Special 100th Blog Edition

Thanks to our readers for all your support. Without you we never could have made it to 100 posts. This is a very special edition just for you.

Little girl

Lucy had her 18 month checkup yesterday. The doctor said she was growing and developing well. Now she only has to go for yearly checkups at 2yrs, 3yrs etc. So our Lucy is no longer a baby. She is wee little though she weighed in at 19lbs 8oz which is in the less than three percentile. The doctor said not to worry about her being small though, because she has a steady growth chart and is healthy. I forgot to take the book and I already lost the posty with her other measurements, but Lucy is in the 10th percentile for height and 50th percentile for head circumference.

Poor Libby

Libby has had a rough few days, but I think she will survive. On Friday Lucy and I took her to the vet for the first time since moving. She was due for her rabies vaccine. The vet was really nice and Lucy liked watching the other dogs. There were a couple of little white dogs hopping around that really caught her eye. I think they reminded Lucy of Peanut (the dog at her babysitter in Champaign).

Marching to the beat

Lucy likes to wear her snow boots to swim class because they are warm and easy to get on and off.
This is Lucy in the locker room at the pool. She is watching one of the other kids be silly.
This is Lucy getting ready to make a mad dash for the pool. Her wet suit is insulated, so it keeps her warmer than just a regular swim suit. Daddy is supposed to come with us next Tuesday, so hopefully we can get some water pictures.
Lucy calling all her friends to tell them how fun swim class is.
Hey! I'm not done yet.
