7 months

I left for a week in El Salvador on the morning that she turned 7 months - yes, that's right, Spanky and Caroline were home alone for an entire week and both survived - so I didn't get any pictures from the actual date that she turned 7 months, but here's some from a few days before as well as some notables for the month:

- Got her 3rd and 4th teeth in - top two!
- Went to her 7th, 8th and 9th Nationals Baseball Game
- First trip to the zoo (though I don't think she realized that there were any animals)
- First Razorback Watch Party at Trusty's - she's been every week except for one game
- Eating a few more solid foods, but still not loving it
- Mostly in 6 months clothing, but still wearing some 3 - 6 months

"Solids"

Caroline has started on some "solid" foods.  All was going along pretty well for about a week or two and then she learned to combine her bubble blowing skills with her new food eating skills (see video).

The first two pictures are her first taste of solids - rice cereal - but it was so runny that it really just fell right back out of her mouth:

Added a bit more cereal to the mix and much better results:

 



 

Have tried a few fruits and vegetables - so far, sweet potatoes seem to be her favorite:

Then she started to get in two new tooth and decided that these solids were really no fun and that all food should be expelled from her mouth, sometimes with force: https://vimeo.com/48622141

 

We'll keep trying and I am now getting her to get in at least a few bites of food, but she's pretty determined when she doesn't want to eat...maybe she's just holding out for the good stuff.
