Splits!!

Love this girl. She won't crawl, but she will do the splits for anything! She came out of the womb wide legged and hasn't closed her legs since.

Go Steelers!

Thanks Miles and Amy! We love our little cheerleader! Hopefully she can cheer them to the Superbowl!

Fun Pictures

I was looking through our pictures and found these gems. I really do love this girl!

8 months old

It hit me the other day that I don’t just have an 8 month old – but I will have a one year old in 4 months. Here are a few things I want to remember.

-Lucy loves to be tickled – I love tickling her neck!

-Lucy knows the sound of the Kleenex box and immediately guards her face with her hands.

-Lucy is still a ‘legs open’ kind of girl. We have caught her doing the splits a few times

-She is just barely getting the hang of baby food – it has been a LONG 3 month process. Christmas day she finally opened her mouth willingly. Nursing an 8 month old full time is quite draining so I am thrilled we are able to get a little bit of solids in her.

-Her favorite foods of choice are sweet potatoes and pears.

-Lucy is our little Indian. When you tap your finger on her lips, she knows just what to do!

-She is still our little steam roller. We put up the gate last week because she was always finding her way to the stairs.

-Lucy is FINALLY sleeping better at night (still not much of a napper). Some nights are still horrible (waking up every 2-3 hours), but I can usually count on one 5 - 6 hour period. I am loving it!

-Lucy is such a talker. She just babbles, yelps, whines, screams, squeals, and makes donkey noises all day long.

-The past month Lucy has decided she hates to get her diaper changed or get dressed.

I love this little girl and I am so happy I get to play with her everyday!
