Claire turned 6 months on August 25th! I can't believe she is already 6 months, time is going by way too fast! She started eating solid foods this month. So far she has had banana, avocado, sweet potatoes, peas, pears and squash. She has really loved them all! She loves to reach for your cup now and loves to drink water out of it. She seems to be skipping bottles and sippy cups and going straight for the real thing! She is really close to crawling. She gets up on all fours and scoots. Her favorite toy plays music and lights up. She already is "hamming" it up for the camera too - she can be fussing and if you bring out either your phone to take a picture or the camera and say smile - she stops fussing and puts on a pretty smile :)
Just got back from the doctor for her 6 month appt and here are the stats:
Height - 24.75 inches - 10%
Weight -13 lbs 14oz - 10%
Head - 16.5 inches - 25%

Before heading to the beach for the week, Claire and I stayed in Hampton while David was out of town. Our timing wasn't the best as Hurricane Irene decided to come visit as well! We were evacuated out of my parent's house by a police car driving through the streets on loud speaker. So we all headed up to Barbara and Jack's in Williamsburg. Power went out early on Saturday and I'm so thankful that Mom and Dad were there to help me keep Claire entertained :) Luckily everyone's house survived without any major damage or flooding and we were able to get to the beach only 1 day late!
