Running a little behind this month, but you know as well as I do that it is because we have been sooo busy! This has been such a fun month with you! You are growing bigger each day, learning more each day, and you seem so delighted to explore and spend time with mommy and daddy. Your stranger anxiety has finally reared its ugly head, though you aren't too bad. As long as I can slip away without you noticing, you usually do okay, especially in familiar environments like daycare and church. The second you notice me though, it is all over. Every day when I pick you up from daycare, I try to get as much packed up as possible before you notice me. When you do see me, you excitedly squeal for about 10 seconds until you begin to screech. The beginning of January finally brought the end to your months long ear infection, just before we resorted to injections of antibiotics (whew!). The good news is you drained the fluid on your own, so we are avoiding the ENT for now...we are going back to the doctor this afternoon however for another suspected infection, so we'll see if we make it safely through the winter.
You continue to be a great night sleeper. You usually are asleep by 6-6:30pm on the weekdays. Lately you have waken between 5-6am and I can often nurse you then put you back to bed for another hour or so (on good days!). Weekends, you have been catching up on the lack of sleep you get during the day at daycare. You nap great, and then can stay up a little longer. Mommy and Daddy are starting to reintroduce ourselves to our social lives!
No teeth yet! You continue to love trying new foods. You are still clumsy with feeding yourself cheerios or puffs...usually its an accident if you get it in your mouth. You do love feeding yourself mum mums though. Sippy cup is touch and go. You get the concept, but don't really care to have any. You seem to be less interested in your bottles lately...you hardly ever finish one in one shot. You are making up for it by increasing your solids for all three meals per day.
You are still more or less immobile (which is nice for Mommy getting things done around the house). You can get from sitting to your belly, though you get mad when that happens. You do much better on your belly, sometimes rocking, and a few attempts at army crawling. You stay on your tummy much longer now before eventually rolling onto your back and sticking your feet in your mouth. You can pull up from sitting if everything is in the right place, and you love standing at your table (with Mommy sitting behind to catch you when you plop down).
You are becoming so much more vocal! This month you starting saying dadada, bababa, and uh oh, which is very funny. You wave, you fake cough, and you cheese a huge grin (full of gums!). You are so much fun to be around. Your favorite toys are sophie, your lantern, your bath toy sea animals, baby food jar lids, paper, and you LOVE to JUMP!! Lila, you have made us sooo happy, and we have loved this month with you :)
