FYI, this is what Lucy's hair looks like after a bath...before combing and drying!
We've been teaching Lucy a little bit of sign language...she and I went to the library and rented Signing Times and we all watched it several times...she also watches the same series at her babysitter Tammy's house. So far she knows several signs, most importantly "eat," which she is displaying below. She also knows the sign for "more" (which she often does at inexplicable times...she does it and we wonder, more what? More sitting on the floor? More mommy holding you? - hard to say), "ball" (which is very similar to "more" - and she usually does the sign for "ball" when there's already a ball in her hand), and "milk" (which is adorable!). We're working on the signs for "mommy" and "daddy" now. She's been a pretty fast learner so far.
She continues to verbally speak as well...she can point out a duck a mile away and has started saying "bubby!" When she's tired and whiney, she's taken to whimpering "mama!"
Lucy got this doll, Violet, for Christmas from Jill. We programmed it and Violet now knows Lucy's name and some of her favorite things! It helps Violet make conversation with Lucy...and whatever she's doing - it's working! Lucy gave Violet a great big hug!
Lucy loves her UK jammies from Aunt Amy!
Lucy's laughing at daddy (not pictured) here...sneak attack on her while playing with her puzzle!
Crawling around playing with a ball from the graduation party...
More fun with the puzzle...it's so much fun to take all of the pieces out and toss them (and watch mommy and daddy fetch them and put them back...and repeat!)
Lucy just loves these maracas mommy's boss brought her back from Mexico...shakey shakey!
She doesn't often wear shoes so when she does, they are quite fascinating to her! Dave was amazed at how long she'd kept them on until I pointed out to him that I got her dressed (shoes included) and then we came straight down and got in the high chair. Sure enough, as soon as she was finished and I took the tray off, she removed (and inspected) the shoes!
"Look at me! I'm wearing shoes! WEIRD!"
No more pictures, please...time to get ready for my friends Lauren and Elijah to arrive!
