Lucy Summer of 2009 Video

My December 30, 2009 Resolution

I need to post more here.

That's my December 30 resolution.

No, it's not a New Year's Resolution, it's a December 30 resolution. Two totally different things. The December 30 resolution isn't even capitalized. So, you see, totally different.

Anyway, as a start of my penance, I'm catching up on videos....as such, what follows is Lucy's Summer of 09 Video....

Pictures that did not make the holiday card this year...

Nana (Justin's mom) got Lucy the cutest Christmas outfit. We (actually me, Justin tried to be interested) were really excited to take an adorable picture of Lucy as the present under the Christmas tree. How cute would that be? Perfect Christmas card, right? Well....Lucy wouldn't exactly cooperate. We tried 3 different sessions and about 100 pictures. These are what we ended up with. Needless to say, we selected other photos for the card, which you will all be receiving soon enough. Thanks for the thought Nana.

I liked this one, but Justin thinks she looks "weird" since she isn't looking at the camera. I think its very artsy!
She can't quite sit up on her own yet, hence Justin's hand...

Here's a good pic of the whole outfit. During this session, she absolutely REFUSED to stop sucking on her fingers.

Enough said.

Proof that she's growing

Lucy at 3 months....
Lucy at 6 months...

Lucy LOVES bath time (and her dad)

(You'll want volume on this one.)

Happy Thanksgiving

It has become our tradition over the last several years to have our parents up for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately Susan (Justin's mom) wasn't able to make it this year. She got the flu to end all flues. She's thankfully feeling better, and was definitely missed.

Lucy weighed the same as the turkey!!
Justin made an amazingly good dinner...and all diary free! What a good husband I have.

The kids at daycare helped Lucy decorate the centerpiece. It was her hand though.

Rice Cereal and Sweet Potatoes

Now that Lucy's 6 months old (holy crap, where did the time go), we decided its time to introduce her to the wonderful world that is food. She didn't mind the rice cereal. There were certainly a few "what the hell are you doing to me" looks, but she ate it. She wasn't a huge fan of the sweet potatoes. There were a lot more looks with that one. And as you can see from the pictures, not as many sweet potatoes made it into her mouth. This little glimpse has confirmed our suspicion....Lucy is going to be a messy eater!!! She just can't keep those fingers out of her mouth. Should be interesting.
