Claire has also tried her first vegetable! We are on day 3 of sweet potatoes and so far so good. I decided to go with something a little sweeter for her as she still isn't crazy about the rice cereal and has a hard time eating it. I didn't figure she would go crazy for some green beans or peas for her first food.
Claire had a 6 month check-up today. She weighed in at 15lbs 2 oz (25%) and 26 3/4 inches long (75%) and her head was 16 1/2 inches (50%). Other than having a snotty nose like the rest of us she got a clean bill of health and more shots!
Carter also went to the Dr today to confirm his first ever ear infection! After a sleepless night for him and dad (thanks hon for getting up with him) I toted him along to Claire's appointment and was able to get the doc to see him too. Although Carter felt awful, he squeaked out a little smile when Dr Steve told him he had pus in his ear. "Cool" he said. Must be a boy thing. So that makes 2 of the Freeman's on antibiotics this week. Jeremy is also recovering from Strep. Will summer ever get here? We need to open the windows and debug our house! I am taking stock in Clorox wipes!
Carter also had another first a couple of weeks' ago. A strange object fell out of his nose one night while he and dad were having a wrestling match. After looking closer, we determine the object was a kernel of corn...from the corn pit...from OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He quickly admitted that his friend John from preschool told him to do it. We had a long discussion about not putting things up our nose. We were so amazed that it never hurt him or complained about not breathing well!
Claire's first guard dog. Lastly, we celebrated our beloved Max's birthday this past week. He turned 13 on the 31st. It is somewhat bittersweet as we know this will probably be his last birthday. He has beaten most odds and lived this long for a big dog. We wonder if any of his litter mates are still living. We sang Happy Birthday to him and made him a steak dinner and served it to him on a special plate. Max has been through a lot in his 13 years, living in 11 places, surviving the addition of Charlie 5 years ago and then the kiddos.

Happy B-day Max! It was so fun seeing you guys. I can't believe how big Claire is getting next to the teddy bear. Hope you're having a great week.
I remember when you got Max and were hiding him in your duplex off 13th street in Ames. So sneaky!

When I gave Logan his first taste of baby food, it was green beans which now is his favorite. I can't believe how Big! Claire is getting, she really is growing fast.
