Lucy is 9 months!

 

This little lady is 9 months! She’s still army crawling all over. She’s so efficient at it, that we wonder if she’ll skip over crawling all together. Lucy popped her first tooth through on July 6th and her second one a few days later. She took it like a champ and had almost no symptoms, other than a runny nose, which may or may not have had anything to do with the new teeth. She’s finally eating solid foods and eating almost anything. We’re moving her to mostly table foods, because I’m lazy. AND….she’s been sleeping through the night for almost 2 weeks! Not just sleeping 5 hour stretches, but sleeping for 10-12 hours. Anyone who knows me knows that I have an unhealthy attachment to sleep, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I feel like a new woman! Favorite child goes to Lucy (don’t tell the others ) for sleeping through the night months earlier than any of the boys. She’s also loves giving open mouth kisses and she’s becoming a bit of a mama’s girl. Sometimes when we are driving, I’ll have to speak in a whisper. If she hears my voice, she’ll start crying. She is loved on by the boys SO much-especially Leo who insists on wrestling and rolling all around with her. She’s pretty tough. She can say “Mama” and I can’t be certain, but I think she knows what it means (let’s just say she does…) Her hair is finally growing out enough that it lays down and she has the most beautiful natural highlights.

 

It’s such a blessing having this sweet girl in our lives!
