Lynlie has had quite the adjustment this month and she's taking it out on her sleep...We moved in with my parents to get our house ready to sell and the girls now share a room. Lynlie (and really all of my kiddos) has never done well sleeping anywhere but in HER room. Well now that she's permanently in a new room she's just struggling with her new surroundings and sharing a room with Lorelai so she has been getting up 2-4 times a night, which mean this mama is not sleeping well! But hopefully that will get better int he months to come. She is definitely my worst sleeper, which is making it hard on me!
But her are some milestones this month.
- She is getting 2 teeth, both on the bottom.
- She has finally decided to like table food. She has really taken off with it
- She loves bananas, avocados, blueberries, green beans, broccoli and veggie straws
- unfortunately mimi, papa and daddy think that its perfectly fine to just fill her up with junk....you'd think by the 4th kiddo they would know that eating is strictly developmental and that she needs her nutrition from BM and doesn't need the empty calories of veggie straws!
- She still breastfeeds 6-7 times a day (or more if she wakes up more often)
- Sleep has been a major issue this month
- she will sleep for about 12-13 hours, but she will wake up about 2-4 times a night. sometimes still every 3 hours!!! Kid needs to get it together
- she's also not napping all that well. She will only nap for an hour or so. I'm not real sure what her deal is.
- She still sucks on her tongue when shes tired and its the cutest thing ever!
- She is a very happy baby (even for not sleeping) She will smile all the time. She gives these huge smiles that just melt my heart
- She is finally sitting up on her own!
- due to this she is also enjoying being on the floor and not held as much, which can be a good thing when i'm trying to get things done.
- but I have to admit now that she sits up she doesn't cuddle as much which I miss
- She loves to sing and talk and is often the loudest of the group. All the da da da...ba ba bas your heart can take.
- She is still mama's girl and often wants nothing but mama, but is definitely warming up to others which my mama heart doesn't love...haha
- she went to the zoo for the first time and seemed to enjoy it.
- She continues to be in size 3 diapers
- She is finally in size 9-12 month clothes, mostly 9 month, but I have some random 12 month outfits that were Lorelai's that she fits in just fine.
- She still loves her bumbo seat.
- She loves the pool, but hates getting sunscreen on. But shes all smiles once she gets in the water.
- Now that shes sitting up she is enjoying the shower more and more, since she can sit up and play in the water.
- She is of course in the stage where everything goes in her mouth, and Lincoln and his legos might be the death of me.
Her 9 month appointment we did a tad late due to VBS week but here are her stats
- She is 28 inches
- She is 65th% for height
- She is 19 lbs
- She is 55% for weight
by comparison to the boys, Lincoln was 29.5 inches and 20.5 lbs, Landon was 28.5 inches and 22.2 lbs. So she is a little shorter and thinner. and of course Lorelai was only 15 lbs at 1 year...so there's that. LOL
Here are her 9 month pics.
After her 6 month photos that were not my favorite. We knocked these 9 month pics out of the park. Alicia did an amazing job, I adore these pics of my princess.
This month has been a blessing, as each one before it. We feel so blessed to love and nurture 4 of our kiddos, and one cheering us on from heaven. Lynlie is just perfect and we know that Laynie had a hand in picking her out for us. She has been the perfect addition to this crazy family and we are forever grateful to God for entrusting us with her.
We love you Lynlie!
