6 Months!

Claire is halfway to her first birthday! It's so hard to believe.


Isn't she just a cutie patootie?!

She likes to hang out with me when I'm getting ready in the morning.

Stats from her 6-month checkup:
  • 17 pounds, 13 ounces...up from 17 pounds last month and 9 lbs, 3 ounces at birth
  • 28 inches...up from 27 inches last month and 21 inches at birth.
Baby girl is growing so fast and we're loving every minute of it. I never realized I would be able to love my third child as much as I loved my first child. She is so precious and the sweetest little thing.

Also, I finally decided to give her some solid foods. I had a big goal to exclusively breastfeed Claire for the first 6 months...no formula, no food, nothing else. Mission accomplished.

First food on the menu...delicious rice cereal!




She actually did pretty well, despite the mess. She's slowly getting used to the idea of eating solids.


Other cool things Claire is doing:
  • army crawling across the floor
  • spitting - especially entertaining when you're feeding her peas.
  • smiling anytime anyone starts talking to her
  • sitting up all by herself!
  • generally being the best baby ever
Love this little girl to pieces.
Peace out.
