Happy 10 Months Lily!
Happy 10 months old my previous Lily pad!!! Lily weighs in at about 17.8 pound and stretch about 29 inches long! She is a pro at crawling around and pulling herself up to standing as well. She especially loves to pull herself up and we noticed she’s been trying to stand up on her own too but hasn’t quite been able to YET. She loves to move around and discovered the power of being mobile, which makes our life a little more difficulty like when we’re trying to change her clothes or diapers, but it definitely is more fun! She’s also starting to get comfortable with cruising around too (walking while holding onto furniture/sturdy objects). The other day, I wondered if she would be able to climb our stairs (since we have so many), so we tested it out. It was foreign to her at first, and she tried to climb up but didn’t quite know how to do it, so Khoa helped her move one leg up first, then boosted her up to get the other leg up. The next day, she nailed it all on her own! That’s good and bad…now we need to teach her how to safely climb down the stairs haha. But wow, what a fast learner!! She really loves to explore and we notice she likes to face new challenges head on, and isn’t afraid of new things! Yay! Lily also still naps 3 times a day, and her naps range from 1-3 hours each time! She eats solids 2 times a day, and eats 4 oz of solids eat time. So far, she loves everything her momma makes her, so yay, she likes my cooking!!
Lily 43 weeks old!!
Speaking of cooking, looking at the photo above, I was very proud of myself that I was able to make her chef’s hat all by myself! It’s quite simple really. I took computer paper, cut it into two strips. I measured the circumference of Lily’s head and taped the strips so that it forms the band of the hat in the size that fits her head. Then I took 1 sheet of tissue paper (for wrapping not nose wiping =P) and cut a giant circle out of it. Then I just taped the tissue paper to the inside of the hat band and voila!! A chef hat is made! The bowl she’s sitting in is an actual large mixing bowl! We are so lucky Lily lets us stick her naked inside a mixing bowl and take pictures of her for fun =P
Last Thursday, Lily’s school called me around noon telling me that Lily had a 101.3 fever! =( That’s her very first fever ever!! Poor baby! When I arrived to pick her up to take her home, she was so happy to see me, she looked so cute and normal. She knocked out in the car, and slept for another 2 hours when we got home. When she woke up, her temperature was back to normal at 97.7. I think she faked it so she can go home and spend time with her mommy…haha. She was in good spirits for the rest of the day too. I think she might have gotten khoa’s crazy super healing genes and got over whatever it was her body was trying to fight off quickly, and she just needed some extra love and care and she was good as new! =) I’m so glad she made through her first fever like a champ! I’m so proud of her! I can’t believe she’s already in the double digits for months. We will for sure cherish these next 2 months before she turns one!!!
