6 Months!

Can you believe it?

At six months, Lucy is a mommy's girl. She also loves watching her brother and playing with his toys. She has been eating solid foods for a month, but already loves all kinds of fruits and vegetables, particularly prunes, bananas and carrots. She even loves the little puffs (broken in to small pieces). Though she was sleeping through the night in Colorado, the move disrupted her schedule and she wakes up at least once a night most nights. She also still takes 2-3 naps per day.

Lucy popped one bottom front tooth at 6.5 months and the other bottom front tooth two days later. Here are her stats (unfortunately, our new doctor doesn't give us the percentages, but they're all about 40%):

Height: 26"

Weight: 15 lbs

Lucy has crazy hair that won't go anywhere but in her eyes. If I comb it back, it sticks straight up! Her eyes are still a beautiful blue, and she has the cutest little thighs. Sometimes we call Lucy a little octopus because she seems to grab anything and everything. When sitting up on her own on the rug, she can flatten completely flat over her legs and reach things she's not supposed to. She is also good at getting the remote and messing up the tv when Ty is watching. I just love my little sweetheart. 

 

Matchy matchy without even planning!

Crazy Kids

These are a few pictures of our goings on.

At our new house, we have a cool spice drawer. I made the mistake of putting sprinkles in it. Ty found them and dumped them all into a bowl (or two) then proceeded to use his construction trucks to dig with them. Very creative.

 

Lucy was a good sport while we shopped for rugs.

Just after moving in, I was invited to join a co-op preschool group with some other kids from church. Ty started in August. He goes twice a week for two hours and I teach every fourth week. It's gone ...mostly... well so far.

Ty came in the house one day wearing this. Tim says he looks like the carnival guy from Despicable Me. We've had some other appropriate comments as well on instagram.

 

I absolutely LOVE this cute dress Lucy got from either Aubrey or Grandma and Grandpa at the Pink Party. She seemed to like it too.

  Fun times before bed.

 The best little moments...

 Future Nashville Rock Star?

 We finally installed this little "tv" for Lucy. It's a hit.

 In fact, I came in the next morning to this little stinker. She had turned it on herself!

 Rarely, these kids act like angels.

 

Very Rarely.

A Bushel and a Peck and an Entire Trunk

We had been planning to meet Grandpa Rod at the cabin to pick apples, but he ended up going to Utah once Grandpa Gordon passed away. We headed down on our own to tackle the trees.

The cutest apple in the box

Ty loves sleeping on the air mattress in Grandma and Grandpa's "room" (ie the loft). He kept asking if Grandma and Grandpa were going to come after work.

Lucy loves carrots for breakfast!

We pretty much picked every single apple on every tree.

  And stored them for Rod to come sometime to make cider. Yum!
