Moving Right Along

Clairey turned seven months old this week!  Equally monumental: we're five days into avocados and it looks like our "Hooray! List" is about to get a little bit longer!  Claire has been testing new food in the morning and then eating her old foods for "dinner" with the family.  Tonight I was able to sneak a little bit of banana into her beloved pears... She didn't even flinch :) 

We've adjusted well to our new eating schedule and I think it's improving our sleep schedule, too.  After our 17 pound weigh-in, I felt comfortable to nix the last, lingering night feeding (by the way, I feel like every pound is a medal of honor--those lbs. were hard earned!).  After an exruciating 2-hour cry-it-out session the first night, the next night was 45 minutes, and the third night was... peaceful.  I've waited seven long months for an uninterrupted night of sleep and it was... dreamy :)
