Lainey Reulet: 10 months

Our Little Lainey is getting not-so-little!! 10 MONTHS! That's almost a year, folks! *sigh* 

This is a re-cap of Lainey's life from May14-June 14





Oh, my sweetness, how this girl's smile just melts my heart!


She's still a little unsure as to why the Monkey gets to crash her monthly photo shoot with Mommy!


HOLY TEETH BATMAN!!!
This has definitely been the month of teething for Lainey and is making for some interesting grins



So at 10 Months old, Lainey is:
  • Sleeping pretty well but we've needed to shorten her morning nap a tad. It used to be 2 hours but we are doing about 1.5 hours now. So she starts the day at 7am, naps 9:30-11, 1-3 and bed at 7pm
  • Crying out some at night... my guess... TEETHING
  • Speaking of, she got "G" on June 4 and several more are right behind!
  • CRAWLING!! Literally, we came home from her 9 month check up (the day after she turned 9 mo) and I sat her down on the front porch on a blanket and she promptly got on all 4's and started crawling! I just happened to be videoing her and caught it! SO exciting!
  • Pulling to standing! This started June 12 at Tracy's house. Of course its the summer and she wont be going to tracy's again till August, but we had her keep Lainey for us to take the big kids to the waterpark and BAM... she pulled to standing at her house! Show off!
  • Making "bad face" like a maniac. Cracks. Me. Up!
  • Still saying "dadadada" like crazy but no mama (consistently) yet. Only the occasional babble that sounds like mama but clearly is just a babble. No, I dont count that ;-)
  • Moving on up to 12 month clothing for some of her clothes. Some 9 mo stuff still fits fine, so we are in transition
  • Size 4 diapers
  • Still on 5mL prilosec twice a day
  • Still on baby's only organic formula and taking 5ish ounces 4 times a day
  • Still eating great! She is VERY open to new foods and this month loved cucumbers! And CHEESE

Mack and Rhyan continue to be AMAZING with Lainey. But I have to speak about Mack specifically for a moment. I was pretty sure that when she started crawling (and getting into his toys) that his love for her would be over... but I was wrong! Now that she can crawl, he will use a toy or a rope or anything that interests her to "lure" her down the hallway to his room so she can "play" with him in his room (this consists of them each playing separately in his room, but being in there together makes it more fun of course!). He is SO good to call to us and say "Mommy! Lainey is getting into the dog food!" Or "Mommy! Lainey picked up something little and put it in her mouth!". He's super protective of her, shares his toys with her, will be the  FIRST to take her a toy or sing to her if she's upset and just overall i'm AMAZED by his sweet heart with Lainey. He loves having a little sister and recently told me we needed to have FIVE babies because he LOVES babies :-). Im thinking.... NO... but isnt that sweet?!!

We are ALL enjoying having her!

Lainey Reulet: 9 months

This is a summary of Lainey's life from April 14-May 14... her 8th month of life! She is 9 months old now! And if that seems like a strange thing for me to type, its for one reason: to make it easier for me to scroll through her milestones in my phone and look at dates and see what is appropriate to add here ;-)
So the BIG thing this month is that Lainey got her FIRST TOOTH!!!! Hooray!!
And not only did she get one, but she got 2 within a day of each other!!
The other big news for the month: Lainey got herself to a sitting position on her own!



She's also decided that her monkey is HILARIOUS. She cracks up just looking at him. Which makes pictures fun... and difficult! HA!


And she's started noticing that I put stickers on her. And she's not having that. Which, again, is difficult. I know that every mom says as the kids get older that it'll be nice to be done with the monthly pics and I see why (i did them with Rhyan and Mack but not with a sticker).




Lainey also had her 9 month check up at the Dr this month. She is growing well! Here are her stats:

Height- 28 1/4" (74%)
Weight- 20lbs 9.5oz (79%)
Head- 44.5cm (66%)


At 9 months, Lainey is:
  • Still sleeping great. Naps 9-11 and 1-3 and in bed by 7:30. Wakes at 7ish
  • Keeping our bedtime routine of bath, bottle, bed. She almost never falls asleep at the bottle
  • In a size 4 diaper all the time, now
  • Still in 6-9 month clothing
  • On 5mL of prilosec twice a day
  • HAS TEETH!!! She got tooth "P" at 8mo 1 day and tooth "O" at 8mo 2 days
  • Gets to a sitting position on her own from laying down now! AS of May 7th
  • Eating solids great these days and I'm feeling much better about it! She loves to eat what we are eating! We've introduced cheerios and other small finger foods and she shovels it in! 
  • Loving yogurt, green beans, peas/butter beans, etc and chicken and cheese best.

     We are loving our sweet Lainey Rue!
