Happy Memorial Day!

Lucy had an interesting weekend... She started off with a Friday home with Daddy. Daddy dressed Lucy in jeans, because he loves when she wears jeans (see picture below). It was a good thing that Lucy was home with Daddy because she developed a fever mid-morning. This could be from a bug she got at daycare, but we think it is because she is starting to cut her first tooth! There is a tiny corner of a tooth sticking up on the lower left side of Lucy's mouth. Maybe the fever was because of a virus though, because she had other symptoms that were making her a less-than-happy-camper. Lucy ended up with a really bad diaper rash! The upside to this is that she got to lay around in her birthday suit most of the day on Saturday, which she really seemed to enjoy. This made it super-easy to grab and play with her feet. See, there is a silver lining to every cloud. Luckily, several baking soda baths and all the naked sleeping, seem to have cured the rash, only a few small blotches remain.

Despite having an irritated bum, and feeling crummy, Lucy was still all smiles. What a girl! She is really enjoying reaching for new and interesting things. Lucy would love to get her hands on the remote control, anything we are eating or drinking, any toy that is nearby, my earrings and especially Dewey's tail! Lucy is doing better with tummy time (she is not really a big fan) because she spends most of the time reaching for things, which is exciting. She is also making crawling motions, so it won't be long now before she is on the go!

Sunday was more fun - Lucy was less irritated, had no fever and seemed to be dealing well with cutting her tooth. We visited the Nolan's for a pre-Memorial Day celebration. We had a great time and enjoyed some yummy food!

Today, we enjoyed being outside for a BBQ. Lucy loved feeling the wind blow through her hair. Her sleep patterns were strange though, and I am not sure if she is still feeling a little under the weather. She is refusing to fall asleep now and is thrashing about and grunting with her Dad. He has asked me to share that she "is a very scutchy baby."
