Oh My.
I just can’t believe how big my little girl is getting. Every single day she does something else that surprises me. Well, it doesn’t really surprise me but it does, if you know what I mean.
This morning, Lucy and I were outback on her swing. I said to her “Lucy, would you like to go inside and have some Peanut Butter and Jelly for lunch?”. Without hesitation, Lucy started walking towards the gate so I just followed her. She then continued to walk down the driveway, crawled up the steps to the front door, into the house and walked right up to her booster seat and pointed. I just could not believe it. The extent of her understand is so much deeper than I give her credit for. It is kind of scary.
At this point in time Lucy has a lot of likes, and certainly lets me know when she has a dislike. She is completely mobile and extremely talkative. God gave her to me as a supplement, since we all know Ryan isn’t really one for words. hehe.
She still only weighs 20 pounds… but I tell ya the girl can eat! I don’t know where it all goes. Well, actually I do <pinching nose>.
Lucy loves loves her blanky. Oh. My. She is her Mothers Daughter. She pulls it out of her crib every chance she gets and cuddles it and hugs it and rubs it on her face and lies on it and drags it around and puts it in her stroller and gives it to Mommy and Daddy to kiss… precious.
I am about to get all “My Child is Perfect” on you…
She is wonderful. Beautiful. Smart. Funny. Cute. She has seriously stinky feet. Innovative. Happy. Loud. Fashionable (you’re welcome). Loving. Sweet. Easy going. Ambitious. Beautiful.
…okay, I’m done with that.
I think I have finally decided that her eyes are hazel. I felt like I could never confidently say that they are brown because a lot of the time they are a different color to me, so I think I can confidently say hazel since they are a mixture. Or are they?
Her hair also keeps changing colors… it is not red, nor blonde, it is not brunette and definitely not black. In some pictures it looks really red but only in the picture, not in real life. Sometimes the sun sends a little shimmer, but it is not blonde. So, it is yet to be decided what color hair she actually has (it would help if she had more of it). I am going to go on a limb here and say that it is possibly strawberry blonde. Maybe.
Oh, but for those of you who prayed against me, I will tell you that she DOES have curly hair (jerks). I will make sure to send you the bill for all of the products we are going to have to use to maintain the beast. lol. It is actually pretty cute and since I too have curly hair I think I will be able to better assist her in curly hair fashion (unlike my poor mom who has thick straight hair and didn’t know the first thing about taking care of a curly mane- it’s not your fault Mom, you didn’t know).
Though mothering a toddler is pretty tiring, somewhat challenging, definitely patience testing, I would not trade it for the world. THIS is what I am supposed to be doing and she is an amazing gift and blessing to our lives. And, for the 100th millionth time, I love you Lucy girl. You make me smile.
