Lucy LOVES to squeal right now. She does it A LOT! She barely slept for some reason last night, but woke up this morning her happy squealy self.   She has played and squealed, and laughed and squealed, and is now tired and ready for her nap. 

Lucy and I went to story time again today. She absolutely loves it! She goes into the room with the biggest smile. Today she thoroughly enjoyed squealing and shreiking sounds of joy and delight almost the entire time. I kept trying to quietly tell her we were in the library, but in the back of my mind, I was just thrilled she was so happy. We have come a long way in her 4 short months. She really likes to smile at Mrs. Kelsey. When story time was over, we checked out some new board books and some baby CDs. Lucy loves Baby Einstein. (The old version.) I wish we still had all of our Baby Einstein videos. I don’t even know if they make those anymore. The new ones are too cartoonish and not as engaging. Lucy played so hard when we got home, she took some fabulous naps. She is so busy when she is awake, sleeping is becoming the only way I can take pictures of her.  

 It is funny how similar she sleeps. These were all taken at different times during the day.  

  I LOVE how happy she is when she wakes up. 

 This evening, I really wanted Alex to read since he has not been reading books at school yet. He decided to read to Lucy. It was so cute. She was so interested in what he was doing. I love how excited she gets with her siblings.  

  I love how cute Lucy looks sleeping. She is such a beautiful baby! Today we had a busy morning. We were going walking with Mrs. Cami and Stephen was coming over, so I had to wake up Lucy early. She loved her walk and being outside while the big kids played at the park. After a bit of a diaper malfunction, a change of clothes, and more friends coming over, I got a second to snap some pictures of Lucy. Today she just wanted to squeal at me. She is so funny, and such a girl! 😆 

The older Lucy gets, the harder it is becoming to get her picture. She is always flipping, or turning, or has a hand/foot in her mouth. So, this is what we get… 

Yep, it’s only 8:30 and we have already found the sink. So much for getting breakfast. 😆  

  I hate it when Lucy is doing something super cute and I think I’m recording it, but I’m not. Ugh! She was squealing a ton and just talking my ear off. Yep, I didn’t hit the start recording button. Oh well, she’s still cute anyways. (Lighting wasn’t the greatest.) 

Lucy HAD to eat them! 

We decided to take the kids to the Plano Balloon Festival today. It was a fabulous day, weather wise, but we just happened to choose the most visited day in the featival’s history. The crowds were crazy. It took us an hour to park. We finally stopped about 2 miles away from the entrance, since Lucy woke up and was done being in the stop and go traffic. Walking was much better than in the van. Lucy was not very fond of all the people everywhere, but she really enjoyed it when all the balloons lit up at the same time. It was beautiful. 

“Who are all these people?!”    

  The Glow 

 Fireworks or Water Bottle? That is the question. 

This morning we had to wake up Lucy really early because the little boys had Bulldog Boogie at school. William’s teacher notified us that he was getting an award, and we found out there, that Alex was getting an award too. We didn’t want to miss it, but Lucy was sure thrown off schedule the rest of the day. It was our day to have lunch with William, so it seemed like as soon as Lu fell asleep for a nap, I had to wake her up to go somewhere else. It is now after 10:00, and she is finally able to be out of that dumb car seat and in bed. 

  Lucy fell asleep at the end of awards.  Tried to catch a nap before lunch
Almost slept through lunch.Lucy loved having lunch with Wii!

Lucy enjoys playing in the kitchen sink. Now it has become more of an obsession. I cannot even have her catch sight of it, or else we have to go play in it. Otherwise, it is a full on 4 month old temper tantrum. Really?! Already!?! I love that she has found something that she really enjoys to do and can communicate that to me. However, is she also displaying her personality of having to have things HER way already?😳 I hope this is just a phase and not a sign of what to expect later. For now, I guess my entire day will be spent in the kitchen at the sink. 😉
