7 months

At almost 7 months old, Chloe weighed in at 15lbs 2oz at her last MD appt. and was 26.5in long. That's 6lbs 9oz and 4.5in of healthy growth! :) She is growing up so fast, we can hardly believe it! She's now eating much more "solid" food: mostly carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, and zucchini. Surprisingly, the peaches and plums we tried most recently weren't a big hit...too sweet, maybe?! But we will try them again in a few days and start expanding her palate. She tried diluted apple juice for the first time today - seemed to really like that!

On May 24 she cut her first tooth. She surprised us by her happy temperament and ease of cutting her first tooth. Today, she cut the second one. And this was not a happy day at all! She was fussy and in discomfort all day. The Orajel and Tylenol seemed to help some.

David, Chloe and I took a trip to the river yesterday. Chloe's first experience. :) Her Memaw and aunts met us there along with a few friends. She LOVED it! It wasn't too cold and we were the only ones in our spot for a long time. We even let her hang on the rope swing for a little bit. It was a blast (as you can tell by the pictures)!
