6 Months!

Six months with our Lucy Blue.

She loves her bath and always tries to drink the water.

When she walks she runs, full steam ahead like a little train. Her head is down and arms and legs are going crazy. We always talked about hearing sticky little feet running down the hall and
we have that now!

She is absolutely not afraid of the dark.

The orphanage stated that she was laid back, quiet and shy.
Instead she is social, curious, busy, nosey, and super affectionate.

She still sleeps from 7:30pm-7:00 am. We will cry if it ever gets shorter than that.

Lucy loves to see birds.

She is turning into quite and outside girl. She will cry when we try to bring her inside,
no matter how cold it is outside.

Her favorite word is mama. She can say milk, on, up, nana, banana, gramma, yaya(dadda), lala
(for elmo), mia(her cousins name). Her language is coming slowly and she does not cooperate too well with her speech therapist. She understands pretty much everything though.
She still uses her signs all the time.

Just like her mommy, she LOVES elephants and asks to see pictures of them all the time.

Just like her daddy, she LOVES cheese and bread and pasta.

She is super naughty at times and thinks she is sooooo funny when she is naughty. She has always tried to make us laugh. Even within the first minutes of being with her.

She is a daddy's girl all the way.

Since August she has grown from a size 6-9 mths to size 24 months! We started with a baby
and have a toddler for sure now!

She loves her family and friends from our congregation. She knows who they are right away.

Whenever a visitor leaves our house, she puckers her lips over and over again so they have to keep coming back inside to give her more kisses. She knows she is irresistable
when she does that!

She still does not watch much TV but she LOVES music and dancing.

She is partially potty trained and has been since China. She has a potty routine for the most part and as long as we keep up with it, dry diapers!

She loves to say prayers as a family, she asks for them all the time, especially before she eats.

She destroys everything. She loves to rip apart pop up books, cards, paper, mail- etc.

She is a girlie girl. Her daddy cuts and paints her nails. She always picks out the shiny shoes to wear and loves to look at herself in the mirror. She even strikes a pose. She carries BAGS around everywhere. Another bag lady in the family. ;)

We just love her to pieces and know she loves us. She likes us to be close to each other and her and sing ' Family, Family, Mommy Daddy and Lucy!'.

We are looking forward to a warm summer and know she is just going to LOVE the pool and being outside everyday. She will love cook outs with friends and get togethers with the family,
so will we!

So much to say about her so I probably
forgot some important things about her life so far but let the video do the talking!!
