Time Marches On
Lucy is 7 months old. Eee gads. She’s developing at a dizzying pace- I can barely keep up with all the “firsts”. Today a co-worker and I were discussing the temperament and personality of babies and how early that is determined. It is so clear to me what Lucy’s salient traits are: she’s most definitely happy, easy-going and social. I think she may also have a bit of a stubborn streak and she really likes to be “part of the action”.
She now has two teeth, and I’m sure more are on the way. She does not crawl yet but is getting onto all fours and rocking back and forth. She can easily push backwards and manages to get around rather quickly, much to my dismay! She’s had quite a few foods: avocado, carrot, rice cereal, nectarine and a small taste of both banana and blueberry. This past week Lucy went on her first plane (as well as her 2nd, 3rd and 4th!). She also rode in a taxi and took a train. She’s very vocal and says both mamamamamamamam and dadadadadadadadad all the time. I don’t know that this necessarily refers to G and I but I know she’s communicating something. She also has a new way to let us know she is unhappy- she blows raspberries at us. Whenever she is fed up, done eating, or annoyed she uses this method to let us know. And boy, does she! Yesterday, G took her for a run in the jogging stroller. She let him know how unhappy she was by blowing raspberries (and crying) non-stop until he took her out.
We spent the past week visiting my family on the east coast. Lucy traveled well, though it was a bit of a drain for G and I. It was great to spend time with our loved ones and so sweet to see people light up around Lucy (notably my Dad, who adores her). She dazzled everyone with her easy smile and managed to stay in relatively good spirits despite few naps. Now that we have an idea how this works, G and I are beginning to plan other getaways.
In the mean time, we are completely caught up in watching our little beauty unfold. How lucky we are.
