Clara is 7 Months Old!

{FEEDING}

• Clara eats 5 6 ounce bottles of breast milk every 3 hours. She has her first bottle around 5:30 in the morning. Her second feeding is a bottle, some oatmeal and a jar of fruit. Her second feeding is a bottle only. Her third feeding is a bottle and a jar of veggies (squash is her absolute favorite!) Her fourth feeding is a bottle. Then her fifth feeding is a bottle and a jar of veggies. So far she has had squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, bananas, pears, peaches, prunes, and apples.

{SLEEPING}

• Little bit is still sleeping through the night in her room. She's a great little sleeper. She takes GREAT naps for Miss Jessica...as in two 1 to 2 hour naps each day. That's a different story when I have her for nap time. She will take two 30 minute naps when she's with me. I like to think it's because she misses me during the week. :)

{CLOTHING}

• Clara is still in size 3 Pampers (Cruisers). They still seem to fit great...and no major blow outs!
• She wears size 9-12 month clothing. However, it always depends on the brand and how much the clothing shrinks. I'm so happy the weather is getting warmer so I can put her in sundresses and BUBBLES! There's nothing cuter than a baby in a bubble. :)

{PERSONALITY}

• I've never met a happier, more joyful baby. She loves everyone and everything. She is so laid back and is truly a champ when it comes to going out to eat, running errands, etc.
• She loves to sit in her Baby Einstein jumper. She "bounces" aka bobs her head and body back and forth. It's hilarious and precious all at the same time!
• She loves to sit on her blanket and play with her toys. Cooper often lays right beside her so she can grab at him. He's so good with her and so gentle. She's crazy about her puppies.
• She loves to be read to. We read each night. She reaches for the pages and wants to put them in her mouth.
• She crawls...backwards. Or should I say creeps backwards.
• She absolutely loves to be sung to. When we sing her "Clara" song...she flaps those little arms and bounces around. What a doll!Each month just keeps getting better and better. I am the luckiest mommy in the world!
