Buoyant

When Emmy and Colty were visiting, we went and swam at their hotel. Lucy had so much fun. This started her love for water. She loves to play in the toilet, the dog's water... and she loves to dump out cups of water on the floor and play in the puddle.

posey

Lucy's hair is always in her face. I refuse to give her bangs that go to the middle of her head. That is just awful. I did take them back a little further so that it's not so bad anymore. I usually pull her hair back, but Nunkey John and Daddy don't.

I really wish she didn't know how cute she was. She's going to be a brat when she gets into school.

safety first

Lucy tries her hand at cooking...

I work full-time, so I don't get to be home with Lucy during the day. Uncle John watches her. They love each other dearly.

mechanically inclined

Lucy loves cords and wires. I like to think it's because her great grandpa is Woody. He was the most mechanically inclined man I know.

Gock gock!

We are lame. Our current church (decided by our geographic location) has really sucky activities. So, we decided to go to our old church's Halloween party.

Lucy really loved the cucumber and tomato salad that we brought, but it really irritated her face.

Mmmmm... she found a pixi stick under the table.

She kept pulling her hood off, so people couldn't really tell what she was.

I absolutely love the tights. AND I found a dress that is yellow with orange stripes that will match perfectly. Woohoo!

By the way, Lucy used to say "wack wack" for what a duck says, but now it is "gock gock." She also used to say "gan koo" for thank you, but that is also now "gock gock." I am now an expert at using context clues to figure out which meaning of those words she is using.

Wacky Quacky

I like it when Halloween falls on a weekend because you get to start celebrating the Friday before. At work, we all dressed in pajamas and I made Ty bring Lucy for everyone to see.

This is where Lucy discovered that daddy was using the camera. She loves to see the pictures right after you take them.

... and there she goes trying to see the pictures

diggin for worms

Lucy has discovered "outside." If I go to put something in the recycle bin or in the outside trash, she wants to be there too. Also, if you say "outside" she runs to the door.

I have been grilling a lot this fall, and Lucy will come play on the deck while I'm out there.

She discovered this hole in the wood and thinks it is so much fun!
