5 months. Time is flying!

My Dear Lucy,

Time is going by too fast. I sat here on the computer and scrolled through pictures of you as a newborn. It's hard to believe that 5 short months ago you were born. Things have changed drastically since then (in a good way). What a blessing you are. What a blessing all three of my children are! You, my Lucy, are somethings special. All of my babies have been so widely different, but you are just so easy going. I think God knew that when you came that I needed a pass. You are content, you aren't bothered by all the noise (boys) and you just enjoy sleeping and being held and nursing.
Life is CRAZY right now. I don't want to forget all the little memories you are making for our family. Your brothers love you an insane amount! You may not believe it later down the road, but these boys hug you and kiss you like you are the queen and worship you!
I love you my Lucy Goosey!

love, mommy

4 months!

Happy 2nd Birthday Van!

Back to school!

First grade is here! Summer vacation was wonderful, but by the end Joey was eager to get back to school!

Joey talked about first grade all summer and was super excited for back to school night. He got to see his classroom, meet his teacher and drop off school supplies. That night he was itching to get to bed so the next day could start. 

Of course no first day is complete with out me taking numerous pictures to commemorate.

While Joey was away at school Lucy, Van and I adjusted to a new routine. It involved all around naps! Two hours to be exact! I hadn't taken a nap since before Lucy was born! 

At 4 o'clock the little ones and I walked down to the bus stop to get Joey. Van was so excited to see Joey and Joey spent the rest of the day talking about how amazing first grade was!

Happy 3 Months Goose!

The months are just flying by with you! You are getting taller and slightly leaner. You are officially in 6 month clothes, although I am still able to squeeze you into your 3 month summer dresses and shirts.
With your vast amount of headbands you inspired Mommy to open up her own online boutique selling children's accessories. I am starting out small, with just headbands, but I am eager to see what else I can dream up!
Van is warming up to more and more everyday. At the beginning he just ignored you, then he tried to swat at you, then he tried to put toys on you. Now he offers you his special blanket, forces tuckies into your mouth and he will only give you kisses, no one else.
Joey couldn't be more thrilled to be your brother. He loves you so! Yesterday he said that you would never have to have a boyfriend because he would always be your brother and friend. So sweet!
You are still so mellow. Mommy feels extra blessed to have it this way since the boys can be a tad crazy at times. You just go with the flow, aren't bothered by the loud noise and you sleep well!
You visited Seattle for the first time this month; Grandma Candy even got you a pin! What a good traveler you are!

2 months!

This month you went to your very first wedding (Uncle Cody and Aunt Ashley's), you enjoyed some Lakefair action, and a lot of family got to meet you for the very first time.

One notable funny story. Aunt Holly was over for a barbeque and she picked you up out of your bouncy chair. Little did she know but you just had a massive blowout and it got all over her brand new shirt. It was so bad it required her to take a shower at our house and her shirt being washed!

This month you also had your first set of vaccines. Of course you cried, but your brother, Joey cried even more for you. He was so upset that you had to get shots!

We are working on your sleeping. You do sleep well (like a baby) and in your own crib but I am trying to get you to fall asleep on your own, instead of being nursed to sleep. Last night you slept from 8pm till 2am. I think the only reason you woke up is because I kind of freaked out and wondered why you hadn't woken up yet, so I went in to check on you. =)

We love you so much. Daddy loves oogling over you. He always say you give the pirate eye because one of you tear ducts is clogged and the discharge makes your eye "glued" shut.

Gaining a family member!

Today we celebrated the marriage of Uncle Cody and Aunt Ashley. The day couldn't have been more beautiful. Our family was lucky enough to be in the wedding party and were loving participants in their journey to the alter.
