Lucy’s Blog

I know I sound so cliché, but really, it all needs to SLOW DOWN.  Lucy is a LITTLE KID now.  The only time I feel like she’s a baby is when I’m rocking her to sleep-and she’s even getting too big to fit in my lap comfortably.

She’s really starting to try and verbalize.  The words we heard a lot this week? “Daycare” (yes really), “Banana”, “Ball”, “Teeth”, “Shoes”, “Feet”, “Mama”, “Dada”, “Daddy”, “Cheese”, “Up”, “Down”, and “Nigh-Nigh”.  She’s trying to say much more but those are the ones that we can understand.

She’s also running now!  And climbing!  She’s still very cautious but she did get a bloody nose at daycare this week :(  She tripped over a toy she was playing with and bonked her nose pretty hard.

Lu can also point out her nose, eyes, mouth, teeth, ears, head, tummy, knees and toes.  She can point them out on US too 😉

We’re also going through what I’ve dubbed the “Willful Ones”.  Many more fits are getting thrown :(  On Monday I want to pick her up from Daycare and she didn’t want to get in the car.  She SCREAMED and arched her back for 15 minutes-I’m not exaggerating.  I was that parent out in the daycare parking lot.  Once I got her in her seat, she cried halfway home and then was all giggles.  She’s also started fighting us in the morning and the evening with diaper changes.  Thankfully, she’s finally attached herself to something-a bear that cousin Luke gave her over a year ago.  She’s never really had any sort of “lovie” but on Friday night she was upset before bed and she pointed at the bear.  Shaun got the bear and Lu stopped screaming.  The bear hasn’t left her side since.  When you ask her “Where’s Bear?”  she’ll hold him up-it’s very cute.

Lu has always had an appetite but it’s grown all of the sudden! I feel like she’s constantly eating!  I joke that I’m on the Lu diet because she’ll eat her serving and then half of mine.

She’s still under 20 pounds though-at 19 pounds 4 ounces.

Alright, the fun stuff. Pictures!

Playing with the tunnel that Mimi and Papa got her:

 

 

Looking VERY serious:

 

Coloring with her notebook and crayon:

Playing with Mommy’s keys (very off limits-she was excited):

What Mom? (Bananas are her new favorite food.  She eats at least one a day.  I have to cut her off or else she’d eat many more)

 

With Bear:

 

 

Playing around:

 

 

Watching cartoons with Daddy.  She really doesn’t watch much tv but Daddy gets cuddles when he puts on a cartoon.  She watched for about 10 minutes today.  I think that’s her first 10 minutes of tv this year.

A blurry, but cute, picture:

 

 

A more in focus, but not as cute one (notice Bear):

Eating frozen yogurt:

 

Why yes, she is eating in almost ALL of these pictures.  That’s because she’s almost ALWAYS eating.  Plus it’s the only time she’s still enough for me to get a picture.

 

Don’t forget to leave a comment!  We read them to Lu!
