Anyways, Lucie went for her pediatrician visit this morning, and we knew she had been growing lots. I was for sure she would be like 12 lbs, because she has started growing out of a lot of her 0-3 month clothes, but she was just 10 lbs 1 oz. (25%) and was whopping 23.5 inches long. She has grown 3.5 inches since growth, which is probably why it seems like she is growing out of all of her footie pajamas and her shirts are short!! It is time to adjust her Baby Bjorn to the next level!
This month Lucie has really started to smile and flirt with us. She is always the most smiley when she wakes up in the morning. Patrick loves waking Lucie up to get the first smiles of the day before he goes off to work. She is sleeping 7.5 or 8 hr stretches, but it just happens to be more like 8:30pm -3:30 am. Which means i am still waking up in the middle of the night to feed her. I'm hoping she starts picking a more favorable stretch for when I go back to work in a month!
Lucie's favorite things right now are laying on her changing pad (still), sitting in her bouncy chair and making faces at the animals, and swinging in the swing at the fastest level possible. She is a great companion for day outings. She loves sitting in her carseat and riding around at the mall, Target, the grocery, etc. She also has been out to eat a couple of times, and seems to like her carseat in the sling so that she can sit up by the table with everyone else. She and Dottie Jo, my parent's dog, are still getting to know each other and are not sure what to think of each other yet. She rides on her daddy's chest in the Baby Bjorn, and made it all of the way around the scenic loop in it on Saturday. During the next month we hope to conquer Lucie's sleeping arrangement so that she is prepared to sleep over at all of her babysitter's homes beginning next month. Up first will be learning to sleep on a flat surface.
In other news, my sister Meaghan is getting married 6/29/13! We are so excited for her. I went shopping and ordered my bridesmaids drew last week, which was fun being (7 weeks at that point) post-partum, and trying to figure out a way to hide my little pooch of a belly. I'm hoping that by the time my sisters wedding rolls around there wont be as much of a pooch anymore, but, hey! i grew a baby :) way more important than worrying about a tummy pooch, right?!?!
Goal #2 for this month is to get back to church... We have been skippers. We have been twice since
Lucie was born, once with her. It didn't go so hot. She got fussy and i ended up pushing her around in the hallway in the stroller. I've heard the Moby wraps are really beneficial for keeping the baby calm and quiet during church.... I love our Baby Bjorn but she has to be moving to stay calm in that thing. We don't have a Moby, but maybe I'll be able to find one at consignment or something?
Lucie has had several 'play dates' now and enjoyed spending time with her new friends Norah Kate, Emmeline, and Noah. She hopes to have more playdates before mommy goes back to work!
