My Favorite Buddy

I love that I get to spend all day with my favorite little buddy, Lucy. She keeps me entertained by the cute little things she does and says. Some of my favorites right now are:

-How happy she is!  She is giggles all day long.  It is my favorite sound.

-How much she loves Elmo.  She gets so excited every time she sees him and keeps repeating his name.  She feeds him, cuddles him, and sleeps with him.  On Friday, she took his little hands in hers and put her maracas inbetween so it seemed like he was shaking them. :) She also loves to give him rides in her Barbie car.

-Her little voice.  She started talking a lot more and it is like music to my ears!  She sounds the cutest to me when she says honey, thank you, napkin, and Ernie.  

-What a sweetheart she is.  Yesterday while driving to my sister's house we let her watch Winnie the Pooh for the first time.  It seemed she was really liking it until tears started rolling down her cheeks. She got scared because Winnie the Pooh had bees stuck in his head after eating a handful of honey.  She also gives hugs to any object in books that she really likes. What topped all of her sweetness off though was when I was rocking and singing to her before bed tonight.  She took her little hand and started stroking my arm, hand, and fingers softly.  My heart melted!

-She started telling me when she poops.  Bring on the potty training!

-Her blue eyes looking back at me.  Sometimes when I am frustrated with her, I see her cute innocent eyes looking back at me and my frustration disappears. 

-When she yells "Mom" while she's walking around the house looking for me.

 

These next pictures are some of the funny things we caught in the last couple of months.

 

While we were unpacking Lucy's room, Lucy found a new use for her plastic swimming pants.

I layed a mirror on the floor with some paper to cover the front so I could spray paint the edges.  While I was out of the room for a second,  Lucy found a better use for it--a new bed and blanket.

I never know what I am going to get at the end of naptime.  Sometimes Lucy is good and goes to sleep, other days she get creative.  Lately, when I get Lucy out of her crib, she is completely naked and a couple of times has left some "surprises" in her sheets.  A couple of months ago, Mark found Lucy like this at the end of her nap. 

One of my favorite things to watch Lucy do is jump.

Lucy loves stickers! She found my mailing stickers during Christmas time and made socks out of them.

Lucy got to touch snow for the first time in December. She had fun walking around in the snow while I shoveled the driveway.  Everytime she knew it was heavy for me she make the "uhhh" sound. :)

One of Lucy's favorite things is brushing her teeth.  She has one proud dentist.
