I cannot believe how busy this summer has been and how much my little girl has grown! She now weighs 17.5 lbs that is 10.3 lbs more than she weighed at birth. She is also very tall, but in proportion, I think 27 inches. My little girl is not so little anymore.
She is also learning so many new things, I can't get over how quickly she picks up new skills and even more amazing how quickly she gets bored of them and moves on to the next. She has been sitting on her own since June but since then she has learned how to get herself off the floor to sitting, as well as scooting around on her tush, and crawling! She doesn't like to crawl for me but I have caught her in the act a couple times,lol. However when she is at my moms she crawls all over the place. Like I said, though, she has moved on to pulling herself up and is even beginning to use the couch (or whatever) as a guide so she can walk. While I am so excited to watch her learn all of these new things it makes me sad that she is flying through these milestones.
I know that some babies are beginning to talk but Lilly is not, which is ok with me! She does babble a lot and really likes to scream and growl.
Lilly is still nursing full time but we have begun to give her food. For the most part we are skipping purees and such. With the exception of rice cereal mixed with something yummi, in hopes that she will eat something for James while I am at work. I have given up on them using a bottle and have purchased a couple of sippy cups, she loves to drink water out of my glasses. This morning before I left for work she sat on the floor and drank some water from her cup while I folded laundry, yay!
Overall Lilly is doing great, we have started to move towards sleeping in her crib. I still love having her in bed with me so I am not in a rush but I do want her crib to be a comfortable place for her too. Especially as she has become more mobile and things in our lives are starting to change. I am working more and my mom and sisters will be moving in with us soon. With everything that is going on I really want Lilly to have a place that she knows is hers. And I want the people to watch her when I am at work to have a place to put her if need be.
I have to say that I still LOVE our cloth diapers and am so happy that we decided to go this route. I am also happy that people around me are considering using them too! Speaking of, I won't name any names but, I am super excited that I know several couples expecting babies next Spring!
I am not at home right now, so I don't have access to pictures that aren't already up on FB so I will end this with some things about Lilly!
- She loves to ride in the shopping cart at the grocery store
- Her favorite toys are an Eric Carle Ladybug and a Ball that was crocheted for her
-She thinks she is SO FUNNY!
-She scoots around the bed in her sleep
-She is not a huge fan of eating food but loves to nom on paper?!?!
