Puzzle Master

Lucy really likes this puzzle. The knobs make it easy for her to take the pieces out and put them back in.
The dance lessons have really paid off!

It's story time

Both Libby and Daisy were listening to Lucy read, but Daisy left when she saw me coming.

Sheriff Lucy

Daddy says this shirt makes Lucy look like a sheriff because of the star on the front.

Lucy had a good first day back at daycare. The other kids were happy to see her and wanted to help take her coat off so she could play with them faster. The teacher said that Lucy must have had a really good vacation because she was in a great mood all day and played with the other kids more than usual.

I replaced the zipper on Jon's coat tonight. I thought he was exaggerating when he said it didn't work anymore, but when he was shoveling the driveway in a heavy work shirt I figured I better do something because he won't buy a new one.

Game Day

Pregame warm up.












Cheering on Mizzou!

Having so much fun!

Lucy gets excited and says baby when I get this doll out. She ignores the other ones.

We have not started potty training, but it was nice of Santa to bring a chair. Lucy had a lot of fun sitting on her new chair until she decided to stand in it. Then her feet got stuck and she started crying.
Daddy got a hair cut today. Lucy had just bonked her head on the coffee table before I took this picture.
This is Lucy less than a minute later. She recovers fast. We had a follow up visit at the doctor today. He said that Lucy was much better and didn't have much congestion.

In case you were wondering...
