Wild Child

I officially have a wild child.

Remember when your baby just stayed in the same place and life was peaceful and you got lots done? Obviously this is not my life anymore. :) Miss Lucy--whom I have lovingly (or maybe not so lovingly) named the Tasmanian Devil has been tearing through the house at lightning speeds (walking is MUCH faster than crawling!), destroying everything in sight!! She seriously runs around pulling toys from all places and making messes I never knew were possible. I cannot clean up fast enough! But, what's the point? Until she goes to bed it will just happen over and over and over and over........you get the picture. :) So if you happen to visit me during the day you might have to step over a few toys to get through the door. Next place we live will require a playroom. I might go out of my mind without one. :) But seriously, I love my kiddo. I am so thankful to have a sweet baby girl to make messes everywhere. And a baby to make noises too. Story-time! Today in the car I had music playing. It was a new album I had just downloaded and I was enjoying listening. Was enjoying. You see, Miss Lucy has inherited her Daddy's ability to sing. She loves to sing. She hums to herself all day long and will sing along with me or any music she hears. She imitates the way of singing too....like when we had the Irish Tenors playing she sang opera style. Not. Even. Kidding. So as soon as my new music came on she had to sing at the top of her lungs the whole time. Carey and I just looked at each other and realized we may never have peace. Ha! =) 

Never a dull moment in this house. 

In other news, Valentine's Day was this week (not that this is news to any of you). Lucy got a Winnie the Pooh and Piglet from her Valentine (a.k.a.--Daddy). :) Here she is enjoying her new friend. 

Eating Puffs and Making Music

Lucy loves to eat. :) We've recently discovered the wonderful world of puffs! These are little pieces of puffed grain that dissolve almost instantly in your mouth. I like this because she can eat them all day long and I don't have to worry about her choking. I also love how these puffs have helped her learn how to feed herself! Her little fingers are so cute pinching the pieces and bringing them to her mouth. I love it. :) 

I certainly love these little puffs too--not for the taste though (they're a little bland). But they are nice when I need to get some work done. I stick Lucy in her highchair where I can see her and give her a pile of puffs to keep her busy.

I love puffs!

Lucy also loves music. She enjoys playing with the puffs container. It makes a great shaker! She hums along too. :) My little singer. She often makes sing-song noises while playing. I hope she turns out to be musical! She loves to play the piano. Those keys are so much fun to bang on! Hopefully we'll start making more beautiful music in a few years. She's also content to sit and listen to me play. Amazing since she's constantly on the move! Oh, how I love her.

Shake shake shake!!

Playing piano with Daddy

Little Mozart in the making. :)
