Shhh little baby...

Today was a rough day for Lucy and Mommy. Lucy did not want to leave Mommy's lap and cried at the slightest provocation. I think the shots left her sore and affected her appetite. She didn't eat or drink much today (which is a normal side effect of the shots.)

DON'T WANNA

Lucy had her 12 month check up today. We were supposed to see Dr. Holly Loux at 11:30, but she had some medical problems of her own. So we ended up going to see Dr. James Pera at 5:30. Lucy and I really liked Dr. Pera and are going to keep seeing him. He is in the same office as Dr. Holly. Lucy is 17 pounds 4 ounces and healthy as a horse. Dr. Pera said he was very happy with how Lucy is growing and that she is perfectly healthy. He also advised us to create some ground rules and discipline guidelines now because the terrible twos actually start now and peak at two. He said that if we don't start now, then Lucy will be the boss before we know it. Lucy did really well with the shots. She only had to have two shots this time and she got a Daffy Duck sticker for being so good. She goes back the end of November for the last set of immunizations until kindergarten.

Lucy the Explorer

This is the infamous Dora toy. Linda thinks it's hilarious that it is so loud. Lucy thinks it's pretty cool too.














The people on front sing and dance when you honk the horn.

















Mr. Bear likes to go for a ride.



















Duct tape works wonders for muffling the sound. Now everyone loves the toy.

It's good to be one!!

Mommy and Grandma Linda baked Lucy a yummy funfetti cake today. Lucy liked sticking her fingers in the cake and almost got the flame while Mommy was cheesing for this picture. Luckily Grandpa Ray was there to warn us.
Hmmmm...what now?
Oh...we eat it.

Story Time

Grandma Linda and Grandpa Ray came to visit this weekend. They arrived a little after 6 last night. We went to Roundheads for pizza and then came home to play and open presents. http://www.roundheadspizza.com/ Lucy liked watching the loud softball players that were sitting behind us. And the grownups enjoyed talking. Our pizza took about an hour to cook, so we had loads of time. We got home after 9, but Lucy was still full of energy. She had a good time opening presents. (I didn't take pictures this time, but Ray and Linda have tons.) Lucy's favorite toy from Ray and Linda is a Dora the Explorer ride on toy. It makes lots of noise and she likes to push it. After all the present fun, we had to wind down so Grandma and Grandpa took turns reading stories. We finally got to bed at 11:30.

I'm gonna get you.

This is Lucy climbing on mommy trying to get the camera. Lucy likes to crawl all over Mommy and Daddy when we lay on the floor.

Feet First

Lucy likes to climb up on the couch. Especially if that is where Libby is sleeping. The photo on the right is of her getting down on her own after chasing Libby off . Jon and I have said, "Feet first" at least 500 times in the last few weeks. She hasn't had any head bonks off the couch for a while, so I think it is working. Libby is learning that baby is boss. She can either endure the ear poking or find somewhere else to sleep. I think she secretly likes the attention because she is always close by Lucy.

The second interview with the hospital went great! I met with Gary at 12:30 and I was walking out the door by 12:45. He said that he trusted Audra's judgment and he just wanted to make sure I was good people. He pretty much said welcome aboard, but I will find out for sure early next week.



Lucy is still poofy faced today and her nose is running like a fountain. I think she is teething. This is how she was when the other teeth came in and since she was poofy before we saw the animals I don't think it is an allergy. She does pretty well when she's not feeling good. Just a little more cuddly and slower than usual.
