Claire's 6 month check up

Wow! Where has the time gone? I cannot believe Claire is just about 6 months old already! She is so much fun and we are absolutely loving each and every minute we spend with her.

Claire had to get 4 shots at her 6 month check up. It was horrible because as we were waiting for the nurse to come in with the shots, Claire fell asleep. When the nurse came in, I had to put her on the cold table, which woke her up. Of course she wanted to be held and be put back to sleep, but instead, she got stuck with 4 needles. My poor baby. At least she is young enough where she won't remember the trauma! She weighs 18 pounds 7 ounces (90%) and is 26.25 inches long (75%). She is doing all of the things that are expected at her age and we got the green light on starting some meats with her. I didn't think I was ready to start feeding her foods, but it turns out we are having lots of fun with it. I am making our own baby food which I really enjoy. We tried zucchini last night and she liked it. The only food Claire didn't seem to like was green beans. I am going to try them again after a few nights of zucchini.

I have been having a hard time keeping Claire's socks on. As you can tell in the picture, it is probably because she likes to stretch them to the max! Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoy posting the growth of our little girl. We miss y'all in MN and cannot wait to come visit again.
