Weighing in at 19.5 pounds!
Raelynn has been part of our lives for an entire year, but it seems she has always been apart of our family. She fits so perfect. She brings so much laughter that I cannot imagine not having over the past year. Raelynn is beautiful, and I pray she grows to be beautiful inside, chasing the Lord with all of her might, and loving others with every fiber of her body.
These last few weeks have been pretty difficult with her. It was really tough for me because she has been so easy up until recently! She wasn't napping, she would take forever to go down at night, and she was so cranky. All. day. long. It was awful. I started noticing some other changes in her, and realized that she wasn't getting enough milk. Man I still feel awful! She went through a little over two weeks before I realized she was probably dehydrated! We switched her to formula recently, and our happy, little girl is back. Plus, she's already gained back the weight she lost!
And Raelynn is crawling! Hallelujah! I wasn't sure if this day would ever come! She has no speed whatsoever, and is just happy to slowly crawl to wherever looks interesting. I mean SLOWLY. Once the boys figured out crawling, they became speed demons right away, getting into everything imaginable. Raelynn just takes her precious time, and is just now starting to get into things.
Here are her happenings over the last month:
~ She has 6 teeth; 4 on top, 2 on bottom
~ She pulled herself up in her crib for the first time about two weeks ago, so we finally lowered her crib
~ She started pulling herself up everywhere (not walking around things yet, just content to stand there)
~ Anytime she starts fussing, Elias will drop whatever he is doing, run to her and start clapping in her face. She thinks it's the funniest thing, and starts squealing and clapping with him
~ She is a little oinker. No kidding, this girl eats all the time! She really wants whatever we're eating. At dinner, she'll throw tantrums if she doesn't have exactly what we are having. It's quite ridiculous, but it's been so nice not having to make baby food every week!
~ She has been crawling for about a week
~ She loves being outside, music, and her brothers.
~ She just started blowing kisses, and it may just be the cutest thing ever!
Oh Raelynn, you are such a gift to our family! We all adore you so much!
