Lucy turned 4 months old today! I didn't take many pictures b/c we were on our way to Kentucky for the weekend, but here are a few I managed to get this morning:
Lucy has already grown so much in just one month. She is the most "talkative" little girl- full of all kinds of sounds, including babbling "ma, ma, ma, mom". She continues to be a very easy, smiley, happy-go-lucky baby! Her night-time sleep has become a little more interrupted the past few weeks- due to teething discomfort, I think?! But she is still very quick to fall back asleep, up 10 minutes at the most. Lucy has been a drooly little thing this past month too (hence the guess at teething discomfort for the night-time waking)! I practically have to keep a bib on her all day long or her outfit would be completely drenched. She doesn't seem to mind, it gives her something extra to play with!
Lucy has great hand coordination, which has made playing with all her toys (rattles, mobile, rings, etc.) a lot more fun this past month. She is rolling from side to side when laying on her play mat. I have even seen her roll over from her tummy to her back a couple of times, but I had her propped up on her elbows- so I don't know if we can call that yet! She is a very squirmy, active baby. So, I don't think it will take her too much longer to figure out the whole rolling over thing! And finally, Lucy continues to be a very big, healthy baby- check out her stats:
Weight: 15 lbs 6.5 oz (75%)
Height: 26.50 in (99%)
Head: 16.25 (75%)
The picture above says it all...Lucy is such an easy-going, happy-go-lucky baby!! She has the best smile and the sweetest laugh (which we have gotten to hear a lot of this past month)!
5 months old and growing every day! Most people guess she is at least 6 months old already. She is very strong- sitting up might be right around the corner! I have seen her roll over both ways, but one arm is still getting stuck underneath from back to tummy. I am sure this will change very soon as she is a very active, squirmy baby- ready to go!!
Lucy is such a delight to be around. Her laugh is infectious. She loves being around people as well, especially her big brother. She watches everything he does, which of course, makes her laugh! So cute- and the two of them are (too cute) together!
Lucy has started eating some solid foods this past month- including applesauce, bananas, sweet potatoes, and rice cereal. She has enjoyed all of them, but seems like she could take it or leave it at this point- still preferring mainly to nurse. Lucy went through a strange sleeping week towards the end of March, but seems to be back on track now with two recent 11 hr sleep through the night stretches!
Another great month! We love you Lucy girl- so, so much!!
