Lillian had her Dr appt on June 28th. She doesn't turn 9 months till Aug 7th.
She is 19 lb which is the 68th %tile.
She is 27 inches tall which is the 41st %tile.
They said she is completely fine and not overweight. She does have some chunk to her, but all cute babies do :)!
She had to have some wax cleaned out of her ears in order for the Dr to see. We know that didn't go over well. The right one had to be washed out to soften the wax. She got so upset that her hair was completely wet. She was so pathetic.
She needs to have a good cry every once and awhile. I know that sounds bad, but she has never been that upset before. Well, maybe only once when they sucked her nose out at the ER when she was 10 weeks.
Then she had two shots. But she didn't need Tylenol or Ibuprofen. She did very well.
The Dr said that she should be eating table food: puffs, cheerios, soft foods. I don't know why I am so nervous or reluctant to feed her table foods.
She isn't doing too bad, but she isn't doing great at it yet. The school said they will help give her puffs for snack to help her get used to them.
She has hit all the milestones except for the pincher grasp. This is where she can pick up something with her finger and thumb. I hadn't been letting her get foods yet. I feed her the melts, broken up. But they are sticky too and she doesn't quite get it.
But she is doing really well. She loves to say bye bye and wave for that and HI. She loves her sister and Ryan loves to make her laugh.
Lillian will get up on her knees and pull up if you are holding her hands. She is crawling really well. She also loves to cuddle, unlike her sister. Ryan was a very loving and happy baby, but she wasn't too cuddly. She likes to lay with her daddy now, but that's a rare moment when she cuddles with me. Daddy's girl........
So I love Lilly cuddles.
Ryan is an awesome big sister. She sill asks for her every morning if she can't find her in her crib. She loves to help her play and makes sure she is happy. Every now and then you can catch her say "It's ok, baby. Sissy is here." Or "I know, it's ok. I am here." Lillian is the luckiest little sister in the WORLD.
July 31st before school.
This day is the day that Ryan said. "Mommy, you always walk me to my class. I can go all by myself. You can take Lilly to her class. She needs you."
Ugh........ talk about heartbreak. I love her independence though. She will ROCK Kindergarten.
