She hasn't been eating as well lately. I think that she's sick of her purees, but she's not quite into finger foods yet. The only foods that she really enjoys right now are yogurt and her teething biscuits. I have been eating meals with her at the table so that she knows that we eat meals as a family. For dinner, I have been trying to give her something that Brad and I are eating. She mostly just likes to play with the food though. She also likes to handle the spoon herself, although she ends up flicking most food off of it before it reaches her mouth. Through reading about it online as well as talking to other Moms, I've heard that this is pretty typical. Also, our pediatrician told us that any food besides breast milk or formula is still just practice food (it's not affecting their nutrition yet), so I'm not too worried. I just hope that she gets more into it in the next few months.
Although she is still pretty bald, she is getting some hair. And she seems to be getting some curls. Right now it's really just the hairs behind her ears, but I'm hoping the rest of her hair follows.
Some other milestones and firsts for Clara:
*She is pulling herself up on objects. About a week ago, Brad went to check on her in the night and she had pulled herself up in her crib. We had to lower it to the lowest setting.
*She can wave good-bye.
*She gives hugs.
*She plays coy, smiling and then quickly turning her head into my shoulder.
*She sings with me.
*She went swimming for the first time the other day. She didn't quite know what to make of it, but she started splashing with her hand after a while.
Here are some pics from the day we went swimming (unfortunately I forgot the camera at home, so these are taken post-pool) and yesterday in the backyard.
