Reading Time

Lucy loves books! (She gets that from me...) Lucy has a sling book shelf that clearly displays her books and they are easy for her to see pull one out. When Lucy is ready to hear a story, she will select a book, carry it over to me and hand it to me. Then Lucy climbs into my lap and turns herself around, sits down and she is ready for the story! Now mind you, sometimes we speed read the book because Lucy likes to turn the pages all by herself. I was especially excited this past Sunday. Nana Kathy was visiting us and Lucy was getting books for Nana to read. I suggested she get "One Duck Stuck." She went right to the shelf and got the exact right book. What a smart little girl! I hope this is just the start of years of bonding over wonderful stories!

Our Little Toddler...

Lucy is just having a great time getting around now that she has found her walking shoes! Here she is showing off how grown up she is becoming. Our little baby has really crossed over and become a toddler! While it is very exciting, it also bittersweet... Lucy is still so much fun and always full of life. She had a great time earlier today playing and watching her cousins, Zoe and Ella, who came over to visit with Aunt Amy. We had so much fun with them!

Off to a Great New Year!

Happy New Year! I haven't blogged in almost a month - I cannot beleive it... We have really started 2010 off on the right foot. Well, actually on both feet - Lucy is officially walking and has been for a couple of weeks! She chooses walking over crawling the majority of the time. It is so cute to see such a little person toddle around, we are having so much fun!

Walking has made it much easier for Lucy to be a good helper too. After her bath, she will help carry her clothes from the bathroom to her bedroom and put them in the hamper. She is quite proud of this achievement and she really likes helping. What a good girl!
