Time to back up to April and write as much as I remember. Luckily I wrote some things on my spare calendar about Lynlee's milestones. On April 7th Josh and I decided to lower Lynlee's mattress to the lowest level and while we were at it we decided to take the front of the crib off and turn it into a toddler bed. Lynlee loved it and was so excited to be able to get in and out of her bed as she pleased. She did a wonderful job taking a nap in her bed that day. When night time came it was a completely different story! She seemed to be terrified to be left alone. We got her into bed, calmed her down and left. Well she started to cry. So daddy went back down, worked on getting Lynlee calmed down again and then left. He saw her roll out of bed and chase him as he closed the door. She was screaming and pounding on the door. So we hurried and put the front of the crib back on and Lynlee went right to sleep. What an adventure, we haven't tried it again. We have bought a swimming noodle to put under her sheet for the next time we take off the front so she has something that makes it feel like she is being kept in.
A couple of days later we started noticing that Lynlee was repeating the sound "ba" and "da." She is very interested in talking. On April 11th they started to transition Lynlee into the big kid room at daycare, which has 1 and 2 year olds. She absolutely loved being with the older kids. Lynlee is super adventurous and likes going down slides. We have been teaching her to go down the stairs on her belly. Well she decided to run form mommy and go down on her belly face first. She was laughing the whole way down and her chin hit every step.
Josh and I are amazed with how smart Lynlee is. She has learned to use her sign language to communicate a lot of things. On April 14th she was able to say: more, all done, please, up, and down. Only a month later she was able to also sign thank you.
April 17th, Lynlee is really fussy and in a lot of pain because she is getting 4 molars at once. She has a teething ring for molars and she has fallen asleep multiple times with it in her mouth. She still does a good job sleeping, but occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night whining because her mouth hurts. We can normally get her to get back to sleep without any problems. Some evenings because her teeth are bothering her Josh has to hold her until she falls asleep. It is so cute! Josh normally leaves her room with a big wet ring on his shoulder. She rubs her face and nose all over.
At the end of April Lynlee entered a new phase of being the biggest ham ever. She is learning that she can get laughs by performing. She loves to laugh and is such a happy baby! We are so blessed to have her and we are excited to see what the future holds.
