Lazy Summer Days!

I've enjoyed a few, slow-paced summer days with Lucy. We stay in our pj's until lunch and play, play, PLAY!

We start each morning with breakfast with Daddy before he leaves for work. A new game Lucy has discovered is peak-a-boo with her food (or toys). This morning she used her bib to hide her food and waits for me to find it.

It is amazing how quickly she is learning new things right now. Her vocabulary and understanding develop every day! You will also notice her sippy with milk in it. She has begun to refuse or drink very little of her bottles before naps so we're trying to increase milk at meals. She much prefers water and makes an awful face when she realizes it is not water. If it is water, she'll chug it down!

Our mornings also include "shhhh" or shows. Lucy loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

(I try to limit Lucy to just one show a day because I do not want her sitting in front of the tv. She loves the music and songs, but gets bored quickly with the rest. I take a moment to clean the kitchen, etc while she watches a few minutes of "shhhh.")

It is hard to say no when she runs into the family room, sits in HER chair, and says "shhhh, Mommy!"

HAHAH! Stinker!

She loves to play with her music set. Her newest fun is to find things that make different noises when she drums on them. The camera lense cap was perfect for this!

She found a toy train and quickly pushed it along the carpet and said "cho-chooo."

This was a total shocker because I have never shown her this and it was like she just knew what to do with it!

Lucy's real obsession.....TECHNOLOGY! She loves to push all the buttons on Daddy's equipment.

"Mommy always says "no" but I like to get a few pushes in before she notices..."

"Ok fine, if I can't push those buttons...what about the remote?"

"I found the TV power button!!!!"

"Now what will happen if I push this and the remote at the same time..."

And I'll leave you with a few pictures I snapped this morning in our bedroom. Lucy can climb just about anything and thought.....hmm why not climb this chair!

(Another boo-boo on her knee. I'm sure you are not surprised by this.)

This is when the photo shoot ended. Our brave one decided she wanted to try and stand up.

WE ARE IN TROUBLE! Watch out world - HERE COMES LUCY!

Watch out Mommy! :) She's a hoot...and a stinkerbutt. Love her. Love everything about her little curiosity and dare-devil approach to life...take the bull by the horns, girl!

She did a gymnastics move in my living room from one chair to another....I see the olympics in her future. xo
