playing with Dad in my new pool!
My pool is super fun....I especially like to climb in & out of it!
We finally had Luci's first birthday party! Better late than never, right? Our friends Trina & Margeaux Kemmerly, the Lawrence Family and Grandma & Grandpa Pierse were all here to help us celebrate. Thanks for coming!
Luci was blessed with lots of new toys!! We now have lots of fun Gymboree toys at home (thanks Margeaux!), a beautiful baby doll named Stllella (per Clara) whose length is 'perfect' & weight is 'just right' per her birth certificate, a couple of baby bottles, a blanket & a stroller (thanks Clara!), a few new sweet dresses, a little wading pool & some pool toys (thanks Gma & Gpa P!), and shape & animal sorting barn (from Mom & Dad). Quite a bit of loot for a one year old! Not to mention the gifts she got on her actual birthday and in the mail from loving family & friends!
In other news, Wednesday was Luci's 12 month well baby check up. She weighs 21 lbs, 9.3 oz (50%), is 31.5 inches long (95%) and her little head is 18.25 inches (75%). During the visit we talked about getting rid of the bottles...so Wednesday was our baby's last day with them. She was VERY upset by about 10a on Thursday...promptly pushing away any & all sippy cups, or throwing them on the floor...as if to say "HEY MOM....YOU FORGOT SOMETHING! NO CUP! WHERE IS MY BOTTLE!??!?!?!" Poor thing. Naps were rough...she cried off & on for both naps for more than 30 minutes. Luckily my friend Holly came to the rescue by recommending a great 'transition' sippy that looks like of like the bottle and has a nice soft spout. When I finally handed Luci that cup at 3p she took a few giant gulps and I knew we were going to make it. And the cup is only $2.99 at Kroger! Sweet! Thanks Holly! She doesn't seem to miss the bottle anymore, but I am hoping she ups her intake here pretty soon. I think the first day she maybe had 6oz and yesterday maybe 8-10oz. Hopefully we'll soon get up to our doctor recommended amount of 16-20oz. I've been trying to make up for it by letting her eat lots of grilled cheese & yogurt...which just happen to be two of her favorites...so that works out well!
