I remember when you were so small,

Dear Lucy,

I remember when you were so small. I say this to people and they look at me like I'm crazy....what are you talking about, Lady!? She's only 6 months old! And yes, this is true. My head will probably explode on your 20th birthday. But thank God I'm not there yet. At this point in time I am sitting here staring at you and laughing about having to send Dad to wally world to get some preemie diapers right after you were born, because right at this moment I can see a red mark around the circumference of your head, left by a hat intended for an 18 month old. You definitely have a big head.

Most people would say it's to hold all your brains...but I'm going to be honest. It's because your dad has a big head. A really big head. Just pray that you have more brain in there than he does ;) j/k Brad...I love you :D

I finally found the tape measure and measured how long you are, too! 27" long. You were born 19" long....so that's pretty good! 8 inches in 6 months....and you weigh about 17 1/2 lbs...having started at 6'6oz and dropping to 5'14oz that means that in 6 months you've gained 12 lb 6oz...thats pretty good, too :D...I think my math is right,lol. You can tell me when you're old enough to figure it out. Phil should be a pretty good teacher.

I'm trying to think up some fun things for us to do now that Dad will be working out of town regularly. I'm already planning our trip to Vancouver for the Olympics protest..but that depends on whether or not all the pups are sold by then. (If anybody has any suggestions of fun things to do with a younger baby please comment below!). I'd like to be able to write some interesting stuff for you to reflect on :P As much as I'd love to, I can only write so many times about how good you are at shoving your feet into your mouth.

And how your friggin fingernails grow at warp speed into little talons. The marks on my body that look like stretch marks....yeah...thanks Lucy for the daily clawings.

<3 Ma
