Lucy at 49 Weeks

Weight: 20ish I think.  But she doesn't get weighed until after her birthday. 

Medical Issues: Just getting over a seasonal cold right now -- some coughing and snotty nose stuff. But I think that's just par for the course the next few months, especially with her crawling all over and putting everything in her mouth. 

Sleep: About two naps a day. She's getting much better at not throwing a fit when we lay her down -- it rarely happens at night. It's like she just knows it's sleepy time and goes down without a peep. Her wakeup time is about 6:30 every day -- sometimes 7. Never thought I'd see the day! 

Clothes: Averaging 9 month clothing. 

Social:  Her verbal skills have been really improving this week. She tries so hard to communicate. While I don't know if they're actual words she will say things like dada, yeah, book, yuck and our favorite nonsense word -- mm-bah. I bet it means something to her though. She's consistently happy around everyone she meets -- her ultimate favorite are strangers. The stranger the better. 

Food: Purees and pouches and table foods and formula. It's fun giving her new foods to try. This week she's had cheese, noodle, roast beef, eggplant, hamburger.

Play: Loves taking all the books off the shelf and climbing on things she shouldn't. Huge fan of wrestling and chasing Dad. Loves tickle fights and being tossed in the air. When you tell her no, she tends to think it's a game and just laugh at you. 

Milestones:  Really verbal now and can stand unassisted for a few seconds until she realizes what's happening. LOL And first pumpkin patch!
