18 Months

This is a couple of weeks late. Our life has been especially crazy over the last few weeks! But wanted to give you all Lucy's 18 month update. Sometimes when she's running around like a crazy woman, making messes and talking to me like a 4 year old (ok not quite...but it feels like it sometimes!), I forget what it was like to have this tiny snuggly baby.

And when she giggles and smiles at me with a mouth FULL of teeth I like to look back and remember the good ol' gummy days. :) 

 

 Ok enough reminiscing. I love every moment of being Lucy's mommy! We have a blast playing every day and I am so so thankful for her.

Here's what she's been up to lately--

*Talking. I counted out how many words she can say and it's almost 200! She always combines 2 or 3 words and often speaks in entire sentences. Talking is totally her hobby. She loves it. Typical girl. =)
*Playing. She is constantly on the move playing with everything she can! We took her swimming and she loves playing in the pool! She soaks up fun wherever she can find (or create!) it.
*Coloring. Lucy LOVES to color. It keeps her busy for a long time!
*Singing. She loves singing along to songs and listening to me sing. Sometimes I get tired of singing non-stop. But I'm glad so likes music! :)
*Sleeping. She sleeps through the night and takes 1-2 naps each day. I think we are nearing just 1 afternoon nap though.
*Princesses. We have started to introduce the Disney princesses to Lucy since we're going to Disney world in a few months. :) Guess who her favorite is? ARIEL. She loves Ariel. She sings Ariel's song and has an Ariel barbie and jewelry and begged for an Ariel swimsuit. Haha!
*Growing. She wears size 18-24 month clothes. Although she's still pretty tiny. Trying to get a little more meat on her bones!
*Helping. She loves to throw things away for me or helping with laundry. She's going to be a great big sister when the baby comes!

Tons more but there's the highlights for ya. I am going to attempt potty training soon if life decides to slow down a little. I haven't had a chance to work on it but I think Lucy is definitely ready to start. Wish me luck! =) Here are a few recent pics of my BIG GIRL!
