Things I love...

Lucy is so much fun! I adore having her in our family. She seems like she's been with us forever, yet it hasn't even been a month. She has changed our lives forever...in a good way of course! I just wanted to document a few of her cute quirks so I can always remember them. This post is more for journal purposes, so it may not be the most entertaining, but it's stuff I don't want to forget.


*She hates her binky....with a passion. I am seriously hoping this changes because there are times when it would be a real lifesaver. She'll suck on it for a second but it doesn't fool her and she immediately spits it out and screams.

*When it's time to feed her as soon as she realizes she's gonna eat she starts open mouth thrashing around like a shark. Makes me laugh every time.

*She grunts and sighs and snores when she sleeps. I had to move her into her room at nights because every little noise she made would wake me up.

*She's been a dream baby at night. We put her to bed around 9 and she usually only gets up around 2:00 or 3:00, eats and goes back to sleep and then wakes up around 7. I'm just waiting for this to change and for her to be up all night. So I'm enjoying this while I can.

*She hates hates hates getting her diaper changed. She screams bloody murder every time and kicks and thrashes around like crazy. Makes for a challenge.

*She is so strong. I struggle trying to hold her legs apart while I change her. I try and tell her I'm on her side, but she doesn't care!

*She isn't a huge fan of her swing, but she loves to be swung (?) in her car seat. I don't understand it, but there apparently is a difference.

*She loves her bath time and does really well. Even when we accidentally pour water in her eyes...

*She likes when I sing her Beatles songs. She already has good taste :)

*She has a tint of red in her hair and that makes me so happy!

That's all I can think of now. It's so fun to get to know her personality, even at such a young age. She's such a little muffin. We love you Lucy!

3 weeks old

My sweet little girl is 3 weeks old today! And this is how she feels about it! Classic.
I can't believe it. Not sure how I feel about that actually. She's so close to being a month old and I can't believe how fast it went by. I just always want her to be little and not grow up. Lucy has brought so much joy into our lives. And also has changed our lives completely. It is all about her now and everything revolves around Lucy time. I just love her so much and I can't imagine her not being in our family. And let's not even talk about what she's done to Brandon. Oh wow that man is smitten with her. And I love it. He has so much patience with her and me for that matter :) He's so good at letting me sleep and taking her when she just doesn't want to sleep. He has tummy time with her and plays with her. She adores him.

Lucy amazes me every day. I can't believe how strong she is. She can basically hold her head up already and has been able to since she was like 5 days old. I may or may not have cried because I thought she was growing up too fast. I went in her bedroom the other morning to feed her and she had some how Harry Houdini'd herself out of her blanket completely and had scooted to the other end of her crib?!! What the?!!! I was so confused how she could have done that, but she did. Unless Brandon snuck in there and did that just to confuse me, I wouldn't put it past him.

Here are some pictures of our little beauty!

See what I mean about holding her head up? Yeah pretty sure she's the most brilliant baby ever.
Love that smile! Sure it may be gas but I pretend like it's because she thinks I'm funny. And don't you worry, I spend lot's of my time dancing and making funny faces trying to get this girl to smile.
