What can I say?! Clare's a big girl! She is still primarily breastfed, with a few solids here and there. We gave her sweet potatoes right at 6 months and have also tried apples. Both went well, I'm just not too motivated to go gung ho on the solids yet. So, we'll stick with breastmilk for now.
She's in 9 and 12 month clothing. She hates to wear pants (or anything with a waistband) and those little "creeper" outfits (that snap around the thighs are pretty snug on her legs. So, dressing her this summer has been a bit of a challenge. Lots of dresses and onesies!
Right around 13 weeks, she started consistently rolling from her back to her belly. She still can't roll from belly to back, though. She gets really frustrated on her belly.
She started sitting on her own right before turning 6 months. She's pretty stable sitting up and she loves it! I think it makes her feel more independent - or it makes he belly feel better. Standing is a different story! You'd think, with those legs, she's be good at it. Haha
Clare just had her first teeth come in (right at 6 months) - her 2 bottom ones. We had one rough night, but it wasn't too bad.
She's a decent sleeper. She usually gets up twice at night to nurse - around 2 and 5:30. She goes to bed around noon and gets up around 7:30. She was only taking naps in our arms up until last week. I started some gentle sleep training and she now will sleep in her crib with almost no fussing! Alleluia! She still will wake up after 30 minutes (can't get past that first sleep cycle), but I'm there to pat her and she goes right back to sleep now. This is such a relief to me!
She loves watching her brother and thinks he's hilarious. And he is so good with her. If she cries, he starts singing "his" song to her (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.) Or he'll say, "Your big brother's here," in a sweet voice. The other day, I was in the kitchen and they were together in the living room. He got up to leave and she started fussing a bit. I look in and he says to her in a sweet voice, "Don't worry, I'll be right back." It does my heart good to hear stuff like that.
