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.

Mary Claire you are SIX months old!

I can't believe half a year has passed!

You weigh 13 lbs 12 oz.


You are 25 1/4".


Your head is 43 cm.





Your are in infant prefolds with small Thirsties covers. The Bumkis weren't working so well because of the vent in the back.



You wear size 3-6 month clothes.


You made your first road trip to Mansfield, MO to the home of Laura Ingalls Wilder. You were great! No fussing or anything.



You can almost sit up when propped. You get a little carried away and topple over.



You visited the steam engine when it came through Bald Knob. Granddaddy and Raegen met us there.


You seem to be working on a tooth as you drool. A. LOT.

You frequently have your tongue out of your mouth.


You are an absolute joy and delight!

You love to dip anything!

Yes, I'm sure you are really a Witcher. ;-)

You don't talk very much but prefer to be quiet.




You suck on your middle fingers on your right hand.

You hate wearing shoes and take them off as quickly as possible.

You wear a medium Thiristies diaper cover.

You smile all the time.



You think Madisyn is a pretty good Mommy substitute.

You went to the ER shortly after your 2nd birthday and received four stitches after falling off the lawn mower trailer.

You are a cuddle bug when you get just the smallest bit tired.

You may be the smallest Witcher boy but your sense of adventure is just big as Ty's.

You have grown and changed so much and we're incredibly blessed to have you in our lives!
