Seven Months

A little late getting this posted, but it has been a crazy week.  More on that later!  It is amazing to see the changes a month has brought. Clara is definitely starting to get more independent and her little personality is coming out more and more. She loves nothing more than kicking her socks off and then pretending she doesn't know how it fell off her foot.

Sleeping: We have been having great success with the sleep sack.  She has room to wiggle her legs around but still feels secure enough to just fall right asleep.  We are still getting up once a night.  We don't really have a consistent nap schedule yet. Napping goes well, but we need to try to get a schedule in place.  Something to work on in March!

Eating: We have continued on in the adventure of trying different foods.  We still are mainly nursing and doing formula, but here is what we have tried:

Sweet Potato - a favorite
Sweet Corn Casserole - also a popular choice
Sweet Carrots - liked
Peas - eaten but not overwhelming liked
Chicken and Apples - not a favorite
Squash - hit or miss ... to be determined
Peaches and rice cereal - not liked at all

Weight: Clara is now 13 pounds and 5 ounces.  Doing very well with the eating!

Clothes: Everyday we are retiring a 3 month outfit and moving towards 6 months.  It is so exciting to pull out new clothes and see all the cute outfits we have for the next size.  We are currently working on finding a cute dress for Easter.

Firsts: first road trip to PA (She did excellent in the car), first Valentines, rolling over from belly to back, first Partylite party, first dinner party, first crafting afternoon with the girls!

Likes: the exersaucer, Polar, her musical dog, discovering her hands and feet, raspberries on her belly, her cousin Grace and her Nana and PopPop, and being naked.
