Lucy is One!


Lucy at one:

*Loves to say Daddy and Uh-Oh
* is a climber. She pushes E's small chair over to the windows and climbs up to try and look out. I         have also caught her trying to climb onto the fridge shelf, into the dishwasher, and in her rocking chair. Have to keep a good eye on this girl. 
*Cruising everywhere.
*Has taken about 15 steps.
* Gives lots of kisses and blows kisses.
*Has plateaued in her weight. She is till about 25.5 lbs but has gone from the 99% to 94% percentile!
*Prefers to feed herself., Spits out anything I spoon feed her. Is a super messy eater.
*Loves to try and put shoes, socks, hats, and clothes on.
*Some of her favorite things are the stairs, she can climb out stairs in about 10 seconds! The dishwasher, cell phones, and the bath.
*in the process of trying to get her to take a sipppy and kick the pacifier habit (only has it at night now).

We had a family get together the Sunday after Lucy's actual birthday. She loved digging into the cake like I thought she would...



Lucy didn't know what to think about the sprinkles on top!

 After some tasting, she dug right in..




 Still trying to pick up the sprinkles!



 She liked the idea of using a spoon.








 Then we opened presents...

Lucy didn't know what to think. E of course was more than happy to help Lucy!

 Eating the paper seemed to be what she really wanted to do!


 I made this rag doll for Lucy, though she was not too interested in it.

 E told me that it should be her dolly since it looks like her. I guess I will be making another one!

 She was much more into the box that I wrapped it in! 


 A fun little kitchen from Grandpa, Grandma & Uncle Royce. Both girls love it!

 E got a fun Poncho from Grandpa and GG. She loves it!


A fun comparison picture of the girls on their first birthdays. Same outfits and all! 


 It was lots of fun celebrating our Lucy girl. Hard to believe that she is a year old already. We sure do love her! 

I thought I would sneak some pics in here from the Superbowl...

 Grandpa happy with the Ravens.
 Lucy very interested in what Grandpa was doing.
 Kisses for Dad

I have some videos of the birthday and of the girls dancing to Beyonce at the super bowl but they are long so once I figure out how to cut and edit them I'll post!

The time has come....

I haven't posted for close to a month. I suppose I should start taking pictures again and get back to the blog.

My baby girl will be 1 next Wednesday (I guess I should also, get on her 11 month picture/post too). I decided that it was time to clean out the deep freezer of all the pumped milk she wouldn't take and some that is past it's prime. I stopped pumping about a little over a month ago and for some reason, it is still really hard for me to want to part with all this (and the milk I still need to clean out of Grams' freezer).....

So today, I am mourning a little.  I know it is probably a little silly, but after spending almost 11 months attached to your breast pump every 2-5 hours around the clock, you do become a little attached to it all.

On another note, my sweet Lucy girl is starting to take steps.




 She really loves standing up, clapping and then trying to come to you as you cheer her on. It is really cute.



Oh and Elsa started Primary at church and is loving it...
