Our little lady is growing so fast! She is adorable and we just can't get enough of her! Lucy's personality is coming out more and more each day and it is so wonderful to see who she is! Everywhere we go, people tell us to get her into modeling, but we think her best feature is her sweet demeanor. She is so calm, so loving, so cuddly, so completely perfect, we are just smitten with her!We took Lucy in for her 9 month check up and even the doctor is smitten with her. The doctor kept trying to stay focused and give us all the info, but she kept getting distracted by Lucy. The doctor kept pausing and saying, "She is just so stunning!", "I think it is her eyes that make her so stunning!", "I never see blue eyes so big! Brown eyes get big, but not blue.", "She is just soooo stunning!", "Does she ever blink?". It was fun to see the doctor trying to stay focused while Lucy was busy wrapping her around her little finger :-)
The doctor also remarked about Lucy's calm (and quiet) demeanor. In fact, Lucy is so quiet that they checked her hearing because she barely makes any noise. Her hearing test came back perfect, I wasn't surprised, the little girl has barely learned how to cry, so I am not surprised that she doesn't babble much.
Lucy's Stats
Height: 28 1/2 inches (81 %)
Weight: 18 lbs 1oz (35%)
Head: 16 1/2 inches (4%)
The doctor said that Lucy is getting too skinny, however if you saw Lucy's thighs you would disagree! The doctor thinks that my breast milk has turned to skim milk and Lucy needs more fat in her diet, so we will be adding more cheese and cottage cheese to her meals.
Likes: Jack, chasing her brother, having her brother chase her, playing in her brother's room, watching Jack do crazy things, basically anything having to do with Jack, cuddling with Mommy or Daddy, the lap of anyone she meets, reading books to herself, baths, staying at hotels, puffs, Tylenol, sweet potatoes, squash and ice cream. Yes, ice cream. I know, I wouldn't let Jack have ice cream until he was 1 year, however, I guess I am a little more relaxed as Lucy has been having ice cream since she was about 6 months old. She loves ice cream even more than she loves cuddling. Her favorites are pudding pops, if anyone is eating one and not sharing, she gets MAD! It is the only time we see her mad outside of her carseat.
Dislikes: the carseat, long car trips, short car trips, putting on her coat and realizing that she will soon be in the carseat on a short or long car trip, having her nose wiped and sleeping through the night.
I am not sure the word "dislike" really describes how Lucy feels about the carseat. I think the word despise fits it better. She screams and screams when placed in the carseat. She hates it. She makes us dread it, too. It is amazing that this calm little peaceful child can turn into a whole other baby when placed in a car! It is truly awful! It started on our trip home from Duluth when she was 7 months old. We stopped over 7 times on what should have been a 2 1/2 hour car trip. We kept stopping thinking that something was wrong, that she was hungry, thirsty, hurting, SOMETHING! But, no, she just didn't want to be strapped down. We stopped so many times trying to help her that the trip home lasted over 6 hours!!! It is her one downfall and boy, does she makes it count! Jack has never had trouble in the car, never. We didn't realize what a blessing that is! We are crossing our fingers that she will be 20 pounds at her 12 month appointment so she can go front facing and hopefully tolerate it better.
