Lucy had a doctor visit on June 10. She weighed 21 lbs and 12 oz, still in the 90th percentile. The doctor was a little shocked when I told him she had food allergies with vomiting and diarrhea when she ate the wrong thing. He said he didn't know how she was able to grow so well with all of those problems! Just lucky I guess (it's probably because she has the best Mom in the whole world!Duh!) I am definitely learning as a Mom you have to go with your instincts and take matters into your own hands, because the doctor just checks to see if they are growing and then gives you a few suggestions and acts like everything will be fine.
Here is David and Lucy on Father's Day. Happy first Father's Day to Dave! If you look close you will see the sweet photo tie Lucy gave Dave for Father's Day. I am pretty sure everyone thinks we are nuts because we always walk to church with the baby backpack and then go hide it in the coat closet. We get a lot of looks when we first come in with the backpack and me wearing tennis shoes, but it has become a fun tradition I look forward to on Sundays. In fact, I love it so much that I wake up early and we have actually been on time, as opposed to our usual excitement if we make it for the Sacrament. (Don't ask me how that adds up?)
About Dave: He got a job! A full-time job! Woa! We are becoming real people! He interviewed on Tuesday and started work on Friday, working at Gold's Gym as a Hottie Personal Trainer. (No, he's the hottie! Hopefully he isn't training too many hotties for my sake!) San Diego...we will still be with you someday! I guess we will be in Utah a little while longer, which is fine with me at this point in the year (try telling me that in December and hear a different story!)
I had to include this adorable photo of Great Grandma Anna and Lucy. We went up there a few weeks ago to record my Grandma singing all the cute baby songs and poems she knows, plus some great readings. I wanted to capture her great theatrical voice and remember all the cute songs she sings so I can sing them to my kids. I am planning to put it on a CD for all the family who wants one.
As I mentioned I have been babysitting Mon-Thurs lately. 2 Girls, 6 and 10. As a result, Lucy goes around wearing ridiculous outfits most days. I just let them pick her outfits out because they love doing it so much. Anyway, I'm glad we are getting use out of some of the clothes that I never put on Lucy, just because they weren't practical. Here is one example of Lucy's new style.
Here is a funny one of Lucy. Now that she can get around, she gets to choose what strange activities she participates in. SHe loves to have her legs up in the air and I caught her doing this. I thought it was funny and worthy of a picture spot on the blog.
Our little Kitten! I was sad the other day and so David went through the hand-me-downs we have and dressed Lucy up like this. It definitely put a smile on my face.
I have always loved kitties and Lucy does too. She goes absolutely bonkers when she sees them and cries if we don't go pet it. She usually doesn't have such an aggressive personality about what she wants, just when there is a kitty. Well, I never realized how much I could really love a kitty until this little sweet one.
Last, but not least, after talking about it for months and finally getting up the courage to do it, I got my haircut short and I love it! It has been years since I was happy after getting my haircut, so I kind of just stopped cutting it and let it grow out more because I didn't want another short haircut that I hated than to really be growing long hair. Yeah for good haircuts! For those of you who know her, Malerie Daines cut it for me and I would highly recommend her to anyone! I am sad she just moved to Colorado,( lucky Colorado!) Dave suggested flying me out once a year for a haircut. We'll see... for now, I'm lovin' the new look!
