Dear Lucy,
Oh my sweet girl, you just keep growing and growing! You are a sunshiney-y, engaged, and observant little girl. Your biggest milestone this month is learning to sit up unassisted! For awhile, you wouldn't even allow your body to bend when I tried putting you into a sitting position; it took you all of a week to get decent at it. I only let you sit without me as a spotter when you're on something soft like the bed, couch, or grass. If you turn your head too quick, you topple.
You still love people ... when we're out in public strangers are drawn to you because you beam at anyone who looks at you. And if you don't immediately it only takes a few seconds for the smile to wash over your face. Your smiles are epic, by the way. You can't help but smile when you're smiling. Which is a lot. You're the smiley-est baby I've ever seen. I once woke you up from a nap and you beamed at me.
You love playing with toys now-- your favorites are the exersaucer, links, Sophie, and stacking blocks. You are interested in adult things too, like the remote, the iPhones, bags of chips... I have to get used to reacting to your quick movements now that you're so grabby and interested in everything.
You have been sleeping all night in your crib for about a month now. While I'm super happy about it, I'm not as happy about the 5:30 am wakeup calls every morning. Guess you're an early bird like your mama. Someday I'll have to yank you out of bed to catch the bus, but for right now you'd rather wake us up.
Your latest trick is blowing raspberries -- aka spritzing your drool all over the place. Which ... oh my gosh, kid, you're the biggest drooler ever! I've had to buy new bib sets almost every weekend the way you go through them. Health-wise, you had an excellent month. I can probably attribute that to your new daycare (fewer germs). Keep it up, Buggy!
I love you so much, sweet muffin.
Love, Mommy
