July and August 2010 Crawling and Starting to Stand

Practicing with Daddy.

Look at Those beautiful legs!

Lucy is now 7 months 3 weeks and 1 day old! She is scooting around (backwards) on her belly, sitting up unassisted, and babbling da da da, bla bla bla and na na na. Recently she has started to try to pull herself up into a standing position, using anything that she can reach. It is so exciting to watch her try new things and it makes my heart flutter to watch her beaming with pride when she masters a new skill.

She started cutting her first tooth about 3 weeks ago and now has one very tiny and sharp little tooth and another trying to push through.

Lu loves to eat, but you can probably deduce that from looking at her picture. She has now moved onto eating some solid food, but is still gets most of her nutrition from mommy's milk. Avocados, pears and yogurt seem to be her favorites and she loves, loves, loves drinking from a cup.

Although, she has her moments of frustration, Lucy continues to be a pretty easy going girl and loves to socialize, especially with other babies, but she seems to have a huge smile for everyone she meets.

Love,

Melissa, Mike and Lucy

Lucy is getting so HUGE! She is in the 80th percentile for her weight and her doctor says that she is just perfect. She has been sleeping really well at night and taking pretty good naps, but she seems to get really confused when we break from the routine. Yesterday she refused to sleep after a trip to Babies R Us and was just miserable. I think we will just make our trips out really, really short until she is old enough to stay awake for longer periods of time.

Lucy continues to be such a sweet, quiet and happy little baby unless she is overtired (mommy's fault) or someone is trying to make her drink from a bottle. She has decided that she will not be a bottle drinker and that is ok with us as long as she keeps up her good sleeping habits.

In addition to being precious and adorable, Lucy has also started to babble, saying "ohhh" and "ahhhhh" and smiling like crazy! I think she has actually started to notice the dog too!!! Her little hands are open and grasping and slapping at her toys, but she is still kind of spastic in her movements. She loves smiling and giggling at her daddy at night before bed and LOVES listening to the Be good Tanyas while she takes her morning baths.

Can't wait for everybody to meet her!
