Happy 1st Birthday, Lucy!! My, my, how the time flies!! I remember just one year ago driving to the hospital to be induced. A lot has happened, and much has been learned in the past year. Lucy is starting to develop her own personality. She wakes up pretty happy these days! (Probably because she is the best little sleeper, ever... for now.. *knock on wood*) She is a pretty simple girl, and doesn't like a whole lot of chaos. She is very serious, so she takes after me a good bit. She is almost walking.. any day now! She laughs at the most random things, and waves at any and every body she sees. She loves music, and will dance or bob her head whenever she hears a beat. She also likes to watch the Mo-Tab choir :).She answers to the names of:
Lucy Lu, Loose, Goose, Goose nut, Scooby Doo, Scooby Snack, Scoobs, & Wubs
(I guess you'd have to know our family to understand the whole "nickname" concept)
She recently went through an independant stage, (when she learned to crawl), and didn't want much to do with me. And NOW, she is at the clingy stage, which, I was looking forward to, but now that it's here, I'm not super sure how I feel about it all the time
She adores her cousin Josie, and loves to crawl all over the "boat-mobile" Josie creates out of pillows when she is here.
We had a family dinner/party for her on her b-day, (April Fool's Day!) It was pretty nice. She ate a huge meal, which resulted in a necessary diaper/clothing change before cake.. hmm :/. I made an angel food layer cake with a pineapple cream filling. It was pretty good! Lucy shoved the animal crackers in her mouth all in one bite! We invited my best friend and her family over for cake/presents. Lucy got a LOT of toys/clothes/books.
My mom made her the traditional "sock monkey" that all of us got when we were little.
Thanks, Granny!!
Today was General Conference, and she played in the living room with all of her new toys during the 2nd session. I started snapping a few pictures of her, and she got the whole "camera" concept finally, and this is apparently her "say cheese" smile.. not sure how I feel about it, as it was a little scary looking! kidding!
Despite a bad case of bed-head and a little monster grin, she is still super cute.
