Ten Months

TEN months!!  She made it to the double digits!  

Claire is 26 inches long (2nd percentile) and weighs 16lb 5oz (14th percentile). She is wearing 3-6mo clothes.

She has started rocking on her hands and knees. Her favorite thing is bouncing up and down on her knees or when being held. She started clapping this month and waves her arms up and down when we say "yay!" She loves to laugh and she has started "yelling" when she gets excited. She loves attention and has a smile to share with anyone who will give it to her. She also started standing (if propped) but she will only stay if food is involved ;). 

We were able to give her her first "bites" of food at speech therapy and she did fantastic! She has figured out "biting" with her front teeth but not "mashing" with her gums so that is what we are focusing on so that she can move onto things other than pureés. She is also getting pumped breast milk through a preemie nipple.

In physical therapy we are working on crawling, reaching, and putting weight through her arms and legs.

Thank you for loving our girl and for continuing to follow her journey. We appreciate you all so very much!
