Amazing how time flies. I can’t believe that my baby is half way to a year old already. Carlyn is such a happy baby. At six months she was working on crawling and now has figured it out. She still doesn’t sit on her own for too long. She is doing a lot of babbling, most da da, and her squeaky laughter make my heart sing.

Carlyn is very easy going and not as attached to me as Rosa was when she was little. I think it probably has a lot to do with my ease and mindset, as when Rosa was little I hated leaving her every day for work.
