Hey everyone,
I thought it would be more fun to write a monthly update from my perspective, rather than Mommy's. Oh yeah, this is Lucy by the way.
So what have I been up to the last month? Well I discovered that my arms and legs can do a whole lot more than I thought they could. On Christmas Day, I finally figured out how to get from my belly to a sitting position. I'd been working on that for months and now it seems so easy. I don't know what took me so long!
And I've also learned that crawling with your belly off the floor is much better than doing that army crawl thing. For one, I can get places much faster, and two, my belly doesn't get rubbed raw when mommy forgets to put a onesie under my shirts.
Oh and did you guys know that if you put your hands on something above you, that you can pull yourself up and see a lot more stuff? It's so cool! I can't believe I've been missing out on it for so long. Mommy even put together a fun table that lights up and plays sounds. It used to belong to Taylor and I guess she missed it because sometimes when I'm playing with it, she comes over and shoves me out of the way. I definitely don't like that but Mommy and Daddy are pretty good about telling her not to do that and giving her a different toy to play with.
I still love eating fruit and vegetable purees. One day Miss Monica tried giving me mushed up spaghetti....who is she kidding? I tried spitting out every single bite. It's not her fault though...Mommy thought I would like it. Mommy thought wrong. Maybe I can try it again once more of my teeth come in.
Yep I said more teeth. I finally got my first tooth the other day. Man, those things sure do hurt. They kept me up a lot at night and I thought it was only fair to keep Mommy and Daddy up too. That's what they're there for right? But now that it's broken through, I've been sleeping much better. In fact, they put me back in the crib in the nursery. I guess they were worried I would wake up Taylor and then she wouldn't go back to sleep without her pacifier. I'm not sure what the big deal is about having a pacifier....I love mine! Although, for some reason I'm only allowed to have it for sleeping. Maybe it's to keep me quiet at night.
I sure do make a lot of noise. I love jabbering to anyone who will listen. And I love imitating the fun sounds my sister makes. Like right now, she'll do this high pitched scream and it is really fun to make that noise! I plan on doing it a lot more. I'm also working on some words. Mommy and Miss Monica are pretty sure I know the word "ball." I think they want me to work on saying "dada" and "mama." Well I sometimes say those, but not necessarily when I'm talking to Mommy and Daddy.
Oh you might be wondering how big I am. Well, Mommy weighed me and I was around 16 lbs, 13 oz. Mommy doesn't think that's right though, but I told her the scale at our house wasn't accurate. I guess we'll just have to wait until my next check up to see what I weigh. But I'm still pretty small. Taylor is too, but I definitely have more rolls than she ever did. Mommy loves squeezing my "chunk" as she calls it. I don't mind it too much- it kind of tickles!
Well, I think that's enough from me. I have important things to do like chewing on some plastic animals, and investigating the crayon I saw roll under the recliner. I'll see you all later!
