Puppy Love

We spent the 4th of July weekend at the lake and much to everyone's delight there is a new puppy! He is 7 weeks old and a bundle of energy and fun. Claire loved being around the puppy and the two older dogs as well as the other 3 kids who were there! Our house seems kind of quiet and boring compared the lake house with the Slappeys and Duncans! It was fun to see Claire with the other kids (Reuben, Judith and Solomon) and it makes me look forward to when she is toddling around and playing with them.
Claire had her 6 month check up today and is doing great! She is in the 90th percentile for height and weight and thriving. We started solid foods last week which is an adventure. She did fine with cereal and tolerated squash but drew the line at peas which she promptly gagged on and threw up! Oh well!
