I want to use this blog kind of like a scrapbook - something I can use as reference (When was it that she got her first tooth? When did she start crawling?) and something she can look back on later (so feel free to add comments on these posts for a grown Lucy girl to read some day!).
Since I didn't start blogging right away, this will be a catch up post for me of Lucy milestones. Maybe next I will come back and write out her birth story...
Height and weight (if we had a doctor appointment that month, the stats are from there, if not - we had a baby scale at home and daddy measured her height):
1 month old - 8.9lbs 22"
2 months old - 10.4lbs 23"
3 months old - 12lbs 24"
4 months old - 13.7lbs 24.25"
5 months old - 15lbs 24.25"
6 months old - 16.65lbs 25"
7 months old - 17.12lbs 26"
8 months old - 18.4lbs 26"
9 months old - 19.6lbs 27"
10 months old - 19.15lbs 27"
Cord stump fell off at - 16 days old (yay! That thing was gross and we were not sad to see it go!)
First smile - 6 weeks old (over Mother's Day weekend...aaawwwwww!)
Baptism - 2 months old
First time in the bumbo - 2.5 months old
First time in exersaucer - 3 months old
Rolled from belly to back - 4 months old
First night in her room / bed (as opposed to the bassinet in our room) - 4.5 months old (this makes me sad just typing it...how weird...haven't thought about it in forever but I absolutely loved having her right next to me! Through my pregnancy I vocalized my intentions to have her moved into her own room before I ever went back to work...how silly I was! I knew nothing!)
First food - 4.5 months old (sweet potatoes while sitting in the bumbo on the kitchen counter)
Rolled from back to belly - 5 months
Ate rice cereal - 5 months old
First time in high chair - 5 months & 2 days old
Sat up alone - 5.5 months old
First fever - 7 months (had a viral infection and had to go to the doctor's on Halloween...not a milestone we were looking forward to...)
First tooth - 7 months, 1 week (bottom left...though the doctor said Lucy had a viral infection, we couldn't help but wonder if teething was part of the issue when she had the fever)
Second tooth - 7 months, 1.5 weeks (bottom right)
Started eating puffs - 7 months (yum! And by 10.5 months, she'd figured out how to remove the lid herself and stick her entire arm down for a fist full)
Believe it or not - she was swaddled ("double bundled") until 7 months!! We tried to stop at 5 or 6 and she wasn't ready...
Started sitting up in the baby tub - 7.5 months (started using the regular tub at around 10 months)
First word - "duck" at 10 months (by 10.5 months she also said "dog" "dada" and maybe even "mama" - the jury's still out on whether she actually means me when she makes the sound)
First signs - 10 months...she picked up these very quickly: more, ball, eat, milk (and she just started doing the sign for "water" at nearly 11 months)
Crawled - 10 months exactly!
First steps - Around 10-10.5 months old...she's taken a few tentative steps and has started crawling even more...we'll probably have a walker for real within the next few weeks
So as we approach her 11 month birthday, she has 2 teeth but may be cutting a couple more (she won't let me look!) and she's a crawling machine! When she first figured it out, I thought she'd be all over the place but it took her a couple of weeks to realize the power she had there and to really get into a groove with it. Now she's sooooo darn fast! She's like a magician getting from one place to another in record time...and quietly!
She just recently started doing patty-cake and she really loves to clap! She also does "so big!"
She can point to her belly if you ask where it is and when you ask where her feet are, she lifts her leg! She can reach for your hair or her own hair if you ask where it is, too.
She gives hugs and high fives upon request (when she's in the mood) now!
We couldn't love this little Lucy girl any more...she's simply perfect and the most beautiful, hilarious, wonderful, smart, sweet little girly we could ever have imagined!
