Mama/Lucy Time

Jason is traveling for work for 10 days so Lucy and I get to have lots of mama/Lucy time.  She is such a fun little girl - every day is something new - what a joy to get to experience it with her!  She tolerates shopping with me pretty well and even helped pick out a gift for new baby Nara - Lucy had a definite opinion on which outfit we got!  She likes being able to choose things - like which book to read, if she will eat Cheerios or a cracker, or which clothes to wear.  It's so cute that she seems to have definite opinions on what she wants - at the age of 1!!

She still loves, loves, loves books and reads her favorites several times a day.  She is very careful with the books that have paper pages (versus her board books), and turns the pages, studying them one by one, as if she can actually read!

Nothing will prevent her from getting what and where she wants.  She has a laser-focus when her eyes lock with things like the remote control, a cell phone, a power strip, or the tiniest piece of ANYTHING on the floor.  Faster than a speeding bullet, she is crawling across the room or down the hall or into a bathroom or bedroom to get what she wants. She doesn't seem too interested in walking by herself yet.  She cruises around the furniture with no problem at all, and stands by herself but if she needs to get somewhere, she drops to her bum and crawls off to get it!

She is also getting more and more vocal - with words we can understand!  She is saying things like "Duck", "Bob", "Nap", and "Fish" - what a smart little girl!

Finally, and probably my favorite of her new skills is her kisses!  She started out kissing her stuffed animals and baby dolls and is finally bestowing them on us - when we are lucky!  Like most kids, they are open-mouthed and slobbery, but it melts my heart every time I get one!

We are looking forward to reconnecting with the Feeding Clinic this week to see what we can do to move her feeding skills forward and will update you all on how it goes.

Unfortunately, one of Lucy's favorite places to play - gotta keep those doors closed!
