Happy Birthday Lucy!

I can't believe that our baby girl is already one year old today! This year really went by quickly. Our little Lucy girl has brought so much joy into our home and lives. She is so much fun, has such a cheery smile, which she shares freely, and she has a good sense of humor. Lucy is really an amazing little person - she is laid back and almost always seems to be able to go with the flow, she laughs so often and she frequently squeals with delight at the simplest things (and quite loudly I might add!)

Lucy has learned a lot during her first year and I am amazed by all the things she can do. Here are just a few that are on the top of my head that I think are funny or cute... Lucy understands if you ask her if she'd like you to read her book. She will go over to the books and choose one for you. Usually it is her Happy Baby Colors book, so that one must be her favorite. When she is doing something she isn't supposed to do, or doesn't think she is, she gives the funniest look and kind of laughs even while you are telling her no - testing the limits already! She gets so excited when she thinks she is getting away with something. She will "climb" up into my lap and put her arms around my neck to hug me - so sweet! When I am rocking her, sometimes she will take my hand and open it, then place it on her cheek and just lean in... Lucy can, and does, put all of her tub toys back into the colander that we have in the tub to hold them. She is quite proud of herself when she gets them in there too. That is probably enough to share for now.

Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl! We love you!
