Sorry to blind you all with my glorious white arms, but I had to show you Lucy's favorite place to be these days. She'll bounce up and down like she's bull riding and get the biggest, goofiest grin on her face. I usually get in front of a mirror so I can watch her.
She refused to lean back in her bouncer so she sat like this. I thought it was funny.
Yay for highchairs! Our neighbors are so awesome for letting us borrow their baby stuff. Thanks again Jen & Nate! :)
She loves her little snacks.
She's drinking out of a sippy cup...sort of. She mostly just chews on the spout and shakes it because it makes a fun noise.
Luce & Mom being sillies
This is what she's doing these days. I think she just might skip the whole crawling thing and go straight to walking. She loves standing up and walking with Mom & Dad's help.
Here she is in crawling stance. I swear she is just messing with us. She'll get up like that and rock back and forth a few times and then plop back on her belly. I'm fine with her taking her sweet old time because once she crawls I'm pretty sure I will be chasing her around for the rest of my days. That girl has A LOT of energy.
What was that? You got a problem with my crew cut?
She was just chillin like this with one leg resting on the coffee table.
We stopped swaddling her in December and she loves the freedom. She usually sleeps on her back with her arms straight out in T formation. There really is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby. She always has to sleep with her pink giraffe.
This is just to show you that our once teeny tiny weeblit is not so teeny tiny anymore. I love her little rolls.
Love that buddha belly too.
Cheese!
Lucy and Mom photoshoots are a regular activity at our house. They are too fun. This girl comes up with some pretty funny faces...
...like this one! Ha ha! Is that a little Trey or what?!
I just love that little face.

The taggie. I love love LOVE the butterfly fabric. Thank you Alexander Henry.
Lucy is all about the tags on everything so she had a hay day when I gave this blanket to her.
I'm hoping that because I have all my projects written down on the blarg that I will be more accountable for them and actually start and FINISH them.
My sissy-in-law Lolo sent me this awesome book on all these fun ditties you can make with felt...and the best part is no sewing machine is needed! This is great because I'm currently sewing machine-less.
Ya know what's funny? I haven't been interested in sewing until now. All of a sudden I've been craving a sewing machine...maybe it's something that just happens when you reach motherhood. I just have the urge to sew...strange? I think so.
We just love our little Lucy to pieces and she is getting more and more fun everyday. I thought I would share some fun things about her today and of course more pictures! Here are her 6 month stats, even though she is currently 7 months old. When we took her in for her appointment she had jumped from being in the 50th percentile to the 75th percentile for all her measurements! She was 26.5 inches long and 17.4 lbs! Yowza girl! She's definitely filled out in the past few months. I just love munching on her chubby little legs and buddha belly. She doesn't really have a chubby face but her double chin does come out to play on occasion, as shown in the picture below.
Her hair is filling in a little more too. It's still very peach fuzzy but there is more fuzz to play with! I love rubbing my chin across it when she's sitting on my lap. She had her first hair cut last week! And when I say hair I literally mean 1 single hair. She had one freakishly long strand that had to be trimmed.
Her favorite things to play with/put in her mouth lately is anything paper, plastic, metal (ick!), zippers, and the drawstrings on hoodies. Whenever she is rolling around on the floor playing with all her stuffed toys, the first thing she'll go for is the tag.
Goin' for the tag 
You can kind of see her chubby belly & legs here. She's practicing her yoga moves. 
She loves giving kisses. They are slobbery and open-mouthed. She'll give them to mom and dad, her stuffed animals and doll, and herself (the mirror).
She still has her pretty blues.
She's loving her food these days. She's eating all sorts of food. Still loves the bananas the best. I fed her the Gerber macaroni and cheese dinner a few nights ago and she didn't know what to think about it. It smelled awful! Now when I go to the store I try to get the weird stuff just to see Lucy's face. Haha, I'm such a mean mom. I've learned that I can mix something she doesn't like with bananas and she'll dig on it.
We still feed her in her bebe pod chair but it's about time to get a high chair. I keep checking Craigs List because high chairs are so expensive these days! What's up with baby stuff being so expensive?? I would really like to know!
Luce is a lover of rolling, looking out the window, looking in the mirror, going for rides on mom's and dad's shoulders, and talking. She's says dadadada and mamamama and kind of mixes it up sometimes too. She loves jibberjabbering when we start talking. She definitely wants to be in on the conversations. She can get quite vocal. :)
We've been experimenting with things that make her laugh. It's quite entertaining. Trey has this little voice he talks to her in and she gets a crack out of it. She has this high pitched squeal that comes out when her and daddy wrestle. It's pretty darn cute. I'll have to post a video of it sometime.
We finally got to the point where we just lay her down and she goes to sleep! It's soooo nice! No more rocking her for like 20 minutes until she goes to sleep, yay! She's our good little napper/sleeper.
So there you have it. That's our Lucy in a nutshell as of late. She's our little ball of energy and fun.
This year brought about all kinds of change in my life. It's been hard but so good for me. I feel pretty much adjusted to the whole being a mom thing (although sometimes it still weirds me out that I'm a mom). I'm still working on being adjusted to living so far away from family & being the wife of a med student. It's harder then I thought it would be. Thank heavens I have my Trey & Lucy here with me. They are my rays of sunshine on those days when I feel all cloudy inside.
Bring it on numbero 26! Let's see what you have to offer...
One of Lucy's favorite things to do is sit on daddy's lap and watch football with him (yes, definitely Trey's daughter). Check out what happens when it's close to her bedtime.
