Life with Lucy

Lucy is just growing so fast!  We can't believe how much progress she has made.  A couple of weeks ago we went to the pediatrician and she is already ten pounds six ounces.  She's two cheeks with a baby attached!


We think Lucy is so photogenic and beautiful!  You can really see her cute little personality shine through.  She still loves her "roo" and actually interacts with the mobile on the top.  There is a black and white side or a colored side to this mobile.  Lucy will sit there and look straight up while kicking her legs and moving her arms!  

Lucy is showing her sweet little smile!  We swear that she even giggles!  She is so happy all of the time.  We thank God for her every day - we have been so blessed with this little bundle of joy!  Sometimes we don't even have to be saying anything to her and she will smile.  Actually, Winnie can make her smile a lot!  Lucy is very intrigued by our little puppy.


Winnie used to sleep in our bed, but lately she likes to sleep right under Lucy's rock 'n' play.  I think she feels rather protective of Lucy.  



Even when running errands, Winnie wants to be under her!  


Naturally, Lucy has been shopping and eating at restaurants all over Houston!  She is so well behaved that it is easy to take her out!  Lucy will sit there in her stroller and watch everything, but her favorite thing to look at are lights!  


Lucy especially loves when we find sales at stores (just like her momma AND her daddy is pretty excited that it's a sale, too).


She gets a bath about every other evening right before bed.  Her face shows that she's not super enthused about getting one, but we think she is liking it better than she has.  


Not to mention that during and after bath time are the ONLY times that her hair is flat.  


Lucy is still sleeping through the night!  Her sleeping schedule is usually 10:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.  We are so thankful for her good sleeping habits! Lucy wakes up and she is all smiles, probably because she knows it's eating time!


Our favorite thing that Lucy does is when she sneezes (usually in groups of three), she sometimes doesn't get a full sneeze in.  She will inhale and shut her eyes like she is going to sneeze, but nothing comes out.  So, she will make a big sigh of relief.  It's the sweetest sound ever!


Cole went to New York City with five of his friends for a long weekend and he missed her so much!  He said he was having some serious withdrawals.  However, Lucy gets to sleep in the big bed when one of us is gone and believe me, she sprawls out!


This past weekend, the MacDonalds were in town to visit before the boys start school again.  They were so excited to see her and how much she has changed.  One thing that Cole and I have learned about seeing our families is that they were more excited to see Winnie than us, and now they are more excited to see Lucy than us!  So, the order of excitement is: Lucy, Winnie, and then us! :)  While they were here, we made Lucy's footprints and handprints in a frame!  


Lucy looks so concentrated on her work of art!


This weekend she will get to see the Meyers and have some more adventures!  

Lucy is such a joy and every day it seems like she has changed in some way or learned something new.    We can't wait to see what she will learn next!  (Maybe she will learn to swipe her VISA at a store like her momma or start strumming the guitar like her daddy!)  We think she's so advanced for her age!  :) Ha.
