Weight: 19-20 lbs
Height: 26ish inches
She reminds me so much of Tanner. She is following his growth pretty closely.
Clothing Size: I moved her up to 9-12 month stuff. She's a big girl.
Daily Schedule: Lydia continues taking 3 naps a day. She wakes up about twice a night to eat and goes right back to sleep. Pretty typical baby for us.
Special Outings: We actually ventured out as a whole family twice this month. Once to a friend's house to swim and celebrate their oldest's 16th birthday. Lydia did great there. Later, we went to another friend's home for dinner and to have the kids all play. Since we don't take Lydia out much, I never know how she'll sleep on the go or act. But she did great. She slept and napped everywhere with no problem. Now that Houston is under a mandatory mask wearing and highly encouraged to limit interaction, I'm not sure when we'll head out as a family again. It was nice to feel normal again.
Firsts: Food! Per the doctor's recommendation, we started her on some very liquid-y baby oatmeal. This was one recommendation to help cut down on the spit up. She almost always enjoys eating food with us.
Eating: As I mentioned above, we made a few changes this past month and saw a huge reduction in spit up. Prior to these changes, Lydia was consuming about 40 ounces of milk a day but spiting up quite a bit. Now, she consumes about 25-30 ounces and rarely spits up. If she does, it is just a little bit most of the time. We switched bottles to Dr. Brown's and we added oatmeal once a day.
Sibling love: The kids continue to love her. Tanner really enjoys making her smile and laugh. He loves talking to her and having Lydia "track" him with her eyes. Gemma still believes Lydia is her baby and will do anything for her. All the kids love bathing Lydia and holding her.
