The Plylers: February 2014

On February 17, 2014,

Delaney turned 10months old!!!

And here she is…

A few stats...

Weight: my guess is 22lbs…will get her on the scales tomorrow :)

Height: I'm thinking the same as last month…28.75in

Head: Again I'm thinking the same...45.5cm
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Light brown

Sleeping: This past month we had to have a little sleeping boot camp. We started at the end of January. Her nap times are the same and her bed time is the same but I had to get her used to putting herself to sleep. So, if she woke up in the middle of the night, she would be able to go back to sleep without crying for me to help. I changed her bedtime routine a little so I could put her to sleep drowsy but not fully asleep yet. I did the same for her naps. At first she cried, then she would whine and shortly after that she would just roll over and go to sleep. After about a week or two she was sleeping through the night! She would do it before, but she wasn't always consistent. So now she wakes up between 6-6:30am, takes her morning nap at 8:00am and her afternoon nap at 1:30pm. Bedtime is at 7:00pm after 2 stories and 2 songs while rocking. I lay her down even if her eyes are still open. I kiss her forehead, tell her "sweet dreams" and put her in her crib. It's a wonderful feeling to lay her down and not worry about waking her up while I walk out the room!!

Feeding: She now nurses 5 times a day. Makes things easy to keep kids on a schedule and luckily this one is working for her. She nurses at 6:30am, 9:30am, 12:30pm, 3:30pm, and 6:30pm (give or take 30 minutes depending day to day). She's eating almost all table food now because she has been refusing baby food. She loves to feed herself! She will have a waffle (cut into tiny pieces because she shovels it into her mouth) and cut up fruit for breakfast, cheese and crackers for lunch and will eat what we are eating for dinner. (like green beans, peas, noodles and rice) This girl loves to eat! I am excited about her eating her birthday cake…I think it's going to be all over her!
Clothes: Delaney is still wearing 9 month clothes and more 12 month clothes!

Fun Facts: Delaney is CRAWLING and STANDING everywhere!!! She can say "Mama" and we think she has said "Dada" before. She loves to laugh and squeal…especially when playing with her big brother. She can "walk" with her walker and she is beginning to "let go" when holding onto furniture. She only keeps her balance for maybe a second…and then falls, but it's only a matter of time that she will be standing on her own and walking :) I am already planning her first birthday party with a theme of lady bugs…because to me, daddy and Dylan she's "bug" or "laney-bug". It's really cute to listen to Dylan say, "hey little bug!'

Some EXTRAS…
