7 months old greeted us not with a whimper but with a roar as Chloe (and her parents) survived her first bad teething experience. 5 sleepless nights, one upset baby, and 2 tired parents--but we survived. We tried everything under the sun to soothe poor Chloe, but all that worked was to hold her all night long. Chloe now has 2 cute bottom center teeth to show for it. At 7 months, Chloe is also scooting around like crazy -mostly chasing after Alex the Cat. She pushes with one foot and drags the other leg, but somehow manages to catch up with Alex every once in a while. She loves dogs as well and has met several. Great-Grandpa's dogs, Patty and Holly, Walter the German Shepard and Russ the Sheepdog. She goes crazy when she sees them. Chloe is also increasing interested in her toys and is learning how to push buttons and turn pages and hug her stuffed sheep (which is practically as big as she is). She is doing well with her solid food and has most recently tried avacado, peas, and carrots. So far she likes it all. She is a little unsure of the bananas and seems to like zucchini the best. We can no longer keep anything on the floor because she sees everything and crawls over to eat it--including shoes or even a piece of lint. We are hopeful her first word will come soon and have been practicing mama and dada and baby. She also had her first cold and visit to the pediatrician where we had to use the sick waiting lobby. No worries, though--just a cold and it passed after about a week or so. Chloe loves bath time and splashes at the water and plays with her rubber ducky. She even sometimes tries to drink the water when we pour it over her head--however she doesn't like to drink water from a sippy cup yet. I guess she hasn't made the connection that the stuff she bathes in is the same stuff in the sippy cup. She weighs about 15 pounds and is wearing true to the clothing sizes of 6-9 months. We packed away 4 bags of clothes that don't fit her anymore. We also finally had our family photo shoot (which was supposed to happen at 6 months, but due to weather it was postponed) and are eager to see how the pictures will turn out.
