My goodness, girl. As long as Wavy was in, she’s been out! Funny how these months have wailed by, yet the nine with her on the inside felt like an eternity! Haha! I can confidently say I’ve enjoyed the nine with her out WAY better!!
Waverly is growing! Sorry to say, I’m unsure about her weight this time around. Here’s the thing. I always weigh her at home on my scale, and while I know its not as accurate as the one at the doctors office, its at least consistent with itself. This last month, I took Wavy to the doctor for a couple of things, and they weighed her. Her appointment mid-March weighed her in around 19 lbs 10 oz, and then two weeks later, we weighed her again. The second time, she was dressed in jeans in and a hoodie, and had a wet diaper on. Her weight came to 20 lbs 13 oz. Now I know her clothes and diaper affected her weight that day, but I’m not sure by how much. Now, my home school says 19 lbs 5 oz. Sooooo she’s somewhere in there. Thats the best I’ve got :/ She has, however, moved into a big girl car seat! CRAZY! She’s growing and changing constantly. Her hair is longer, she’s back and legs are stronger, and her voice is louder!
She took a break from teething for a month or so, but she’s back at in just the last few days.
Development time! Wavy still doesn’t really care for her bottle, and she is LOVING food! Especially feeding herself. She can drink from a straw sippy cup but isn’t especially interested in it. We’ll keep trying for it, though, because the sooner she can quit the bottle, the sooner we can stop fighting that fight and she can just be happy and hydrated.
Wavy sits SO well that I admit, I’ve dropped the ball pretty hard on her being on her tummy. Probably two weeks ago, if I set her on her tummy, she would cry and fuss and just lay her head down and whine. But recently, we tried it again and she is ALL over it! She kicks, tries to get her knees under her, spins around on her tummy, and effectively pushes herself backwards. Keep in mind, none of our kids have been early movers, our earliest crawler being 11 months. So this could be pretty exciting for us! The last thing I’ll note here is that Wavy has preferences now, and has certain things she prefers over others. She’ll still take just about anything she’s offered, but she loves cords, her little stuffed mermaid,
and Dekker.
Waverly was doing a bang up job of sleeping through the night but has somewhat given up on that since she jumped back on the teething train. She can sleep through, and she will again soon enough, I’m sure. She’s just a little off her game. Her schedule is less present than it was last month because of this change, but she pretty consistently only takes one nap. If she has two, she has a worse night, for sure. Lucky for us, she naps really well and really long.
She continues to be one of the most charming, engaging, welcoming people I’ve ever met.
Thank you God for NINE months with Waverly!
