Dear Lucy,
I've noticed a trend, as you get older, I blog less. Must have something to do with...oh I don't know....you being so freaking demanding...
Your tooth is just sitting there torturing you and there's not much I can do to help you with it. So that means you have been essentially screaming all day. You only sleep when attached to a boob. Which in turn means that I get nothing done. Including blogging. Though I suppose I could blog while feeding you....but that requires planning. Sort of....by the time you can read these letters you will have realized that planning is not my strong suit.
You said Duck today. There is no doubt about it in my mind. You were playing with the rubber duck. You looked at it and said..."DUHK" so I played a little game with you and you said it a few more times. So it's official. Your first word. Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but it was pretty apparent to me.
Most baby's say "dada" or "mama" first. Guess we know where your priorities lie....
You also pulled a little stunt where you tried to stand up on your own. I'm 100% positive it ended in a face plant...because I watched you and it was hilarious. But it's scaring the crap out of me. I can hardly handle crawling. If you walk early I'll just lock you in the dog crate at night with a bowl of water and some toys. Maybe my mornings will be a little more peaceful. At least you wont whine when you have to pee like the dogs! PRAISE JESUS FOR DIAPERS!
AND!!!! You've started eating a little better. Today you had some thoop with me. Good ol homemade....soup....I can't even tell you what kind since I made it up. SOOO delicious. And you had some rice cereal masked in some sort of oatmeal/apple jarred stuff you seem to like.
And then you had a big girl poop.
Ew
I love you!
Mum!

All I want for easter is my two front teeth!
Dear Lulu,
It's happened! It's REALLY happened! You have a tooth. Ok so it's like..a sliver of a tooth, but it's there! FOR REAL! I've been waiting months for this moment, and yet praying that it would never come....I've been thinking all day about what sort of changes this means for us....something so small is such an interruption :P For instance, now I have to brush your teeth. Ok not such a big deal...but one more thing I have to worry about. Also, how will this affect our nursing!? Hopefully not at all, but I know you well enough to know that you will use every chance you get to remind me that you've grown some pearly whites...or a pearly white. Whatever.... It's also going to change how you look. I've grown so accustomed to your gummy little smile. I'm going to miss it for sure. I figure I wont be around when you get to the point in your life that your back to toothless, and if I am....well you definitely wont be as cute as you are now...
I know it's just another stage but for some reason that little cut in your gum with the little white sliver is FREAKIN ME OUT!
In other news, you may well have started talking. I didn't make the connection at first, but today it clicked that you were pointing at Hudson and saying "DAH. DAH!" I think you're saying "DOG" LOL. Like Jessica said today...most babies learn "Dad" first because the Mom is always saying it...but since Dad's gone, you get to listen to me complain about the dogs :D I'll keep my ears open and see if you keep it up, but it's been a couple days now... It's pretty cute.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
You had a butt rash today. The first in almost ever....I was pretty excited to get to use the vaseline again. I only have about a million giant tubs of it.....

You are a blessing!
Dear Lucy,
You were so good today that I had to write a thank you note. I managed to do some gardening, go boxing, clean up some of the house, do the laundry (like 4 loads), bring a trunk full of baby clothes to the clothes closet, sort of play with the dogs, and even eat 3 meals....
I'm impressed. You took 2 decent naps! But then...you are still awake at 10:40pm....and wide awake at that. And naked.
You are so much happier naked. I think I'll leave you naked all summer. Maybe it'll potty train you by the time you're 1.
Don't we all wish....
<3 always, ma

Ahhhh, the good life....ROFL ya..right...
Dear Lucy,
We're down to our last $20 I think ;) Dad gets paid on Saturday and I think all will be ok since there will be some extra after "le mortgage" comes out. Woo! And if he gets laid off I think he gets the rest of his money super soon so that is wonderful news toO!
Today was SOOO beautiful. We went outside and I did some minor yard clean up while you played in the play pen. I really wanted to mow the lawn but I had no gas and didn't want to go buy any...because it's our last bit of cash ;) But that's ok! The grass looks super green long. Mom likey....
I think it's official that Tripper is housetrained. I'm quite pleased with myself since Hudson still is a bit of a retard when it comes to going to the bathroom in the house. But that's my fault. I should try to retrain him again. While I'm still training Tripper that is....could work!
You only clapped once today. It's kind of discouraging. I feel like as soon as you learn something you should be constantly doing it, but apparently that is not the case.
Anyways, I'm hoping you'll nurse off to sleep in the next 10 minutes so I can get some little things done and then POOF! We'll snuggle up in bed........
Oh yeah! So last night I had this dream that Jenny and I were driving somewhere and you were in the backseat and all of a sudden you said "Hello Lucy!" REALLY loud. And you'd never talked before! How crazy is that. The night before I dreamed you walked, and last night I dreamed you talked....you're getting all big and stuff :/
And some good news, you didn't fall off anything today. But you did bash your head against the wall. Completely your doing I might add. Thats what you get for resisting the high chair.
I love you mucho!

Hushhh....
Dear Lulu,
You are the most BEAUTIFUL sleeping baby ever :D You woke up about an hour and a half ago and thwarted my plans to sleep in...but I forgive you now that you passed out after I pretended to still be asleep. You are soooo uber sweet. I just want to pinch your little candy cheeks.
Baby time is today at the library, but I think if the sun comes out first we'll pass and have some play time with the dogs outside in the yard. Or we can walk to the library and back...I dont know yet. Why is 8:30 still too early for me? I think I've been spoiled ;)
Love you!
Ma

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!!! CLAP CLAP!
Dear Lucy,
New milestone today!!! This morning I spent a little time singing with you and you clapped along! In front of people I might ad. You never do anything in front of people. I'm so excited since this brings a whole new dimension to our sing along times! You've just been so much fun since becoming more interactive. You're actually a little person now as opposed to a little lump of crab face. And your hair is coming in soooooooo nice. I'm so excited to dress you up.
I just had to write about this. I'm pretty much set for at least a month now.
Oh, you fell off the bed again this morning. Can I get sent to jail for that? I know I should stop leaving you in it unattended. But you start off asleep.....its not my fault you wake up on the floor.....right?
I'm sorry, I love you :/

It's been WAYYYY too long
Dear Lucy,
I'm sorry I haven't been on top of this whole deal :D It's been over 20 days! LOL. I've just been completely swamped. You are crawling around like crazy. Wouldn't seem like it so much to the outside world but I think you're so stunned when we're in a new place that you put your brakes on and investigate from a safe spot...but when we're home you've got a little motor going and I can hardly keep up :/ On top of that I've got the puppy still...looks like we're keeping him. You'll know him as Tripper, or Trip as I call him for short, because all dogs need a nickname....He's possibly the smartest puppy I've ever met, but for some reason I can't get rid of him. However, he's still a puppy and he takes A LOT of time. House training him would be so easy if I didn't have to worry about bringing you outside with me. Sometimes I leave you in the playpen (forgive me...LOL), but it has to be done. At least I can hear you screaming from outside ;)
Dad finally found a job! But he said today that he might come home on Friday if they don't have another rig for him to go to. It sounds like they should have a spot for him, but I don't think it would be good for him to come home. I don't know :/ I'm still not sure what God wants exactly. I get so excited for things and they crash down all around me constantly so I'm just going to let this ride go and not get upset if it doesn't work out. But Dad's been doing good at his job and I know everything will work out regardless of what happens.
We've also been busy with baby groups, and you've been going boxing with me :D While it's a joy to have you with me, it sure is stressful. On top of all this I'm TRYING to keep the house clean. Between me being in and out of the house and the dogs it's pretty much a full time job sweeping alone, nevermind the rest of it :/
SOOO, that's my long winded apology. It would sure be nice to relax :D
I'm really enjoying my time with you. You've changed SOOO much in the last few weeks. It's really amazing. I love how much you laugh now. You find so many things funny you fill my heart with love every time your eyes light up. You are one fantastical kid.
Except you're STILL teething. Get over it already......if those teeth don't pop out soon I'm gonna pull them through myself. At least I don't have to wake up at night to "console" yourself. Oh the joys of bed-sharing.....
Love always, mom
