Let me paint a picture. It is 12:15pm right now. Lucy went down for a nap at 11am, she played herself to sleep in her crib. And now she is awake happily playing and talking to herself. I bet if I left her there she would be content for another 30 minutes. I may know this because this is how she is in the morning, too. So, Saturday morning consist of Clint and I snoozing while Lucy plays in her crib. We may have done this until 9:45am on Saturday... Yeah, we are those parents.
Anyways. 10 months.... This has officially been the fasted 10 months of my life. Fastest and BEST. Oh, I love being a Mommy to this little independent, joyful, go with the flow girl.
New this month:
This phase in life has been filled with bruises, black eyes, busted lips, busted gums, knocked heads, slips, and falls. She is into everything and pulls up on everyone and falls from everything. She is tough, but she is also very sensitive.
A few bumps to remember:
-She got her first black eye while in the bathtub in Statesville.
-A week later she busted her lip and gum at Grannah and Pops house. This fall resulted in her cutting 3 top teeth!!
She had her first Easter. Which is was one heck of an Easter. One for the books... Lucy had a fever of up to 103.5 (still unsure what from, no other symptoms, I think teeth... but all doctors say there is no proof that teething causes fevers...) So, when Lucy is sick her Mama is STRESSED and can't deal with anything including having to pick out shoes to wear. We spent Easter at our house (she couldn't be around any babies so this included going to Goldsboro since little cousin Isaac was there!).
We spent a week at the beach! Lucy loved swimming in her bathtub in the from yard at Beaufort and she loved the new sandbox Clint built. She also loved having so much time with her Aunts and Uncles and little cousin Isaac.
Things Lucy does:
-She says "bye bye" and waves all the time.
-She just started saying more "d" and "y" words. Still no clear "mama" or "dada"
-She crawls everywhere. Pulls up on EVERYTHING.
-Loves Picaboo. When you say "Where's Lucy?" she will hide and then we say "there she is" and there she is! haha! It's the little things y'all...
-She loves all food. She has a fond taste for bananas, sweet potato, cheerios, green beans, peas, pumpkin, noodles, cheese, yogurt, blueberries, strawberries.
-She is wearing size 3 shoes, size 3 diapers, 9-12 month clothes
-You have 6 teeth.
-There have been several times of me rocking you to sleep and you have fallen asleep with your fingers in MY NOSE. yes... you come from nose picking genes.
-You love Reynolds and sometimes choose to crawl to him and not me. He doesn't quite love it...
Lucy Rouse! You are so loved! There isn't a day or minute that goes by that I don't thank the Lord for you and thank him that I get the privilege to be your Mama. I love you Lucy! I pray that the Lord will use me and equip me to love and lead you each day.
