6 months

 Baby girl is now 6 months old! She is the sweetest thing ever! At her 6 month check up she weighed 15 lbs and was 26" in height. She now scoots, rolls, sits up on her own, pulls up and is starting to crawl.  She has the biggest smile with the cutest dimples!! Sleeping is still a challenge since she usually wakes 2 or 3 times a night, but she makes up for it with her good natured personality and great napping schedule during the day. The boys have given her many nicknames, but the one that has seemed to stick is LuLu.  One of Carter's favorite phrases to say to her is " That's my pretty girl, LuLu!" Her brothers adore her and entertain her constantly. 

 

Lazy days and kiddos

I love taking pics of the kids, but have yet to get a really good one of all three together. I tend to get one kid smiling with Lucy or the boys smiling with Lucy eating her hands or something. Oh well at least I can crop and get a cute one of each boy with Lucy! Lucy is so much fun lately she can scoot and roll around and has these fabulous laughs and smiles that just make my day brighter! She now has good balance and can sit up by herself, which is her favorite position to be in so she can watch the boys running around.

As for what we have been up too, honestly not much of anything. We have been taking it pretty easy around here, just trying to enjoy our last few weeks before the madness of selling the house/moving hits. Most days after dropping cooper off at school we just lay around the house watching movies and enjoying the downtime. My laziness won't be able to continue much longer though, because baseball and gymnastics for the kids and prepping the house for selling/moving all begin in a few weeks. Wish me luck!!

Laughing at Carter!

Love this sign!!

It definitely describes how I feel lately with Miss Lucy attached 24/7. She is my little leach that refuses a bottle and only wants the real deal. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!! :) 

I'm back!!!

For Christmas and our Anniversary Blaine got me an iPad so now I can return to the world of blogging. Yea!! After a fabulous Christmas, our lovely 10 year anniversary and a wonderful New Years things have finally settled down and real life has returned. Christmas decorations are down and we are spending a lazy Saturday at home. We spent 2 weeks traveling back and forth from Blaine's parents house and my parents house during the Holidays so it's super nice to be back home. Since I have way too many pics from the Holidays I am going to start fresh and begin with the New Year. The New Year brings our family one step closer to Blaine finishing Residency and us moving to a more permenant and stable lifestyle. Only 5 more months!! Woo-hoo!!
To start the New Year off Lucy decided to master several new tricks which brings her one step closer to crawling. I am so not ready for her to crawl, but she is showing she wants to keep up with her brothers and doesn't want to be left behind. She has also mastered the skill of shreaking and squealing when she wants to get our attention and has perfected the art of keeping mom up all hours of the night. As for Cooper and Carter they keep growing little by little, changing into big boys faster then I would like. Carter's latest accomplishment is learning to ride his bike without training wheels. He was bound and determined to do it after seeing his cousins ride their bikes without training wheels.
I am so excited for this New Year and the blessings, changes, trials and whatever else it may bring. Welcome 2012!! It's going to be a good year!
