finally...

Ok, I've been lazy. I admit it. I am also a procrastinator. Here is where I stand up and say: " I am Nikki and I have a problem." My sweet baby has been 6 months old for 15 days and I am just now getting around to posting about it. Yes, I did take her pictures in the same spot, and yes, I posted them on facebook, but I just couldn't seem to get over to blogger and just do it! So much goes on in the life of a mom and by 9 pm, I am a tired mess. Here it is... finally!

Lucy Clare---I have been your mommy for a half of a year. Wow! I keep saying time has flown by and so it has. You are an amazing little wonder and are just about into everything. You are so growny already and have the cutest little personality! Here are some things you are doing now....

• You sit up unassisted all the time. No more bumbo or boppy.. You can do it all by yourself!




• You weigh 16 pounds 2.5 ounces and 25 1/2 inches long!




• You wear size 6-9 months clothing, but some 3-6 still fit you and you can still wear some onesies from when you were first born!




• We have moved up to a size 2 diaper and we are soon moving to a 3 (ahh.. the crawler ones!)




• You are almost crawling. You can move around by rolling, but you have a great army crawl these days!




• No teeth! Dr. Head did not feel any buds at our appointment.




• You can laugh and it is the cutest little thing.




• Happy feet you are. I don't know how your heels are bruised from as much as you kick and slam your feet on the ground!




• You also flap your arms when you get excited.




• You recognize your name and turn your head in the direction of the person calling your name.




• You still love Josiee, Rudy, and the stuffed animal gang, but I splurged and bought you a Sophie and you really like her too!




• You sit up in the buggy now in the front part when we go shopping. You think you are big stuff now.




• Solids are your friend. You eat and love sweet potatoes, applesauce, bananas, carrots, green beans, pears, and loads of cereal. I just bought you meats to try this weekend and daddy bought you mangoes and other fun fruits!




• You sleep most nights through the night. Randomly we will have a bad night, but I don't mind getting up with you (most of the time!)




• You love bath time and take a good long bath every night. You sit and play with your tub toys while I sit next to you and do a Sudoku.




• You like to watch WonderPets, Wordgirl, and PraiseBaby.




• You love to read books.




• You like to go to Zumba class with mommy and Gammy.

I had to post our first really good picture together. This is when we were coming home from the hospital. You had on your "coming home" outfit and I was just glad to not look like a whale. You were so tiny!

There is so much more you are doing... you are growing more and more. I love to watch you react to things around you. You love to people watch and smile at people when they tell you how cute you are!


Daddy and Mommy love you very much... You are very blessed and I love it that I can take you out and you act so well and love to be around others! You are a special creation!
