Some one year fun facts

ok seriously, i do not remember much of what life / we were like before this little energy ball. i can hardly believe it has only been a year! i swear i have been staring at her for years and years.

so i had to do some research, but i found her original numbers from one year ago today. give or take a little. last year, she was 24.5 inches tall and weighed a mere 16 pounds. today, she is 35 inches tall and weighs 32 pounds. that means she grew 10.5 inches and gained 16 pounds in her one year with us.

tonya has a lil something to share soon, but here are some 'before' and 'after' shots of our lucy - happy 1 year to all of the families who traveled with us.

doesn't play well with others

this may come across on a few of her report cards all too soon. its about time we brought everyone up to speed on the darker side of lucy blue, the mischievous, sly, mr. hyde lucy blue.

we had a few family members over a couple of weeks ago, my sisters, our nieces and lucys cousins. one of them, cute lil mccoy, seems to be the target of this darker side. they have this love/hate, brother/sister relationship. hugs and punches. well, lucy is a bit of a dare devil, jumping in the pool, no show of fear. mccoy is a bit more gun shy at times.

but dont get me wrong. if mccoy cries or is hurt, lucy is right there lending her affection. look at the picture here. he had fallen into the pool, hung on to the steps for dear life and was crying quite a bit. and there is our little helper, making sure he is alright. such a sweet kid.

.

really, how cute.



until i looked thru the photos taken just moments before the splash heard around the neighborhood.

yes, thats our little angel, with her foot on his back.

Picnic in the Park

back in hometown Geneseo, a picnic in the park was held with i believe local musician playing someone's old time favorites - jimmy buffet, beach boys, van morrison, and the list goes on. not bad really. this was lucy's second concert, the first back at the animal fair a few posts ago. we were joined by g.grandma and uncle bud.
she was such a good kid, i thought for sure i would be chasing her down and wrestling to keep her from the stage. but she did what she does best - charm people into taking their teenage daughters away to play. she found two sets of families to control. no one really minds a super cute chinese kid taking over for a while.

so, here are some pics of the event. she is dancing in some of the pics, eating in others - two activites where she excels.
