This month has been a really big month for you as lots and lots of new things happened.
1) The biggest news was that you got two teeth within about a week of eachother. The first one, the lower middle right, popped through on Feb. 24 and then the lower middle left one popped through on March 1.
2) In not so happy news, you had your first "up all night" night where you didn't sleep for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. We were thinking may something was going on with your ears as you would cry and cry every time we laid you down. If we weren't holding you, you wouldn't sleep. In all of our years of parenting so far this was a first for mommy and daddy! We took you to the doctor the next day though and sure enough, your ears were full of fluid! We were able to avoid antibiotics and just treated with garlic drops and motrin. You were back to your happy self super fast. Fun fact, Brinley, Daddy or Mommy have actually never had an ear infection so you've been the only one! :)
3) You tried your first bit of solid food this month. It was on March 3 and was actually a pretty dumb move by mama. You were watching me very intently as I ate an apple so I broke off a teeny, tiny piece and gave it to you. You didn't know what to make of it but then of course started gagging on it (too small to actually be able to choke on it) but I quickly pulled it out of your mouth. I'm sure you can handle bits of food but we will start with something softer than an apple! Doh! Since then though, you've tried some applesauce and sweet potatoes as "play food" while we all eat dinner. We are going to start on a few other things next week!
4) You've moved up a size in diapers and are now into size 4s in everything!
5) You've made huge strides in your sitting and are now almost totally independent. You will fling yourself back (and once did that in the pack n play and hit your head on the knob on mommy's dresser drawer) so we always sit behind you and make sure you're okay. But you're pretty proud of yourself and oh so cute sitting up so big!
Still rolling all over the place but no forward crawling yet (thankfully!).
At the last doctor's appointment you were almost 19 lbs so still growing good!
Clothes are still the same but we do find you drifting towards 12 month clothes more often then not...
Your sleeping has been really good as well as we've been working on getting you to bed earlier (7/7:30) and getting you to sleep all night and only eat at 7 a.m. You've done really pretty good with it and given us 11 or 12 hour stretches a few times! We are making sure you're getting plenty of milk during the day too :)
No real talking yet but you say lots of dadadadadad's and on March 5 you looked right at Daddy and said dada but I'm still not sure you knew what you were saying so not sure that it "counts" :) Getting closer though!
We just love you so much sweet girl and can't get over how cute you are and how fast you're growing! We are so blessed to have you in our family!
