Baby Bits - 6 Months

Claire - 6 Months - Week 1

That's right folks: Claire is SIX MONTHS OLD! Unbelievable! She turned six months last Wednesday and she just keeps getting more adorable by the day. She's been making a lot of raspberry noises, especially when we encourage her by making the noises ourselves. She's started looking at her hands. She's learning how to sit without support. She loves yogurt and drinking water from her sippy cup. She'll maneuver her body through rolling and pushing with her feet to get at a toy she wants. Claire also does something else that I've been aware of for a couple of months but until recently thought I was imagining it (and I didn't think anyone would believe me). Now that she's older, it is really obvious that Claire helps us dress her. I'll ask her to stretch her arm through her sleeve and she does it. She'll also stretch her leg out when she sees me rolling up her pants to put them on her. She's a really easy baby on the changing table and I'm thankful for that.

Here are some pictures:

New Year's Eve

The onesie reads "This is my little black dress." I thought it was appropriate for New Year's Eve even if we didn't go to a party.

Growth Spurt - 6 Months

Please forgive my delay in blogging. I thought I might work on it today but Claire started her six month growth spurt yesterday and we're both exhausted. She was up until 11 both Saturday and Sunday nights and she was also up last night at 2 and 4. When I am less sleep deprived, I will post pictures and an update. Have a good Monday!
