Just a quick post to wish everyone a (belated) Merry Christmas!! I hope y'all had a wonderful day with friends and family. Bo and I hosted a brunch for our family, which meant that for the majority of the day, our house was crowded and filled with laughter and love. No better way to spend the day! And, of course, the munchkin thoroughly enjoyed her first Christmas. Surprisingly enough, she was actually more interested in the presents than in the wrapping paper. :)

Anyway, back to work for a little bit. I hope everyone continues to enjoy the holiday season, and if I don't check back in beforehand (although I fully intend to do so), Happy New Year!!
Love,
Val
P.S. Oops ... I just looked back at prior posts and realized that I never did one for Claire's 7 month birthday. As always, Claire continues to amaze us. She can sit up on her own (although she is not *quite* ready to pull herself up into a sitting position) and is thinking about crawling. I am in no hurry for her to master that skill since it is nice to be able to put her down and know that she will pretty much stay in that spot until I pick her up again. :) Claire eats a wide range of baby foods (we have now fully moved to the Stage 2 foods), although she much prefers to test out whatever the big people are eating. She has had a little cold, but, aside from being a little snot factory, it hasn't affected her in the slightest. I will try to make sure I provide updates for her 8 month birthday, but the biggest update will probably come in February, when she has both her 9 month check up and her next follow-up appointment with Dr. F.
