We are moving??

It still doesn't quite seem real to me. I've said goodbye to so many people already but it just hasn't set in. It will probably set in tomorrow when I'm on the plane...or maybe when I arrive at our humble abode in the foreign land of Pennsylvania and all my stuff is there...strange!!! I just talked to Trey on the phone and they are about an hour and a half away from Hershey! Yowza!

I've been having a bit of fun staying at my parents house with little Luce for the past few days. I do feel like a single mom though, it's a bit odd. My friend Hil always has the cutest pictures of her little boy on her blog so I asked her to come over and take some cute shots of Lucy today, just for kicks. They turned out soo cute! Thanks again Hil! Here are some of my favorite pics from the photoshoot...

Oh the many faces of Lucy.

Here are her 2 month stats:

Weight: 9 lbs 10 oz...still a little weeblit

Height: 22 1/4 inches long

She loves to blow bubbles, interlock her fingers in prayer position, kick like there is no tomorrow, make all sorts of noises and faces, smile, drool, suck mom's thumb, and look at books (especially the Fairy Bear book at Grandma Brenchley's house...it's kind of a strange book but whatever works.) She also loves being outside and bathtime.

I'm just going to apologize now...

I'm afraid that there will be a period of silence on the blog during the moving craziness that will be happening during the next few weeks. Juggling a 6-week-old and packing up stuff doesn't give us time to do much else. Just know that it won't last forever and I'll save up all the pictures and do some catch up posts when we get all moved in and settled in Hershey.

Lucy was blessed last Sunday, July 5th. We didn't really get any pictures from the lunch after the blessing (if you have any please send them my way) but Trey got one of me and Luce before we went to church. Lucy kind of whimpered through her blessing but it never broke into a full-on scream so I was thankful. Trey gave her a wonderful blessing. It was a really nice meeting. Thanks to all those who came, we had such a great turn out! It's so nice to have the support of so many of our family and friends. We love you guys!

Lucy's Aunty Jules made her dress and it turned out so darn cute. You can't really see it in this picture. I think I'll have to dress Lucy back up in it and take some pictures of just her so you can see the dress. I'm not into the frilly dresses so I had her make a simple linen dress for Lu. Thanks again Jules!

Hey guess what!

Lucy was born 6 weeks ago! Wow I'm a space case, I just barely got around to finishing up Lucy's birth announcement. Here it is...

Oh Sundays...

The girl was super smiley this past Sunday so we had a little photo shoot. She went to her first full block of church and did great! Yay Luce! Next step, getting her to sleep through the night. We've got her sleeping about 4-5 hours during the night. I think her tummy is still just too small that she needs to wake up at least once in the middle of the night to eat. I find it odd when I talk to other moms at church that tell me their kid slept through the night after one week! My other friend told me that after 3 weeks their kid would sleep 11-12 hours a night!!! That definitely does not sound normal, or does it??? Anyway, here are some cute pictures of our little Lucy Goosey.

Before we leave our dearest Logan we want to take pictures of all our favorite places and then make a big collage for us to take with us to Penn State. Sunday evening we went to a few of our favorite places, one being the place where Trey proposed. The Fraziers came with us and took a few shots of us on "our bench". It turned out pretty cute me thinks. I was holding Lucy but you can't really tell.

Oh Logan, how we will miss you!

What we've been up to the past 4 weeks...

Sorry for the lack of Lucy pics, getting adjusted to this being mom thing is taking some time. It never seems like there are enough hours in the day! I figure it will get easier to get things done as Lu gets older and on a schedule. I've pretty much turned into a complete bum. Most days I don't even make it out of my bathrobe, ha ha ha. Parenthood is so glamourous. :) And despite all of the new adjustments that have been a little rough (lack of sleep), I absolutely love being a mom! I now can totally understand what all my mom friends told me about being a mom...it's not easy but it is soo worth it. This little girl has got her parents wrapped around her little finger. Just look at that sweet face, how could you not be?


It's been fun getting to know Lu these past 4 weeks. We've figured out which cry means what for the most part, which is nice. I'm happy to report that she now weighs 7 lbs 6 oz. Her face and her belly have filled out nicely. She's already grown a half inch too! This girl has got her mom's body for sure, long legs, long toes (especially the 2nd, pointed out in the previous post), long arms, and long fingies.

Here are some of her funny little quirks that we love:
*She can rip some awesome farts! She ripped one the other night and I looked over at Trey (he was holding her) and said, "Was that you?" and he started giggling and said, "No, that was Luce!" *Her hands must be in her face or by her face at all times. It makes it hard to feed her when her hands are blocking her mouth, makes for some good times! ;)
*We love it when she goes cross-eyed.
*Trey loves burping her because she sniffs his neck with her cold little puppy dog nose.
*We can always tell when she's peeing because her mouth forms a perfect "O". We call it her Cheerio mouth.
*She always peeks out of one of her eyes at ya when the other one is closed.
*She makes the funniest little noises & girly grunts.
*She has sneezing spells. Her record is 6 sneezes in a row!!
*She loves to straighten her long legs and spread her toes. I can't wait until I can teach her how to grab stuff with those long toes of hers.
*She has a really firm grip! Don't be fooled by her size, she is one tough cookie!
*She is just so stinkin cute & fun to look at.

Lucy has also been quite the little traveler. We've taken her all over and she's been so good! I hope she'll get used to all the moving around because we'll be doing a lot of it in the next few weeks!


Here are some pics we snapped from the past few weeks:

And here are some pics from the other shenanigans that we've been up to. Trey wanted me to straighten his hair the other night and here is the end result...

Sorry ladies, this hot emo boy is already taken.

Look at those gorgeous long locks...I think the back is looking a bit mullet-ish

Just had to take one with a pony tail...sick

Luce wanted to join in on the fun

I was laughing so hard when I was trying to take these pics of Lucy. She wasn't too keen on the toupe. Some day our little baldy will have her own hair.

Slo Mo Dove...

This is an amazing video. It is the "literal" version. Please watch and laugh as Meesh and I did.

Proof...

...that Lucy has the Brenchley long second toe

My dear Lucy's newborn footprint. Notice how well spread out her toes are...another trait from her mother.

What Luey (yes that's spelled right) has to look forward to
