My Princess girl...

This week my sweet princess really is showing me how she's growing up. I'm a little sad at the thought that she is turning 9 months in just over a week but I'm excited too at how far she has come and that she's well on her way to a long, healthy, happy life. Last week we saw her pediatrician and he gave us the go ahead to start rice cereal. He said if she handles that well to introduce weekly a new 1st stage food. She did quite well with her cereal so this week she tried bananas. It is so funny how bananas can turn into such a huge event for us and can make me so proud and happy that I even cried a little over them. Lucy wasn't sure of them at first but today she seemed to like them a little more. It is so exciting to move onto this stage.
Also this week Lucy has been sleeping in her big girl crib. By no fault of her own she has still been sleeping in her bassinet in our room (about 15 inches away from our bed). I have just not felt ready to move her out but we knew it was getting time. So for the past four nights she has slept wonderfully in her crib. She is such a good baby, we can put her in the crib asleep or awake and we turn on her lullaby rainforest toy and she falls asleep. She's been sleeping much longer in her bedroom because it is darker and quieter in the mornings. I thought I wouldn't be ready for it but it's been great and I'm happy Lucy has her own room to enjoy.
Lucy seems to mature almost daily. She is getting more of her own personality and the developmental specialist from EI came this week and said she's at the age where she is deciding who and what she likes and what she doesn't. It is so fun to see her little (or big) personality shine. She is such a cute girl and I love every piece of her!
such a happy girl!

Lucy, You are the cutest little bug in the whole wide world. Get over here so I can kiss those baby cheeks. I missed our Tuesday play date, but I will see you soon. Until then XOXO! I love you.

So... I'm guessing since she's at the stage where she's deciding who she does and doesn't like- that could be the reason she cried and screamed while I babysat? Until Brinton got home of course! :) Love you Banana Bug
