Our Big Girl!

So it has been a while since a good post was put on here! Lucy is just so grown up. She is super tall and super funny and super beautiful! She is now 6 years old! Lost one tooth, so far. Her hair is also getting longer and she loves that, since she loves to sing and look at herself in the mirror. All the time!

She is doing good in Kindergarten. The teacher has started to send home a note of how she does each day. Her reading and writing  is top notch! It is the attenion span and not worrying about what all the other kids are doing that gets her in trouble at times! oye. Considering where she started, she is a star in my mind though.  She is completely in love with her daddy. Me, well I get seconds at times but
I will take it. She still loves me, even though dad is her 'twin' as she calls him!

We are planning some fun road trips and a trip to FL with my mom and dad in the spring. She just loves to travel, so we are excited to share the news with her when the time comes. Not a minute sooner!

Lucy loves stickers, Taylor Swift,  her family, playing school and doctor of course! The medical curiosity never ends with her.

Hoping to plan some more play dates with some friends and maybe even plan a get together at the house in the next month or two. She would really have a blast and it is long overdue.

Love our Lucy Blue! Wishing i could post a picture..not sure why this wont work.

where has the time gone?

August 18 again, our 4 year anniversary for gotcha day. all day long, I kept doing little reflections of the past.  she was such a peanut, actually still kinda is, but i thought it would be nice to do a look back while showing you the latest.

Happy Gotcha Day!

Our Olympic Swimmer

This little kid is amazing. Her lack of fear plays out well for her I the pool. So, a bit ago she decided to go without floaties, so she is real good at treading water and swimming from side to side. But now she has decide to swim underwater now, like actually swim under water. She has me counting to see how long she can hold her breath underwater. She has these little sinking jellyfish to practice going swimming to the bottom. We drop them in, they sink, and she dives under and grabs them and our toes. She learns everything we teach her in there. I will be teaching her how to properly dive next. We have pics and videos of the big kid.. But again, iPad blows and we can't upload to anything from here.

Lucy is such abig girl, it is crazy!

Well, she just graduated from preschool and we are so proud of her. She has been with the same teachers and therapists for 2 years and many of the same kids. It was hard, for me, to say goodbye. They have helped us so much and loved her just as much. Her experience was in an integrated classroom and it was so touching to see the love between the kids. Lucy got her progress report and she achieved many if not All of her social goals, tries her best with her speech and is smart as a whip. :) she also ended her last day with her part time day care. She has been with them for 3 years! Lots of changes for the little miss. She also continues to get longer legs. Every month she grows and grows and we are amazed as we watch the door jam get new tick marks to measure her height. Now for the summer. She loves the pool and can swim two lengths with no floats, she just swims it. She likes to go under water and dive for her jellyfish. Much better swimmer than most adults, including me. I am still home dealing with the effects from my concussion in march. I am completely done not feeling all better. I have days of optimism and then when I push it on the computer, read or get under lights the headaches come roaring back. I am so ready to go back to work and function normally but I have no control over when it will heal. So today is day three of my migraine and I am pushing it by typing on here. Oh well. It is what it is, right?! I will try to upload a newer pic of the big girl. It is true, they grow so fast. Someone really needs to invent time travel.
