Month 7

Dear Claire,

Today you are seven months old. It's been a really busy month. This month you really started taking off with the crawling. You still army crawl, not picking your tummy up off of the floor, but you're super quick.

You are eating like a champ. You still aren't too sure about the Puffs, but you think that the purees are awesome. For some odd reason, prunes are your favorite. And you've had the blow-outs to prove it.

You've still got those crazy blue eyes, and you are so chubby that everyone wants to eat you. Nom nom nom on the baby thighs.

You have seven teeth now, two on the bottom and four on the top. After your canines came in, the two middle teeth came in pretty quickly. So you weren't a vampire for long.
guess it's time to move you out of the bassinet. Since you can stand up in it and all. This month we started putting you to sleep in your own bed. Which is actually a pack and play in the office, because I really don't want you and your sister to wake each other up in the middle of the night.

Thank you for being part of my life. I love you so very much, sometimes it's painful. You smile all the time (unless someone else is holding you, you've got Mama Fever pretty bad) and you have this huge smile where you open your entire mouth and show everyone your tonsils.

Love,

Mama

The G-rated version of the last post.

A few things.

Notice we have 2 mobiles. We apparently couldn't decide.
Notice all of the toys in this bed. No, she has never slept here.
Also, the 2 of Clubs? Um.... 3 and under poker night?

The waving was actually a plea for help.
Probably to alert someone that there are glowbugs in her bed.
Or maybe that she already knows that topless photos always end up on the internet.
