Annnnnnnd...She's OFF!

In the past few weeks since my last post...



...so...


...much...


...has HAPPENED..!


Lucy started CRAWLING the day after Easter, April 13! She was getting close, yet to me, still seemed so far away. She has appeared so content to kind of tripod and keep her one leg under her. Then, one day she just DID it. It was crazy.

And immediately our lives have not been the same.

As soon as Lucy started crawling, she started pulling up on anything and everything (furniture, me, and dangerous/movable things like the vacuum). She stands pretty steady as long as she can hold on or lean on something (sometimes just Mommy or Daddy's finger!), and cruises all around the room. She especially has found a lot of humor in purposely letting go of whatever she is holding onto while standing, and giving a big ol' cheesy grin while she falls back on her bottom.

Oh, Sweet Lucy!

I can't believe she's just a few days shy of being 9 months old. Where has the time gone?!?!? When she plays with her buddy, Aiden, there is less and less of an age difference (they are 6 months apart). A few months ago, Aiden seemed so big and older, while Lucy was little and incapable of most things. Now, the gap is closing, and they will hopefully be able to play together doing (mostly) the same things.

There are also some new babies on the way this summer (not for US, mind you), so Lucy is getting excited to make new friends (Bubba Latta premiering on or around June 13!)

Here are some photos. While it's not the same as watching a live video (I've not yet figured out how to do this), you get the general idea.




Going to do what Lucy does best: Pulling all the books off of the bottom 2 shelves...just to watch Mommy pick them all up...and then doing it again...


Scaling the Mommy-made Graco Barrier. She's quite adventurous.

Lucy crawling! Just TRY to snap a photo, Mom!


Somehow able to snap a quick photo of Lucy
climbing up on her favorite jungle gym: Mommy.
