Mary Claire you are TEN months old!

that means a year is approaching WAY too quickly!

You are still the runt and haven't broken 15 lbs yet. I think you might be a petite girl.

You can still fit in 3-6 month clothes but your fall wardrobe is 6-9 and 12 month. Looks like we'll be rolling some sleeves up. ;-)

You have been found in a sitting up position a few times but we aren't sure that you didn't have help getting there.


You visited the Pumpkin Patch for the first time on your 10 month birthday. Despite the way this picture turned out, you had a good time.

You have decided that the car seat is evil. You frequently arch your back and begin to scream when I put you in it.

You have also become a handful in church. There is just too much to see to take a nap. No nap means a cranky little girl. I've spent quite a few Sunday services standing in the back or in the nursery.



You love to play with your brother's trains. Someone always has a couple and they are the perfect size for your little hand.

You eat most everything and LOVE chicken. You also prefer to feed yourself.

Using the sippy cup still tends to leave you wet, but you're getting the hang of it.

You nurse about 4 times a day for about an hour total.


You are "Mommy's Sweet Little Pumpkin"!

Mary Claire you are NINE months old!

and you never quite moving!

Your arms are constantly flapping.

You don't have any teeth yet but your tongue seems to be feeling for some all the time!

You sleep about 12 hours at night.


You are our little peanut.

You still wear 3-6 month clothes (as long as they aren't one piece or pants).

You wear a size 2 shoe.

You haven't grown a lot physically in the last month but your personality sure has.


You are always smiling.

You get up on all fours and rock but crawling hasn't happened yet.

You had your first sleepover with Ellison. Granddaddy spent a few nights in the hospital so you and I went to Aunt Robin's house.

You are such a delight!

Catching up

I've had internet issues that I believe to finally be resolved. I hope to catch the blog up so be sure you scroll back to May. ;-)

Mary Claire you are EIGHT months old!

You weigh 14 lbs 14.5 oz.

You are 26.5 inches long.

You wear a size 2 shoe.

You wear size 3-6 month clothes.

You have discovered baby food (and don't really care for it).

You love to mouth bread. You don't really eat much of it with no teeth but you lick it all over. LOL

You sleep 12-14 hours a night.

We love to watch you flip and flop on the video monitor. You are never in the same position.

You love to suck your thumb and don't like the pacifier at all.

You've discovered hanging out in the pool. You sit in the floatie and your feet move like a duck.

You also like to hang out in the Jumperoo.

Your hair is coming in quite thick and a few light hairbows can go in without a band.

You are doted on by all your brothers (and sister!). They can't stand for you to whimper.

You are almost ALWAYS smiling!

Mary Claire you are SEVEN months old!

You weigh 14 lbs. 2 oz.

You are 26"

You are still wearing 3-6 months clothes and small diapers.


I decided to do some pictures without a hair bow because I doubt most people would recognize you! LOL

You celebrated your first 4th of July with a smocked flag dress. Mommy hopes you can wear it with capris next year.

You are still drooling but have 0 teeth to show for all the effort.

You are so happy that you often giggle just smiling at people.

You wear a size 2 shoe {and may have more than necessary. ;-) }


You still suck your right thumb but you do it very daintly. Your hand is rarely in a fist and the back of your hand touches your cheek.

You like to wad up your satin/minkee blanket and touch it to your face.

You love to play with your toes!

You have sat in restaurant high chairs several times. Your sitting with no support is still a little wobbly.
