1. First, express both growth amounts with a common denominator. Since $$ \frac{3}{4} $$ has denominator 4, we convert it to a fraction with denominator 16:
   $$
   \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 4}{4 \times 4} = \frac{12}{16}.
   $$

2. Now add the two growth amounts:
   $$
   \frac{12}{16} + \frac{7}{16} = \frac{12+7}{16} = \frac{19}{16}.
   $$

3. The fraction $$ \frac{19}{16} $$ can also be expressed as a mixed number:
   $$
   \frac{19}{16} = 1\frac{3}{16}.
   $$

Thus, the baby grew a total of $$ \frac{19}{16} $$ inches, or $$ 1\frac{3}{16} $$ inches, over the two months.
The baby grew a total of $$ \frac{19}{16} $$ inches, which is $$ 1\frac{3}{16} $$ inches, over June and July.
