6 Months (...and now 7 Months)!

With all that went on last month, I didn't get a chance to write Claire's 6 month post.  And as things go with me, I am so late with that now I thought to combine her 6 and 7 month post, because as of yesterday, Claire Bear is...well, yes, 7 months!

Claire's stats from her 6 month checkup:

17lbs 6.8 oz
26.5 inches

I got the courage to ask Claire's non-percentile-giving doctor what her percentiles were for these stats and he said, "about the 75th for both."  That's good enough for me, Mr. Doctor - thank you.

Claire started baby foods and some solids food last month and hasn't had anything she didn't like.  I'm not getting overly excited about that, because Avery was the same way, but from about 15 months until recently, all Avery ate was cottage cheese and hot dogs.  (Avery is getting better at eating, and enjoying, a variety of food...she's not asking for sushi or seasoned broccoli just yet, but we've definitely made progress with her palate.)

Claire continues to be smitten by Avery...and the same goes the other way.

Turn your volume up for these videos...

Other Claire pics...

She got a kick out of sitting like a big girl at Sprouts.

Look.  At.  That.  Face.
(And, I just noticed posting this pic that she is rocking a barely-buttoned top.  Ha - show your stuff, girl!)

Love how she can just chill.

Love how she can fall asleep on walks.

Her new favorite thing - grabbing anything and everything.  Object of her desire in this photo: my cell phone.

Getting too big for her swing.  This day has come too quickly.

My view when she's in the Ergo.  

Claire loves to jump.  Her jumperoo is one of her favorite places to practice this skill!

Claire continues to enjoy all the noises she can make.  And, so do we.
