Lucy is very sweet. The first thing she does when she sees a blanket or stuffed animal is pick it up, lean her face against it, and say, "oh, oh". Many times I see her just laying on the floor with either a stuffed animal or a blanket and being totally content.
Her favorite stuffed animal is this puppy. She makes the puppy noise and then gives it a hug every time she sees it.
This one might be more like a favorite of hers since I can only move 2 mph all day. Lucy loves to twirl around, cling, and walk everywhere while holding one or both of my pant legs. It's probably why I am still wearing pajama pants in this picture. It's pretty hard to get much done when I can only go the pace of baby steps!

Lucy LOVES books. Her favorite spot to go in our house is the bookshelf in her room where she pulls down every book, then sits and carefully turns the pages.
Lucy has become quite the dancer. I often think of a programmed robot since it comes on so randomly. No matter what she is playing with, she stops to dance when a beat or music is heard. Lots of times I don't even realize there is music until I see her rocking back and forth.
Lucy loves to pull everything out of containers and occasionally put it back. I wish she did more of the putting back but she probably just wants to make sure I don't get too bored during the day, right?

Besides sitting in containers, Lucy loves to sit on blankets so she can take a fun ride.
One thing that makes Lucy automatically smile is the sound of Mark's electronic toothbrush. She loves when Mark lets her hand "take a ride" on the handle while vibrating. Oh, I just thought of another thing that makes Lucy smile--whenever I say the word no. Why oh why? Anyways, back to teeth...this is Lucy getting her's brushed for the first time.
Mark and I love watching Lucy walk back and forth between us. She gets so happy when she is close and almost jumps for us at the end.
One of my Lucy favorites is having a cute little buddy wherever I go. On one of our walks it was a little colder so she is bundled up in the next picture.
While we were out we saw these big birds by our canal. I know this post is about Lucy but can I just say that I LOVE the birds here!
Now that Lucy is getting bigger, I love any chance I get at cuddling with her.

One favorite that the pictures haven't covered is her baby language. When she says the word, "yeah", she either says it like a sweet little question or makes it sound like I should feel so bad for her. She also loves to be part of funny jokes. She does this fake laugh whenever she sees me laughing. Most of the time it is so forced that she goes straight-legged, clenches her fists, and coughs at the end since she is trying so hard to push as much laugh as she can out of her. :)
All in all I think I just love what a happy and sweet little girl Lucy is!
