Wow the time just got away from us so this is a two month update. I guess the summer months just must be crazy or mom brain really does exist and I've become forgetful. Our summer was really good, we spent a lot of time with our little family. Daniel worked full time throughout the summer so that left me and Lucy to spend a lot of time together. We both missed him a lot, L missed him so much that she could be having the worst day and then all of a sudden her day is made when Dad comes home. Its the cutest thing to see those two. Daniel started school a couple weeks ago and this semester is going really well for him and his schedule is pretty perfect for all of us. L has really changed a lot these last few months and has hit a lot of milestones and gained this whole new personality. Here's some updates :)
- at about 8 1/2 months she started walking
-went from just one meal of baby food to two
-loves most foods
-met a great 2 great aunts
-shes currently wearing between 9-12 and some 18 month clothes. Shes very long and skinny
-loves Dads soccer balls, she pretty much loves any ball she can get her hands on.
- started sleeping with a little bunny stuffed animal to help with sleep
-went through a few weeks of rough sleep but always seems to get back on schedule
-started taking 2 naps and they a pretty long now
- loves puff snacks
-learned to hold her sippy cup
-loves loves loves going outside to the playground
-loves to climb anything. She started to clime up the playground
- She seems to be very interested by older children an doesn't want to hang with babies her age. I think just because shes on a whole new developmental stage then a lot of kids her age.
- At her 9 month appointment she was 28 inches tall, 19 lbs
-The doctor was very impressed with how much she could do and just commented on how advanced she was. We hope she keeps this up when she enters school ;)
-She tried ice cream for the first time (shes a huge fan)
- She has a new trick of handing you stuff but then running off before you have a chance to take it.
- She laughs if were laughing at something
-She raises her eyebrows a people
-She finally started clapping and waving
-She really likes reading time with dad, but just resonantly we think shes getting tired of her books because looses interest.
-We took some adorable 9 m pictures just around our community
-L is pretty naughty sometimes and doesn't listen when shes doing naughty things. We usually find her playing with moms laptop cord or taking dads school books off the shelf, or two new favorites raising the toilet seat and turning on the fan.
-went to the provo library and the paleontology museum
-she takes the best selfies with mom and dad
-we like to do dance parties with her and just hold her and dance. Tonight we put on some music and told her to dance and she started dancing. Its so cute she just keeps bending her legs and bouncing up and down to the beat.
- L's room got a little make over. One of the steps taken to maybe help her sleep at night was to make her room cute and interesting to her. Below ill show what I did on the wall across from her crib. Since doing this I'll hear her when she wakes up just talking to us, yelling ddadddad or mom mmam
- Oh man shes just such a cutie. We're pretty in love with her and love being her parents.
