The first year of a baby's life is full of so many milestones and firsts, but the second isn't so far behind. In an effort to remember some of Lucy's milestones I decided to do some updates throughout her second year. She sure is growing and changing fast and I don't want to forget all these moments :).
Lucy has now been walking for three months now. If she crawls, she crawls for a couple of seconds and then is back to walking/running again. For having some short legs she is surprisingly very fast on her feet!!
Lucy LOVES to be outside!!
She really enjoys laying on the wet pavement for some reason.
This girl loves to paint and play with bubbles a lot! We "paint" with water outside with a foam brush all the time.
A lot of objects are still going straight into her mouth :).
We frequent the park often and swing on the swings on almost a daily basis.
As of late she has loved picking up rocks and walking with them in her hands.
Again, object in mouth...
She loves to hand you a book, crawl into your lap, and have you read it to her. Her favorite books at the moment are Brown Bear, Brown Bear and You Are My Cupcake, any books that have moving parts, and any Sandra Boynton books.
She makes noises representing different animals. Whenever she sees a dog she starts barking like one. A lot of her noises sound like a dog barking, but she tries :).
She drank through a straw, went on her first bike ride with daddy, and climbed onto a table for the first time just this month.
Speaking of climbing, she is a climber and climbs on to anything she can. Any bed, a table, a slide, a chair, the couch. We keep kidding that she's the one that's going to break her arm like her daddy did (but we're half serious). She figured out how to climb onto the couch and not just sit on it...she wants to jump and play!
This girl is reckless and sees no danger and has no fear (except for heights). When no one is watching her she likes to go into a room, climb and stand on the bed and throw herself back. She's hit the nightstand several times but this hasn't stopped her a bit.
This girl is pretty mischievous. She is obsessed with the toilet and has been found throwing objects and toilet paper rolls in and been caught playing in the water.
Lucy can throw some pretty epic tantrums!
Lucy's first visit to the family cabin happened about 2 months ago and can be found here.
Lucy loves to lick windows. We're really trying to break her of this gross habit.
She got to attend her first wedding!
She really likes giving high fives!
She had her first Easter and the rest of those memories can be found here.
Teething hasn't been fun for this little girl and her little ears were hurting quite a bit it seemed.
But she always ended her teething pains with a smile :).
She enjoys pushing this stroller around the house all day. She picks up her little baby and feeds her a bottle too.
This girl LOVES music just like her sister. She loves to dance and move...the louder the better!
Lucy is a babbler. She hasn't said too many words yet, but she does say hi, Aubrey, daddy, and tries to say thank you. I'm still waiting for her to say mommy :).
She enjoys giving raspberries on other's tummies. She thinks this is pretty funny :).
Lucy is a pretty good kicker in the water
She loves to look at fountains.
Looking at fish through the wood slats on the bridge at my parent's house has been pretty entertaining for her. She lays there and keeps says, "Fishy, fishy!"
Loves to rock back and forth on her giraffe toy.
Lucy tried a lemon for the first time. She wasn't a fan.
Likes playing with play dough and sitting at her sister's desk like a big girl.
She also loves to carry around the play dough containers and leave them in hiding places around the house. It's always a fun game when you're cleaning up and find them in the most random of places.
Lucy had her first ocean and aquarium experiences at our trip to Monterey. She loved the sand, but not the water so much. She really liked the aquarium. More about that trip can be found here.
Loves her afternoon snack time. We tell her to go sit down and she goes straight to her seat and waits for her snack. She usually finishes most of her snack and sits the entire time in her chair. Most times she isn't as obedient, but when there is food involved she is :).
She is in mostly 9 month clothes, but some 12 month clothes fit as well. She is in size three diapers.
One of our favorite things that she does is when we are rocking her to sleep and on the last note of any song that we're singing to her she'll chime in and sing the last note with you :).
Little Lucy loves her sister. They share many laughs together and their interactions are becoming more interesting to sit back and watch.
Aubrey really loves to read to Lucy :).
Lucy is growing! Although she really seems to small to be walking :).
At her 15 month appointment three weeks ago she weighed 18 lbs, 13 oz (15%) and was 29 3/4 inches tall (21%). She's been a really good eater lately and its finally showed these past few months!
You've changed and grown a lot this month Miss Lucy! Here's to more growth and changes in the coming months :).
