Today Lucy has been a Lucy Monster, but she is also known as,

Poopy princess

Monkey brains (this is Scott's...weird)
Miss L
Silly girl

Lucy Lu
Poopy pants
Pretty girl
Lulu
Baby
Sweetie pie

But today, Lucy Monster.

Lucy Monster: Refusal to take naps, extreme fussiness/tiredness/unhappiness, fights eating, needs-to-be-held-at-all-times-by-mom-or-else.

Two of Us

I'm pretty sure I'll cherish these photos for the rest of my life.
Thank you Allison for capturing these for me.
I think they are beautiful.

Life

Today I was so overwhelmed by happiness that I started to cry in the grocery store.

Just an ordinary day, nothing special.

But, lately I have just felt so utterly happy and that,

is wonderful.

Oliver

While this blog is now primarily dedicated to Lucy and all her glory, I have to give a shout-out to my first baby, Oliver. Who is so woefully neglected these days.

He is the sweetest dog and the bestest friend and I love him very, very much.

Snuggle Bug

When Lucy takes naps with us she likes to snuggle in.

We will put her in the middle of the bed, but she wriggles down until she is right next to you.
I love that she made sure her head and hand are touching Scott.

Ahhh, life is pretty sweet right now.

This Makes Me Laugh

Dear Lucy

I love you in the bonnet grandma made and your little grey outfit.
I bought it in the baby boy section and the cashier looked at me like I was a bad mom.
Sometimes I just need a pink break.

What a Difference

Has it only been a year since this was happening?

Reading that post was a powerful reminder of the many, many blessings in my life.

I'm done with feeling sorry for myself today.

Thank You

Thank you, thank you to everyone who voted and sent tremendous love and support my way.
I can't thank you enough. I'm truly blessed.
Although I didn't win, I'm definitely glad I tried. It was really a test for myself to see if I could come up with something that I could be proud of. and I did.
Plus, now I will always have a movie of Lucy and me surrounded by dangling Polaroids :)
