She still seems like a baby to me! Maybe b/c she is so small. I don't think I updated after her 10 month appt. but she weighed 16 lbs. 10 oz. I don't remember how long she was, but I know her weight was 25% and her height was 50%.
Macey is still pulling up and walking on the furniture, but she won't stand on her own or try to walk. John Henry didn't walk until he was 15 months old, so I am not expecting her to walk anytime soon.
She points now. She gets so excited in the mornings to see Kurt and John Henry. If I am holding her and walking into a room where she knows where they will be, she starts waving as soon as we start walking that way.
I changed her car seat to her big car seat finally. She was getting so heavy in her baby car seat, but it was much more convenient. I rear face my kids until they are 2.5, so she has a while to go in this one! Thankfully, she seems to like it.
Macey had her 3rd haircut the other day. The back grows so much more quickly than the front that we have to get it evened up.
She is a little escape artist as well. I have tried to barricade her in the living room and kitchen, but she moves the stuff and crawls to Bailey's cage.
She points at Bailey and says dog. I think that might be her only new word since my last post.
The biggest news of the month is that she is going to sleep on her own! I have said that I would let her cry herself to sleep when she wouldn't let me get her to sleep within 5 minutes. A few weeks ago she wouldn't let me get to sleep at all. She would stand up and look around and cry if I really tried to make her sleep.
So one Monday I put her down in her bed after I fed her and she fell asleep within 45 seconds! On Tuesday she did the same thing. Wednesday Kurt was not home that night and the kids were being awful! I tried to get Macey to sleep, but she wouldn't so I laid her down. She cried for about 30 minutes off and on. I didn't feel too badly b/c she would put her pacifier in and fall asleep for a few minutes and then wake up and cry some more. The next night she cried for about 8 min. By Friday she was crying when I laid her down, then would be asleep by the time I got downstairs to turn on the monitor.
This is truly an answered prayer! We never let John Henry cry it out, and we have struggled to get him to sleep ever since. I have said that I would let my next child cry it out, but I didn't think that I could actually do it. Maybe it was since Macey cried so much as a baby, but this didn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would. Laying her down in bed and having her go right to sleep is wonderful! She seems to sleep better too. She still wakes up one or two times at night, but I just feed her and lay her back down. In the mornings she has been sleeping until 8:45!
She takes 2 naps a day. One around 10 and the other around 3. She goes to bed anywhere from 7:30-9:30.
