Update
We've not posted any updates in ages, so I thought I'd fill you in on Lily's progress over the past ~14 months of her life. The health visitor recently said she's developing well and is a healthy, happy baby. Here's my list of what I've noticed (in no particular order):
- She can now walk confidently, with only a few stumbles
- She can run short distances (no marathons - yet)
- She's learnt to feed herself with a spoon if she feels like it
- Her appetite has grown - as she finishes adult portions of breakfast cereals every morning
- Lily sleeps throughout the night
- Bedtime is at 8pm and we lie her in her cot to sleep without any fuss
- She awakes at 7am regularly each morning
- Milk has reduced to just the one bottle of full-fat just before bedtime
- Her naps are sparse and she enjoys sleeping in her cot on her own
- She enjoys her grown-up car seat, whereas she cried when we put her in the carry car seat
- Her feet are now a size 5
- We're yet to find a food she dislikes - her favourites include homemade curry
- Lily's vocabulary is ever-growing and she has lengthy conversations with us
We'll continue to update you, hopefully a lot more regularly as the months roll into years. I'm looking forward to this Christmas, as she'll be able to convery her excitement a lot more.
