| So serious |
...is now this big smilely roly-poly baby. I feel like I say this all the time, but where did the time go?!
 |
| Those cheeks! They kill me. |
Weight: 16 lbs (55%)
Height: 26 1/2 inches (90%- holy cow!)
Teeth (!): Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have a tooth! She got her first central lower incisor at the end of April. The second one looks like it is not far behind.
Diapers: I'm still puzzling out the heavy wetting situation. If anyone has ideas regarding keeping her dry through the night I would love to hear them.
Clothes: She's plateaued a bit and is still in 6-9 and 9-12.
Sleep: Since starting on solid food we've had some better luck on the sleep front. There have been two times in the past month that she has only been up once. Most nights it's still 2-3 times. On bad nights it's still 5+ times.
During the day she is mostly on the 2-3-4 schedule, which I love because I can look at the clock and know exactly when she will be ready for a nap. You know, because the "I'm super cranky" cry isn't obvious at all.
Food (including solid food!): In addition to nursing, she's started on some solid food. So far she's had bananas (felt kind of meh about them), oatmeal (likes okay), yogurt (loves), applesauce (the current favorite), and avocado (tried tonight- gobbled up a few pieces then the rest was a decided no). We're doing a mix of purees and baby led weaning, while sticking with the attitude that "food before one is just for fun." Along with, "Have a full belly and please for the love of God sleep through the night."
Milestones: She is a rolling machine and does this crazy crawling backwards thing. Forwards crawling will be happening soon! If you are holding her hands, she tries to pull herself up and tries to take steps.
She's getting better at sitting unassisted. Still topples over quite a bit and even the pediatrician said she could be doing a bit better. Mission for this month- become a rock star sitter upper.
And a weird milestone- her clogged tear duct finally cleared up. In the interest of full disclosure, this might have happened last month. However, since I noticed it this month, that's where I'm placing it.
Miscellaneous: Everyone comments how she is this sweet, calm baby. Well, let me tell you- girl has a serious temper. Ella tried to take away Marian's beloved spoon and Marian grabbed on with both hand and then gave an ungodly shriek. They've been having a lot more sibling "spats" in the past few weeks- most likely because Marian can move a heck of a lot more and is incredibly adept at grabbing stuff (so says the bald spot on my head), and the two year old is not always happy with this.
Despite that, Marian still thinks her sister is her best buddy (not entirely sure Ella feels this way). I love that they are "playing" together more and more.

| Ring around the rosie, complete with hats. Why hats? Ask Ella. |
And now for some more photos:

| Not entirely sure how she feels about food (Funny story about this photo- Jim saw it and said, "Wow, Ella sure looks a lot like Marian in this photo!" Granted, we had been looking a pictures of Ella beforehand. But yes, that photo DOES look a lot like Marian) |
