Lucy - 9 months

Our Sweet Lulu is 9 months old!!  I am realize its been a few months since I posted an update, so I'll try to catch you up on all that Lucy is doing.  


Weight: Doing the hold her and stand on my bathroom scale method - about 13lbs.    

-Eating lots of table food and still doing cereal with squeeze baby food when I'm in a hurry or when we are traveling.  So far she will eat anything!  Loves eggs, blueberries, rice, peas and strawberries.  

- LOVES to laugh!  We call it the polite laugh - like you would politely chuckle at someone whose joke you don't understand.  She is so interactive, especially with the girls.  I love watching them together. 

-Love to read books.  Ok, maybe she just likes to play with the books, but gets very excited to sit in the rocking chair because she knows its book time. 

-eyes are still blue - I am confident they are going to stay blue! Yay!

-When we got back from Christmas break, we stopped swaddling her.  She would roll over in the swaddle, which was not good. 

-Rolling all over, but still not crawling.  Totally ok with that.  She's just like Mya!

-Tolerates her exersaucer, but would much rather be held or rolling around on the floor. 

-Eating schedule: still wake up around 7:30, although went through a short time of waking up at 6 or 6:30.  That was not tolerated well.  
11:30 or 12:00
3:30 or 4:00
8:00 or 8:30

-Sleeps for 11-12 hours

-No longer crying when she goes down for nap or bedtime.  Maybe a minute or so here and there, but mostly just lays down and goes to sleep.  

-Likes to hold her paci and play with it. 

-Size 3 diapers, probably going to go to 4 soon.

-Size 3-6 months clothes, but I put her in some 9 month.  They are too big, but they are what I have for winter clothes and they will work for the next few weeks of winter. 

-still likes traveling in the Ergo.

-Her hair is so long a binder or bow is not really optional anymore.

-Is still pretty flexible with her schedule.  Occasionally though, she lets us know if the schedule gets out of hand and she gets really tired. 

-favorite toys are random objects like bowls or spoons.  She is already constantly reaching for the remote and my phone.  Crazy!

-sweet, sweet girl!!! Seriously, the happiest baby 99% of the time!


A few weeks ago, I had mastitis (again!) and she had a little cold.  Poor thing kept me company...

Love our sweet Lulu!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
