PLEASE NOTE: This posting is a little late...like three weeks a little late! I had it all written in March and just kept forgetting to post it. So here it FINALLY is, and next week comes her BIG 1 YEAR POST (tears just thinking about it)
I did go in and add some new info and updates in bold :)
 |
its getting harder and harder to get her to sit still.
As soon as I get her positioned she will flip to her belly and
slide down off the chair. lil' stinker! |
Weight: around 18 lbs
Still a tiny one :)
Length: ??? My guess is around 28 inches
I bet at her next appointment (12 months) she will be close to 30 inches and ready for a new carseat.
Head Circumference: ???? No Clue
Her body seems to be finally catching up to her head size!
Sizes: She is mostly wearing clothes labeled 6-12 months and 9 month. Inless she has a huge growth spurt, which lets be honest...isn't her style, I think we will be in these sizes for awhile. She still has a good amount of room to grow into them.
Social: She is finally giving a clear "mum, mum." She uses the same sound for both me and when she wants "more" food. She is also still doing lots of "dada" and "baba." And even more squealing and giggling. If someone is in her vicinty and not paying attention to her she will squeal and happy scream til they engage and make eye contact with her.
On The Move: I am so frustrated. She is so close to crawling, I mean so close. But she has been so close for a while and we just can't quite seem to get it. Luckily, we have a wonderful Physical Therapist who is able to calm me down and walk me off the cliff of irrational fears and worries. One new thing she is doing is she will spin in a circle, moving just her arms.I just keep reminding myself of how far she has come and the progress she has made. She did this same thing with sitting independently. She was so close to doing it for almost to months before she finally did it.
(As of April 10th she is now slowly army crawling to wear she wants to go!)
Food: We are officially out of baby food. We used the portable food pouches because they were so convenient on our mini vacation to Dallas over Spring break but other than that she is eating finger foods and pretty much what ever we have at meals. I love just being able to feed her whatever we are having and being able to go out to eat with out packing her a meal to take.
Sleep: Ahhh-mazing! She is sleeping almost everynight, though the night for 10-11 hours straight. We usually have her in her crib around 8 and she will start to stir in the morning around 7. It's awesome!
Likes: Being held, looking out windows, playing with mommy and daddy, going on walks, pretty much life in general.
Dislike: playing independently. She wants someone down on the ground interacting with her. Little Miss Social Butterfly.
