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 :/
