Thanksgiving

We went got to go to a cabin up in Tamarak for Thanksgiving, with Chads parents, Brad and Alicia and his Aunt Anita and family. Thanks goodness it was a big cabin! It was a nice relaxing, uneventful weekend.

In other news, Lucy took her first strps last night! She stood up in the bathroom and walked toward the tub, and you could tell she was very proud of herself. She has also started singing what sounds like " up above the stars so high" she has the tune down, sometimes it is closer than others but needless to say it's pretty darn cute.

Lucy's 1 year pictures and up date

Been busy playing, We went to Utah for a girls weekend last weekend. Got to see everyone. We had a little craft, went shopping, had a nice dinner and played ticket to ride.Good times.
Lucy got four teeth! Two first molors and two top K9s. Wow! No wonder she hadn't been happy little self. She has also decided that she likes to hold on to one hand and walk. She will sit and crack herself up, its so funny. She is curious about everything and tries to touch and climb anything she can. Its amazing to watch her and see how fast she learns things.
Also when Lucy and I visited Natasha and family for Halloween, Tasha and I did a little photo shoot with Lucy, and then Mandi was sweet enough to do some editing on them! And I just got to see them!

 

13 months

Well Lucy is 13 months old, well onto her way to toddler hood.
Lucy had been a bit fussy the last couple of days and we couldn't figure out what her problem was. She would act tired but wouldn't sleep. she'd act hungry, we'd offer her food and she wouldn't eat. On top of that we found a weird lump on the front of her arm pit. So we took her to the doctor and she has a double ear infection! Poor kid, no wonder she'd been fussy. I guess we can't complain since its the first one in over a year. the Doctor also said that since this is her first on and she's a year old that there is a smaller chance of her getting another one and ever needing tubes. And as for the lump...we had to have an ultra-sound on it and we have to have a second option. But we're thinking/hoping/praying its nothing and will go away on it's own.
Other than that Lucy has been busy as ever. I've been trying to figure out where to take a picture of her every month and decided to try out chair, it was hard to pin her down so I tried her chair and it was a bit harder so we'll have to try again next month and see which will be better.

November Already!

Where to start! Seems like we've been partying none stop the past couple of weeks. Chad's new job has been going well.I got some new crowns on my teeth. and Lucy, where to start with Lucy? She is busy, busy, busy. She has been saying mama, dada, u-oh, no-no and up.
She is mostly happy. I love her giggles and laughter. When chad tickles her and steps back I love the way she wiggles in excitement when he just looks at her like he might come back and tickle her some more. I love that she waves to the dog. I love that she says u-oh when she drops things. Lately she tries to mimic what you say. Today she would hand me something and I would say "thanks" and then hand it back and say "here you go", and she would try and say "thanks" and "go".
I love her hugs, and cuddles, even the 2 in the morning cuddles. When she wakes up crying and all she wants is to be held close. It's so funny when she is into something like the dog food and I say no-no and she drops it and crawls away as fast as she can giggling. I love the way she inspects new objects and toys and the way she checks out a person before she decides to smile at them to to act shy. I love when she looks down at something, she lifts her chin and looks over her cheeks. I love that she is so happy to greet me when I come home from work, and how she follows chad around when he gets home. She will even stand at the edge of the tub while he showers and "talk" to him.
I love how she sits up in her car seat and looks out the window, and when she falls asleep, and the harness holds her up. It still makes me smile when she packs toys around in her mouth like a little puppy, I know she learned that from Frank.
More recently,we went to trunk or treat with Brad and Alicia, Curtis and Crystal and Dean and Joan, and the girls. Had lots of fun. Lucy was a cat/panda. It was a cute furry cat costume, but it kinda looked like a panda. Chad took her around to the cars and she fell asleep.
Lucy and I went to Kimberly for Halloween, and my dentist appointment. I took Lucy around with Luke and Anna. Tasha and girls were all Greek goddesses, and Korey was Zuse. Frank was a piolet and Luke was an airplane and I can't remember who nicole was but it all went together, very cute.
