All About Lucy

Lucy is such a good baby. She doesn't often cry (unless she's hungry- when she decides she's hungry, she wants her food NOW, and I never seem to be quick enough in getting it to her). She loves her bath time, her swing, and her Dad. She gets excited when we sing Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam to her, and tap her on the nose when we say "sunbeam." She also absolutely loves her pacifier...I'm starting to wonder if it was a mistake to get her hooked on it.

Tummy time isn't her favorite, but she'll tolerate it for a couple of minutes. It's fun to see her cute little personality starting to come out!

Blessing

Lucy's baby blessing was on the 27th of September. She looked adorable (of course!) in her little white dress. Her tights turned out to be HUGE, but oh well. She still looked perfect. And Ashton did a beautiful job on the blessing. Lucy slept through the whole thing. I have to admit, I was worried that during the blessing, Lucy would have a blowout in her diaper with the microphone right there, and everyone would be able to hear it. But thankfully, that didn't happen! (What a stupid thing to be worried about anyways, right?)

That evening, we went up to Mike and Lynda's (Ashton's uncle and aunt) for dinner. Pat and Nichole (Ashton's cousin and his wife) blessed their little boy, Alec, the same day. Since everyone wasn't able to make it to both blessings, Mike and Lynda had everyone over so we could at least all get together for dinner. It was a really nice day!

Cute Girl

I'm amazed at how much laundry this tiny 7 pound person can make. She can go through several outfits in a matter of minutes. But just look at her. She's so stinking cute, so it's okay.

Lucy's First Trip to the Zoo

On Labor Day we took Lucy to the zoo. Okay, so the trip was really more for Ashton and I, but we figured that Lucy would like being outside and hearing all the different sounds. And as you can clearly see from the pictures, she thoroughly enjoyed herself (she slept through pretty much the whole thing). It was fun for Ashton and I to get out of the house, though. Seeing all the animals was great, but the people watching was fantastic! We saw all kinds of great stuff.

Lucy!

Baby Lucy is here! Well, she's been here for about two and a half weeks, but this is the first chance I've had to update the blog! She was just barely under 6 lbs. when she was born, and she was 18 inches long. She's a little heavier and longer now. She's absolutely turned our lives upside down, but in a good way! We are so glad she's finally here!

Update

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's what's been going on over the past few weeks:
My Mom and I went to California for a week, and we got to go to Monterey for a few days. It was SO nice. We went to the aquarium, the beach, and of course, shopped.

My friend Kristine threw me a baby shower for all my friends and family in Sacramento. She outdid herself, and it was so fun!
Back here in Utah, Brittany and Christella threw Nichole and I a baby shower. They went all out, and we had a great time! Christi came out, too, so it was fun to see her!
Paige absolutely LOVES Uncle Ashton. It's pretty darn cute.

A Trip to Indiana

Last week we got to go to Indiana to visit Ashton's parents. We had a great time. The weather was beautiful, and it was so nice to relax and visit with the fam.
Ashton made paella while we were there. He put chicken, mussels, shrimp, and several different kinds of veggies in it. It was really tasty!
Christi, Ashton, and I went shopping one day, and I found this Christmas dress for the baby. It was originally $42.50, but I got it for less than $8! (I get REALLY excited when I get good deals!)
Thanks Dan, Christi, Clint, and Homey for a great trip!
