Doesn't everyone mark the milestone of 16 1/2 months? I have obviously failed at monthly updates, but I felt it was time to record how little Lucy is doing.
We are constantly asked - is she walking? And our answer is always "No, not yet." For months - the same answer. The kid started crawling at a year though, give her time.
In the past few weeks she has made some real progress! She has started standing up on her own, cruising around more than crawling and has actually taken 4-5 steps at a time. Now it is just a matter of time before she takes off!
Weight: About 17lbs.
- She cut her top two teeth about a month ago and just this week her bottom 2 molars cut through.
- Eats everything we eat. With her teeth she is able to start biting things on her own, like bananas and toast. Favorites - oatmeal, quinoa, bananas, cheese, soup, applesauce, raw broccoli and eggs - really most things. She has decided to not eat black beans all of a sudden.
-Hands down her favorite thing to eat are apples. Whole apples. We say its like giving a dog a bone - something to eat and something to keep her entertained. She can't bite the skin, but once the skin is off, she can eat an entire apple. She carries them around and even crawls with them. Its quite the sight.
- When we stopped nursing so abruptly, I gave her a bottle to ease the transition. Well, this month I was sick of washing bottles. Going to a sippy cup was almost as hard as weaning. I think we have finally made the transition though.
-Loves when we read books
-eyes are still blue
-has started waking up earlier - like 6:45 or 7.
- Has basically given up the morning nap. She would love to nap from 11-2, but I refuse to serve lunch twice, so she now naps from about 1-4. I try to get lunch earlier, but its a mental block in my life.
-Words: Mommy (everyone and everything is Mommy), Dada - only when he's not around to hear it and she is looking for him, puppy, Yayya for Mya (although she calls Addiosn Yayya too).
-Size 5 diapers because when you order mass quantities from Amazon, you want to make sure she can wear them all. They are pretty big on her.
-Mostly 9 or 12 month clothes. She can still wear some 6 months, but due to weather change, its mostly 12 month.
-still likes traveling in the Ergo on my back
- loves to dance with her sisters
-loves gum and will search out my purse to find some
Favorite toys - putting blocks in buckets and the play kitchen
- Still rear facing in the car seat. Longest I have ever kept a child rear facing I think.
-Went through about a 2 month period of seperation anxiety. Screaming whenever I dropped her off at the nursery or put her down really. It think it coincided with her two top teeth coming in as well. Thankfully I think we are beginning to move out of that stage.
-Such a sweet, fun loving little girl!!
