Bye, Bye Baby Bouncer


Now that Claire can sit up, she can no longer sit in the baby bouncer since she could tip it over, so it's packed up and ready for storage/to be given away. It joins the ranks of the bassinet (already returned to Grandma), co-sleeper, and swaddle blankets in the category of "baby items that Claire has outgrown." [sniff, sniff] I need to take the bassinet insert out of the Pack 'N Play because she exceeds the weight limit, and I should start looking for a bigger car seat since, at 18 pounds, she's closing in on its weight limit too.

And in other Claire news, she has really started babbling now (especially fun at 4 AM). Her new "word" is dada, though it comes out as "da da da da da." We've also started experimenting with solid food. We started with prunes since she already has a little bit of apple-prune juice every day to ease her constipation issues (hooray for apple-prune juice!). Today she "ate" a little bit of overly-ripe mashed banana (eating = grimace and spit out offending substance along with a massive amount of drool).
