Roaring Springs
Took Lucy to Roaring Springs last Tuesday. It opened at 11, and we were there at 10...so we wondered around for a hour before we got in. Lucy seemed to have fun but was tired after an hour. So we went home, napped and ate lunch before heading back. Round two was much better. She loved the wave pool and when it stopped she'd point and look at me saying "oh'no." She found a tube in the kiddie area toward the end of the day and was rather happy to just lay in it and let us drag her around.
Breakfast
Lucy helped herself to breakfast the other morning, apparently I was not fast enough! She took a bite out of every one of those buns! On the bright side she was willing to share :)

21 Months
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy...where to start! My little firecracker! All month for some reason I was thinking Lucy was already 21 months and that today would be 22 months, so today I feel like I gained a month! Anyway, she is growing and learning so much everyday. She has added ring-around-the-roses, to ABC's, Twinkle, Twinkle, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and many other tunes that are hers. She still dances and sways whenever there is music. Loves to play in the water!
Every morning she comes into my room, runs around to my side and says "mama, milk?" or "mama, bar" or "mama, cheese." Normally I pick her up and put her on my bed and she yells "Frank!" and is then distracted for 15 minutes or so.
The other day she was ripping apart my flower so after repeatedly saying "soft" I slapped her little hand and said no. She went, got into her pool sat down and started pulling herself around it in circles, crying, no not crying but more of talking back to me!...She has the funniest little personality.
She has started to come out of her shell a little bit more, waving, saying bye and blowing kisses to people. As long as they are a good distance away.
We have been working on saying prayers before bed and she will now kneel beside me and fold her arms. So the next step is saying amen. She was too cute at dinner on Sunday. We said prayer and began to eat and then she would fold her arms and talk and then look up and say what kind of sounded like a combination of "amen" and "all done." She picks things up rather quickly. I really have to watch what I do around her.
Her other recent trick, is putting her babies in bed, turning on her fan saying "night,night " and closing the door.
She is getting really good at all her puzzles and we are working on recognizing the first 5 letters in the alphabet, and continuing numbers. She can do some animal noises as well as point out some animals she knows. My favorite is when she "ruffs" at Frank, or will bring me the duck puzzle piece and quack.
