4 months

I love this age with Lucy. She has started sleeping 7-8 hour stretchs with only one feeding at night. She also coos and smiles whenever she sees my face (seriously love this)! She is starting to scoot forward by pushing her legs and starting to reach for things with her hands, but dosen't have full control yet. She definitely loves me to hold her and snuggle her but seriously dislikes being left in the carseat.  Her fingers have become her best friend and chews/slobers on them all the time. She is our sweet love bug and is adored by her family!

These are some action shots of Lucy having an entertaining conversation with her stuffed giraffe at bedtime!!    Lucy was cooing like crazy and having a good time telling him all her secrets!! :)



Itty Bitty Fingers & Teeny Tiny Toes

Since birth Lucy has tried to get her hands in her mouth to suck on them. But within the past few days she has been consistently getting her two middle fingers in her mouth and sucking on them.  As a baby I sucked my fingers in the exact same way.  I have been giving her the pacifer to discourage finger sucking but she definitely loves her hands and fingers more then the pacifer.

How cute are these toes?!

I have been wanting to paint them since she was born, but they were just too tiny.

Finally they are big enough to paint! When I put her in the bumbo she will stare at her toes fascinated by their pretty color.

Happy Fall Y'all

I love the fall leaves and all the beautiful colors they make! But since we don't really have many trees around us, I tried to make do with a few handful of beautiful leaves that blew into our yard from our neighbors bush.  Carter had a blast collecting the leaves and then throwing them around Lucy on the carpet. Lucy was wide eyed as she watched the leaves flutter down.

This is also one of my favorite times of the year in Mobile because the cotton fields are in full bloom. They look so crisp and white!  "Southern Snow" they call it around here!
