Summer's almost here

It's been a great week...or two. I've been wondering if Chad's been slipping Lucy miracle grow behind my back. She is growing and changing right before my eyes. I am always so thankful she is such a good baby, and she has a great easy going spirit.
She's SO close to really crawling, she can get around already but is still mastering the crawl. She has figured out how to splash in the "tub," she makes a huge mess and has such a good time doing it. She now has 4 teeth and seems to be working on number 5 and 6. She is also a little cord charmer, kind of like a snake charmer, I can put her in the middle of the room and some how she will find a cord! I think she will talk early, She seems to "talk" all the time. Her latest sound is like a whistle on a teapot, it might be higher, the dogs bark.
I have to say I love her summer clothes! Its kinda of a bitter sweet thing, they make her look older but its so cute to see all her rolls! It makes me want to bite her little arms.
She and Frankie seem to be getting closer. She grabbed his coller the other day, and he dragged her a couple feet. It was pretty funny, he looked very confused and she loved it, thought it was so much fun.
She figured out how to play peek a boo the other night. She was in her crib and pulled a blanket onto her self and wiggle in excitement till I pulled it off and then she would laugh and laugh, she was entertained for almost an hour. So cute!

Mothers Day

Mothers Day has not been a holiday that I've looked forward to in many years. In fact I have to admit it was one that I would have gladly ignored. This year was much better. I got to spend the day with family and most important my little Lucy. I feel so blessed to have her. She is such a good baby, and though this might be the calm before the storm, I will take it.
 I was told by many people that I would know what it means to love unconditionally and I have to say that they are right. Having a baby has also given me respect for my body. I realize how miraculous our bodies really are.To be able to produce a perfect little baby and go back to functioning again.
 I look at her daily and think to myself how blessed I am to be able to be with her. There are times I am so over whelmed by her cuteness.
Its amazing to watch her grow and learn, to watch her play and try to communicate.I love being a mom, from the sleepless nights to the poopy diapers, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Baby days

Seems like Lucy has grown so much in just a couple of weeks. She has stopped taking her pacifier and is done with a bottle, and just a couple of days ago her first top tooth popped thru. (YAY) She has been funny when I put her down for her naps she'll roll around and play with her toys for 5-10 mins and then fall asleep.She has also figured out how to turn her aquarium on and off. I got up last night to feed her at 2am and she had turned it on!
  We have replaced the bottle with a sippy cup. She is still getting use to the cup since the milk comes out so much faster. She is almost crawling. She wiggles, squerms and rolls herself around, the dogs better start to watch out.

7 Months

Lucy figured out how to get around her toy this week it's pretty cute. She has also started getting her top teeth in. She has gone back to getting up twice a night (boo). She is no longer happy to shop in her car seat. As soon as we stop to go inside she is arching her back and trying to get out of her seat. She loves sitting in the shopping cart and looking around.

Teeth

Its funny that just weeks ago, We would look at Lucy's little gummy toothless grin and think that she couldn't get any cuter. Chad would love it when she would gum his fingers and now suddenly there are two little white teeth poking thru those gums and we think, oh my how cute, she couldn't possibly ever be any cuter!

Not much going on

Life has been going way too fast. Lucy has been finding her voice. She's always making new sounds. And she has TWO teeth! She had been cranky the week before Easter and I couldn't figure out what her problem was till I looked in her mouth Friday before Easter and say the raised bumps. One broke threw and then the other, they are still coming in but she has been much happier. She could have been happier sooner if she would have let me give her some medicine, but she would lock her jaw and clamp her little lips together and not let anything through! She must not have gotten the Emery love for meds DNA.
We've been giving her baths almost every night and she seems to be loving the water and floating toys.
I gave her a pickle. It was pretty funny,because she would make a face and then try and eat it again.

Easter

Lucys first Easter! We went to Jerome for the day, and just relaxed. the Easter bunny came, and brought a new toy for her, golf stuff for Chad and a purse and shirt for me. She got her toy a bit early but what can I say I was so excited!
She has figured out that she can roll around to where she wants to go, in the pictures below she had rolled and wiggled over to Frank. and as you can tell Frank is just thrilled to say the least.
