Oh So Helpful

Lucy is turning into such a helpful little girl. The other day I was scrubbing the front of the appliances in the kitchen and she helped with her own paper towel. She did the whole front of the freezer! It was super cute but I forgot to get a picture. She was also really helpful on Saturday. Saturday was a beautiful day mid 60's not a cloud in the sky. Dave and I decided we would wash the cars and vacuum the insides. We put Lucy in the backyard with her sidewalk chalk and got to work. I got the cars vacuumed and Lucy kept far away. It was a really loud hand vac which I think may have scared her. Once I stopped though she came out of the backyard and decided to help Dave. By the end of the car wash session she was cold, wet, dirty, and soapy. She could not have been happier! I took her in and gave her a bath right away to clean her off and warm her up. It was a great afternoon for her!

Grant's Room

I have been working really hard to get Grant's room done. I wanted it done long before he arrived incase he comes early, or you know when I am huge I stop feeling like getting things organized. Dave really wanted to do a penguin theme. I made a simple black and white bumper to go along with all of the penguins. Dave hung up lots of pictures that he cut from a calendar and he found some really cute figurines to put out to. Dave was kind enough to put the chest of drawers together for me. It turned out just as I wanted it to! Here are some pictures of the final product.

Lucy

So Lucy has officially started sleeping in a bed and taking naps in bed too. I know it is time to go and get her because I hear her at the door. Soon she will be tall enough and I won't even have to do that. She will just open the door up when she wants out! Here are just some other pictures. I love it when Dave and her watch cartoons in the morning together. It is really the only time she will cuddle. She is also starting to turn into a dare devil. She tries to climb into the stroller, she will stand in her high chair if not buckled in. She also like to flip chairs over and use them as jungle gyms. She is cute, but man if you are not watching her, there may be a loud boom followed by crying!

Snow!

It is snowing in Texas. According to the weather channel it will be about 4 inches total. Crazy!! So I took the chance to let Lucy play in the snow. She liked to watch the snow. I tried to have her walk in it and she fell and started crying. She would touch a little bit of it and then get upset that her hands were wet and cold. She kept walking around and looking up at the sky and out in the grass. She really liked to watch the way the snow flakes fell. However, she only lasted 30 minutes before her teeth were chattering and she wanted to go back inside. At least I got some cute pictures. When we came in I made some hot chocolate and let her have a sample. She really enjoyed that!
