7 Months

Sorry for the picture overload--baby girl is just too cute!



Claire's picked up speed this month; between her rolls and scoots (still mostly backwards to her frustration), she gets around pretty well. She can go from the floor back to sitting position and does some rocking on her knees. She loves to move!




She got her second tooth and her first tiny tastes of food (avocado, rice, and sweet potato). Time to pull out the high chair, as her brothers request daily!




Claire adores her brothers and enjoys interacting with people--so quick to smile. She loves going about and out in the sling, silently watching the world around her. She is not a fan of being away from mama for more than a few minutes.




Claire visited her eighth state (or ninth depending on how one counts DC): Nevada. While not a fan of long car trips, she loved the sand and snow. So much texture to explore!






She takes a solid 1.5-2 hour nap in the morning and in the afternoon and still sleeps well at night. Although, she is my worst co-sleeper, so if she does wake at night, it takes a long time to resettle her.





She started growing hair this month and has sadly mastered taking off hats and bows. 





We all think she's absolutely wonderful!

6!

Elijah turned six!

He requested cinnamon rolls for breakfast and the science center for his activity.


Elijah designed and decorated his cake--Revolutionary War themed! He also set up all the supplies, as evidenced by the pile of marshmallows.




We had a happy evening celebrating Elijah's birthday with my family, but sadly missing Dustin. He requested rice noodles with plum sauce, grapes, and corn.







And the next morning looked like legos, legos, legos!
