Her personality is really starting to show these days and I am so amazed at what a wonderful little person she is. She smiles easily but you have to work for it to make her laugh. She's very inquisitive and likes to look at everything and her eyes will follow you around the room. She's active ALL the time. Even when she is just sitting there, she kicks her legs constantly and waves her arms. She's a cuddler, but she also has periods during the day when she wants to be left to her own devices.
Physically she is getting stronger too. She has great control of her head and neck and is sitting up (assisted) pretty good. She is very in to grabbing things these days. Her doll, toys, pacifier, my hair... and it all goes straight into the mouth. She has been drooling like crazy so everyone says teeth are coming soon. I've heard teething can be pretty bad so I'm a little nervous.
Her sleeping pattern had gotten a little disrupted. I think the holidays threw off her schedule and she's also been congested and it gets worse when she is laying down flat. So for now she is back to sleeping in the bouncer in our room. The other issue is that her weight gain had slowed down pretty drastically. I took her to the pediatrician who said Lucy looked fine so it was probably just a dwindling supply. So I basically had to feed her non stop for several days. She seems to be back on track and making up for lost time- she gained 8 ounces last week! But again, I think this disrupted her sleeping too. So instead of sleeping through the night, she is up 2-3 times.
Good news is Lucy is growing like a weed again and she doesn't seem to mind the changes in her sleep. Bad news is that Mom is getting horrible sleep and feels like a zombie :)
I plan on trying to get her back in her room as soon her congestion clears up.
Here are some pics of our lovely Lucy.
