Merry Christmas

Lucy started walking on the 20th. She stood up walked across the room smiling and giggling. She'd walk back and forth, down the hall and back. There is no slowing her down now!
 She talks so much more, up, dog, cat, done, Dada, Mama. She loves to sing. And look at books, the other day she spent half the day in her room looking at books. I'd go back and check on her and she would be turning pages of a different book.
We went to Jerome for Christmas. On Saturday night we went to the south hills to see the lights, with Dean, Joan, Crystal, Roo and Lily. The weather was perfect. Lucy finally got to see Santa, she wasn't impressed, but she loved the lights. I was so glad we got to go since it will be the last year they will be doing it.
Christmas Eve we opened presents, Lucy loved the paper. She was thrilled to rip and throw and play with it. I think she liked it more than her presents. We got Lucy a bean bag, She loves it. she throws herself into it and sits and looks at books in it.
She loved hanging out with her grandparents. Grandpa gave her soda and Grandma gave her whatever else she wanted.

14 Months, oh my!

Its been a week since her first step by herself and she continues to keep learning. She will stand and walk a step or two and then crawl really fast to wherever she is NO! to everything, I'm pretty sure she knows what it means but then she'll just sit and say it over and over about nothing to no one in particular, so who knows!I think she is going to be an early talker because she already thinks she is talking, and singing. Her newest trick has been trying to ride Frank. (Frank has other ideas) She has also figured out that Dad is the one with the "good" snacks and he will give her sips of  his soda.
She is so cute. If I lay on my stomach on the floor she will come crawl on my back and bounce. And when I get up to give her a ride she laughs and squeals the whole time. One of her other games is to crawl back and forth through the closet, she'll poke her head out of side and giggle and then turn around and go to the other. She is rather good at entertaining herself and anyone watching. She still loves her chair, she will stand up and sit down, crawl and stand on top, and stay happy with it for hours. Who would have thought a chair could make her so happy.
