We visited Playstreet Museum in McKinney today, and had so much fun.  I did a terrible job getting pictures again though. It is so hard when I am walking Lucy all over to remember to snap pictures. I’ll have to work on that.  Lucy loved this pink pig. She was squealing at him and telling him all about it.  She loved playing with the light rods, babies, floam, farm food, and milking the cow. She did look a bit confused at first though. 😂    She was not her happiest of self today because her teeth are really giving her fits. I just wish they would finish coming through and be done! Her gums are soooo swollen.  Today is technically her 9 month birthday, but since we were s busy this morning, I decided to post her official birthday picture post tomorrow. I did get a few cute pictures of her with Gigi though.   

Lucy is really talking a ton lately! She is coming out with all kinds of words. Today, with her usual “Dada” kick, she was also repetitively saying “Baby.” She really liked walking around the kitchen hollering “baby!”  

So the little kids are convinced Lucy has an imaginary friend named Bob. A while back, she would say “Bob” clearly all the time. It reminded me of the seagulls in Nemo. Well, Bob went away for a while. Just like Mama. 😕 But tonight at dinner, I sat down with Lucy to eat and she started talking. Out of the blue comes “Bob” again. It was so funny because all the kids at the table in unison said, “Bob’s back!” It was hilarious. I guess he was on vacation. 😉     I didn’t get any cute pictures of Lucy awake today, but I did get this one of her sleeping. She was smiling and laughing in her sleep, so I tried to catch it on camera, but of course she would stop as soon as the camera came out.

Oh boy, we are teething bad! Lucy is working on her upper 2 teeth now and she is quite miserable. Today, the bottom inner corner of her right upper tooth finally cut through the skin. It still has a bit to go across, but maybe the end of the top two is in sight. We ate lunch with Alex and she was a bit grouchy.  He wanted a picture with her so bad. This is the best we could get. Later, we played cars with Hadley. Being a big girl I guess takes her mind off of baby things like teething. 😉   Her teeth sure do not slow her down from being adventurous though. She keeps trying to let go and just take off. When I call her on it, she thinks she is so funny.  I’m terrified. I know she is going to be in everything! 😳

Lucy and I had lunch with Ms. Mary today. I was terrified that Lucy would be a bear, but she was FABULOUS! Getting ready was a challenge though! Lucy does not want to be put in anything. I keep buying things to try and give me time to get a shower and get ready, but it isn’t working. Lucy keeps finding her way out of them. Now it is her new jumper. She managed to lift one leg, contortion artist her butt out of the seat, and hang herself by the other leg. She wasn’t very happy.  I tried to have her play on her playmat in our room, but being mobile now, she gets around way too quickly.    She was pretty proud of herself for finding me.   I realized, after the fact, that I didn’t get any pictures of us at lunch. 😞 I guess it would have been tricky at the table though. I love spending time with Mary! It was great to see her. I really am so grateful Lucy did so well. When we got home, she wanted playtime. Her baby got a full check-up, head to toe! 😂  Look at all that Lucy Hair! It is coming in. Slowly but surely. Khaliyah is really enjoying grooming her too. 😜  I learned that Lucy does NOT like pirates. I tried showing her the pirate statue outside the auditorium at Wylie High tonight, and it made her very upset. She is a go get them kind of girl, but she definitely has a sensitive side. 

Lucy is really getting good at peek-a-boo. She loves when I hide her, and gets so excited when I find her. This morning, she was playing it herself in her crib. Of course she still does not sleep in her crib yet, but she thinks it is a great place to play!  After we finally got her dressed, we went to play with friends in McKinney. Lucy loves buddies, but is a bit off lately because of her teeth.  She is not as social as she usually is. She still played and enjoyed herself for a while, just chewing on her cheeks and lips as she went along.    

This little girl cracks me up! Today I got a “dairy free” yogurt from Sprouts. At this point, my food is Lucy’s food. As soon as Lucy saw what I had, she wanted it. She practically attacked me until I finally gave her the “empty” container. She thought it was the best thing ever. 

  Of course Khaliyah was right there to help clean up the mess!They are so funny together. I finally managed to put up Lucy’s swing on the playset, and it turned out to be a nightmare! She was terrified in it. I felt so bad. My kids have never been afraid of the swings. Jaime had this extra bucket swing that she let us borrow, and it made a world of difference. Not sure what it was about the blue swing, but I am glad it fixed our problem.

  
 Lucy loves our new fort…  …and the grass and weeds too! This is what we do at the bus stop almost every day. I just have to watch her really close because she is quick to the mouth! Lucy has finally discovered her groove. She loves this train that Emily gave her, and the ABC song is her favorite.   She will sometimes just turn the pages over and over again to get the music playing. Then she will get her arms and legs going. 😂 So cute!    I love baby dancing!

Lucy is in to EVERYTHING! She wants nothing to do with her baby toys. Only adventures, and finding things she shouldn’t have.  Today she found William’s remote control truck. She liked the flag on the antenna, so she helped herself. Every time I would ask her what she was doing, she would just laugh at me. She got so angry when I had to fish the flag out of her mouth. I ruined her fun.    Now I am really soaking in the quiet moments, because by the time she falls asleep, I am exhausted! 😂

Fabulous Weather! Fabulous Family!  Fabulous Church! Fabulous Baby! All around, it was a great day! Lucy got a new jumper, that I love so much better than the other one we tried.  I think she likes it too! She looked so cute in her denim and lace today. 😊  Lucy did NOT blow out at church today. (She might be allergic to her new diapers, but at least she stayed clean.) And Lucy was happy through all of Church! Yay!   She took her afternoon nap on the way home, but was full of major smiles when she woke up! I sure love this little girl! She sure brings so much joy into our family.
