Miss L is 10 months

  Lucy is 10 months and is impossible to take pictures of.  

Especially when I stick anything on her head. She still refuses to wear any type of bow, headband or hat. Actually, I can't even really take her out with socks on because it is a guarantee that she will take them off and I will lose them. I am not sure how many socks I have lost in stores.

She rather just carry them in her mouth.

 

The best smiles I could get out of her today where when she was looking at herself in the (very dirty) mirror. 

 

Lucy is busy as ever and into everything. 

I think she can literally pull out a whole thing of wipes in a matter of seconds. 

 Today, she swiped Elsa's pp&j sandwich, stuffing it in her mouth and then 2 minutes later, I caught her grabbing a piece of fudge 

 She skipped cutting her top front teeth and is going straight to her incisors. She will have one cute but funny smile once those are all the way in.

In other news, we are down to one car until the Passat gets worked on. The girls and I have been home all week. It's Thursday, and we are definitely starting to feel it. E is like me and needs to get out or she gets a little crazy! 

 So, we've been making cookies, Christmas crafts/projects and playing lots of candy land.

 We  are doing Elf on the shelf this year. I got lucky last year and found it for about 6 bucks after Christmas last year.

 Elsa named him Bruno.

We dont really follow all the rules there are in the book but E loves to find him in the morning.

 E thought it was especially funny that Bruno was "sharing" her Christmas cookies and that we could do somersaults!

Lucy at 9 months

Sweet Lucy is 9 months old already. It's hard to believe she is this old. Her early months are still so fresh in my mind! She maybe has scarred me a little from wanting to go through the newborn stage again with another ,but I sure do love my sweet Lucy girl. 9 months is such a fun age. This list is more for my memory/record (probably very boring for you reading this) but at 9 months she:

* Crawls (fast)

* Pulls herself up but not quite crusing yet.

* Loves to feed herself

* Miralax is her best friend!

* Eats everything (I am amazed at what I find in her diapers)

* Doesn't like anyone she doesn't really know holding her. 

* LOVES when Alex gets home from work. She keeps her eye on him and is just so happy!

* Still nice and chunky- weighing in around 23/24 lbs

* Is a champ at going to sleep own her own but still loves to get up several times at night. (maybe that is why her newborn months are so fresh in my mind, we are still living them!)

* Still only 2 teeth but thinking I can feel two more coming in on top

*waves and claps

*hates anything on her head- bows, headbands, hats, etc. : (

* E and Darcy are her best playmates (poor Darcy!)

 See the drool? She can soak through her clothes in about two seconds!

 She had enough of the bows and sticker!

Just for fun. Here is Lucy and E at 9 months old...

happenings

Lucy girl turned 8 months....

Lucy outgrew her car seat so we had to do some switching around and get a new one for E.

The box has been the source of hours of fun for the girls.

Lucy crawled one crawl (how else do you describe that?). She got her big belly off the ground, got up on her knees and moved a little! 

 E was trying hard to motivate Lucy to crawl to her...

 All this cheering on usually leaves us with a frustrated little girl making a face like this...

We have lots of school buses that go through our neighborhood and also a big black spider that has made it's web outside the house. E spends lots of time looking out this window.

 Yay for dressing the girls alike! 

Some of these pictures were just too funny...

Especially this one!

Lucy Kate at 7 months!

*has 2 teeth

*loves to eat. Her favorites might be peas, pears and sweet potatoes (though she will pretty much eat anything which you could probably tell just by looking at her) 

* A little sleep training and figuring out she can sleep on her belly has this girl putting herself to sleep and waking up playing in the morning. (not quite sleeping all the way through the night but we've come a long way)

* Is still very attached to me in every way possible. If I am even just out of her line of vision she lets us all know it. Thank goodness for wearing your baby!

* Is once sweet sweet girl. She had me worried in the beginning but is turning out better than I could of imagined!

 I find her with this face a lot. She has discovered her teeth with her tongue!

 Lucy likes to carry things around using her mouth
