A little about Lucy... so far

Our little lady is already 2 months!!!  I can't believe how big she has gotten.  She is developing such a little personality and I already love it!  So, I wanted to make a little list of the things she is doing now.


*She makes little squeaky sounds sometimes when she is sleeping.  It's like a squeaky snore, but snore isn't even a good word for it because it's so cute.

*She snorts when she is working herself up to a wail and we've figured out the more she snorts the bigger the scream.

*Her voice is so sweet.  When she is talking her lips take the most adorable shapes.  I wish I could describe how awesome it is to hear her "coo"s and "ah"s, "goo"s and "owwwh"s it is so. cute!!

*She is very loud.  VERY loud when she wants to be/when she wants something.

*When she is waking up she grunts and rubs her eyes.  It's like watching an adult wake up - I find it so funny that she does human things and doesn't just sit around like a bump on a log like I guess I thought babies did!!

*She is still very much a treefrog - her little legs curl up indian-style esque all the time.

*She loves the burping position.  I guess it's just being upright - but if she is fussy, I can usually calm her down that way.  Also if I'm sitting down and put her on my legs so her feet are at my chest and give her a binky she is pretty content most times and can fall asleep easily.

*She tries so hard to hold her head up and does a fabulous job when she is in the "burp" position.  

*Speaking of burping, she doesn't like a bottle to be taken out of her mouth.  She squeals quite loudly when you take the bottle out to burp her.

*She is drooling a lot lately!  She must be starting to teethe.  Poor little mama.

 *I got a lot of flower/bow headbands.  You know, to cover her bald spot :)


*Her arms are constantly flailing around and "boxing"... she has no control over them.  I feel bad for her, she has my arms and will never gain control of them.  Poor dear.


*She has these looks.  I mean looks that could kill.  Or kill you as in omg they are so cute.  For example:


*She loves, loves, loves to watch things.  Anything.

*She is getting really good at squats (as her daddy calls them) which is standing up for a baby.  Her legs are super strong sometimes and sometimes they are like jelly.  Most of the time when she stands well she is either upset or excited.

oh, hey, baldy
*I think she will be a sassafras one day.  She just does certain things that makes me think that she has this crazy-sassy attitude.  Which could be cute and could be a handful and will probably be both!!

*She will be a thumb sucker.  She has found where her thumb is - she just can't figure out how to get it in her mouth.  Thus, she sticks her whole fist into her mouth.  It's quite a feat!

horrible picture quality but really, kid!?

*She'll never know her own name.  It's my fault - I have so many nicknames for her!  Lu, LuLu, Luc, mama, Tinkerbell shortened to Bell sometimes, boo boo, Pinky............ 

*She is a hungry HIPPO eating 5 oz every three hours during the day and 6 oz when she wakes up in the morning.

*She is pretty much sleeping from 10/11PM to 8-ishAM.  That's right.

*She jerks around all the time.  She is squirmy and if you're holding her you better watch out because she is bound to push right out of your arms!!

*She has a great fake cry already.  Isn't that supposed to be a terrible 2 [year] thing!?!?  I mean the kid is only 2 [months]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*She sleeps with her mouth open sometimes.  She has the cutest, CUTEST mouth ever.  Period end of discussion.

*She has red tints to her hair!  Mark has red in his facial hair and Lucy has that same red in the tips and roots of her hair.  I wonder if she'll keep the red!?

*She still has beautiful blue eyes... wonder if she'll keep those too?

*She pees a lot.

*She does not like to pee and poop in the same diaper.  We will change her pee diaper and then five minutes later she'll have a dirty diaper.

*When she is fake crying, or smiling really hard and she clenches her jaw her chubby cheeks become really pronounced.  It kills me :)

Happy 2 months, Little Girl :)
