25% weight, 60% height, and 20% head. I'm anxious to get the "official" numbers.
So, what do you think? Do they look alike?

(Karissa and Kelsie each at 6 months)
