San Diego Zoo - Christmas 2007 (Lucy's first Zoo trip)

San Diego Zoo - June 2009 (One of many Zoo trips in 2009)

Wow! What a year and a half can do!
What I know now that I didn't know then:
- One little girl could learn and grow so much in so little time (and I would be the one saying super cliche things to people with babies like "they grow so fast")
- She would get dropped on her head, roll off the bed, and poke her fingers in the outlet and still turn out happy and smart.
- She would stop crying whenever we drove in the car
- My heart would grow and I would actually love her even more then I did when she was a baby.
- She would have curly hair
- It would bother me when she started calling me "wedy" (sorry, but it's Mommy to you little girl!)
- She would eat flower petals, old raisins found in the car, 2 rolly pollies (that I know of), fresh ABC gum from off the sidewalk, m&m's off the ground at Costco, dirt, sand, even little rocks and she would live through it all.
- I worried about tons of stuff for nothing!
- How much I would love being Lucy's Mom- Being a Mom is the hardest thing I have ever done, but it is definitely worth it!
