Lucy at 47 Weeks


Weight: 20ish I think. Sometimes I lift her and think she's heavier than the day before, but that could be in my head! 




Medical Issues: We're over a tummy bug from 2 weeks ago and getting over a little cold from last week. Think she has teething pain, but it's hard to tell because she's been eternally teething. She's back to her fussy mood swings in the morning. It's super hard to put her down while I need to rush around the house getting us ready to head out the door. Also a lot of crankiness at dropoff. 


Sleep: She's been averaging 2 naps a day, down from 3. But the length still isn't solid. She goes to bed around 8 pm pretty consistently and wakes up around 6:30 am. Now that it's colder, I've been putting her in fleece footie PJs -- at least until we bring the space heater back in her room. When she wakes up in her crib or when she is mad I put her down for a nap, she'll crawl to the corner of the crib that faces the door and just rock on all fours. She can do that for a long time. 


Clothes: Most things between 6-12 months. I am realizing I may have overdid it on the 12 months winter clothes because they don't quite fit and it's getting chilly out there! Dressing her now is interesting because I have to think more about separates instead of one piece rompers and dresses. And I have to think about shoes soon too! 




Social:  Babbles a lot. Can say things that sound LIKE hi, bye, duck, book. Is only skittish around my immediate family, which is just so weird. 



Food: Purees and pouches and table foods and formula. I really need to get serious about decreasing her formula intake so she has room for three solid meals a day in prep for the big ONE. Had her first Pudgies Pizza and pumpkin donut from DD.


Play: Her musical table and Zany Zoo. Likes looking at and touching books. 




Milestones:   Her honorary grandparents babysat her while we went out on a date! She did well, from what we hear. :) 










Lucy at 45 Weeks


Weight: Probably around 20 lbs by now. Thinning out even more. Who would have thought I'd have a tall, lanky kid?! 




Medical Issues: A little snottiness. Popping two times a day during the week now. Probably some teething pain. Now has six teeth!! 





Sleep:  She sleeps until 6:30 am during the week and on Sunday she slept in until 7:30 am. Hallelujah! Her naps are pretty regular in that there's three a day. She can usually do hour stretches now -- sometimes longer. 


Clothes: Noticing she fits 6 month tops and dresses better than her 9 month stuff, yet 12 month pants fit her best in length.

Social: Started showing some Mommy preference recently. If I leave the room, she looks around for me and then wails. 



Food: Mainly purees, but trying to increase her table foods because I'm getting the hunch she gets frustrated being spoonfed. I will give her anything I think she can not choke on and that's not complete junk. Most of it ends up on the floor, but she does try everything I put in front of her.

Play: Her musical table and Zany Zoo. Likes looking at and touching books. 





Milestones:  Ran her first 5K!
