Milestones: Chloe 7 1/2 months

Chloe started babbling more and making more consenent sounds this week. She has started with "g" "m" and "l". So, she has said, g'ma (grandma), ella, and mama. :) She is very active. She does not like to be held. She likes to be on the floor rolling around. If I put her knees under her, she will rock and looks ready to crawl. It is only a matter of time... I think she may be getting her first tooth too.

Stuck

Chloe was playing really nice on the living room floor this morning so Sophia and I went in the kitchen to work on a project. A few minutes later, Chloe started to fuss. She was nowhere to be seen. I looked under the coffee table and somehow she had perfectly wiggled under. I don't know how she did it. She was right in the middle (see the pics).

Chloe's first taste of solid (semi) food

Chloe had her first taste of baby cereal this evening. She had rice cereal mixed with formula and she really loved it. She smiled really big and laughed. I think she felt like a big girl. Ella and Sophia really got a kick out of it to. It was a lot of fun. Ella even got to take a turn feeding her.

I usually wait a little longer for cereal. Sophia was 6 months. But last night before I put her to bed at 10:30, Chloe nursed for two hours. Then she woke up at three and fussed for an hour before I went in to get her. She then nursed for 45-minutes. So, I thought maybe she was ready. We'll see how tonight goes now. She just had a real little bit since it was her first.

Chloe also rolled over for the first time yesterday and did a couple more times today.

She is getting so big!

Tummy time
She loves to lay and wiggle around and stretch out.
Ella and Sophia laid their babies next to Chloe for a play date. :)
She is having a lot more alert time in the late morning.

Birthday Surprise

Surprise! Chloe Isabella Graham was born Sunday, October 28th at 11:44 a.m. She came three weeks early but weighed in at 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 20-inches long! As you can see, she has beautiful dark black hair. Mommy and baby are doing great. She has two proud and excited big sisters and one proud and excited big daddy:) We brought her home today (my birthday). So now Warren and I each got a new baby for our birthdays - mine was just a little early.

Thank you family and friends for your prayers and well wishes and offers of help (I may actually take people up on their offers this time...)

Thank you wonderful heavenly father for the sweet blessing of another beautiful, healthy, baby girl. Your timing is perfect and your work is amazing!
