Seven Months Old

Claire hit the seven month mark today. Another month has slipped by before our very eyes...she is now over half way to the one year mark. Crazy! She continues to thrive, develop and amaze us every day!At seven months Claire:

• has become quite the little crawler. She loves to crawl from the living room to the kitchen and from her bedroom to the bathroom. When she is after something, she is FAST!


• can go from a crawling position to a sitting position.


• has just started to pull herself up (see video below). After finding her standing up in her crib twice today, we had to lower her crib to the lowest level.
  
  


• has 4-5 bottles/day and 2 servings of solid food.


• sleeps like a champ overnight and her naps are starting to get better. She had a 2.5-3 hour nap each of the the last three days. We are crossing our fingers that she might be changing her napping patterns!


• has started to "talk". Her vocabulary basically consists of 'da, da'. Art will tell you that she actually says it referring to him, but lets be honest...she is only 7 months old.


• still has no teeth.


• really enjoys swimming, as evidenced by the photos below. We thought it would be a great way to celebrate both her seven month birthday and the beautiful summer weather...Claire apparently disagreed. She loves bathtime, so I am still confused by today's pool episode. I think the inflatable frog pool may have been the problem...

• loves big people toys just as much as little people toys. In particular, she LOVES cell phones, cameras and TV remotes. And today she spent a good 10 minutes with this Target bag.
