We Love Lucie: Two Months



Sweet baby Lulu is two months old, and she has done some major growing! She's weighing in at 13 pounds, 10 ounces, and she is 24 inches long! She is in the 95% for weight and the 98% for height! She is just behind her big brother who was 14 pounds and 24 1/2 inches at his two month visit! Our wonderful pediatrician said she looks like a perfectly healthy four month old!
She took her immunizations like a champ, crying a little, then calming right down. Just before the Alabama-LSU game, she had her first major fussy period, which I think probably had something to do with the shot. She slept after a good cry, but would wake with a cry and then fall right back to sleep. By late that night, she was back to her normal, even-tempered self.

Lucie is obviously a champion nurser, but she is also a great sleeper. She sleeps like a champ during the day and then comes alive when her siblings go to bed. She is determined to get her one-on-one time with mama! We are enjoying her smiles and coos, and I especially love when she tries to sing along with me. She loves when I sing a song I made up for her.


My little Lulu,
Your eyes are blue, blue
I love you true, true
My little Lulu

My little Lulu
How I love you, you
Oh, yes I do, do
My little Lu

She kicks and coos and tries to sing with me! She hasn't had her first real laugh, but she is definitely trying! We are so enjoying getting to know sweet Lucie, and we are so thankful she has joined our family!

Happy 31st Birthday!

Happy 31st Birthday Matt! Most people say things like, "I can hardly believe it's been a year since we fill-in-the blank... My, where does the time go???" Well, I know where the time since your last birthday has gone. It's been right here backing over us like a mack truck! All I can think as I remember last Halloween is how has it only been one year since you were celebrating your 30th birthday by going to a Halloween bash designed for teenagers while Aunt Pam and I took the kids trick-or-treating in the rain? It seems like at least three years ago since you and I were in the house with a princess throwing a fit about something while Aunt Pam was on the front porch knocking on the door to let us know our dragon had just made himself throw up to avoid wearing his costume. Seriously. Are you sure you're not turning 35? Since this year has been oh-so-eventful, I thought it would be no problem to come up with 31 memorable moments from the past year! 1. Begin at the b...

She Never Stops Talking

Sometimes when Matt is home for extended periods of time, as he was during the week of Thanksgiving, he has the opportunity to notice new things about our children. Not that he isn't connected to them - he is an amazing, hands-on, intentional dad, but the fact that he spends much of his time at work means that there are little "joys" his misses out on.  One of the little "joys" he misses most of the time is the opportunity to spend long periods of time in the car with our kids. (I attribute Matt's perpetual cheerfulness to this fact, but that is another story...) Over Thanksgiving, however, Matt spent all kinds of time in the car with our offspring, and he was stunned by the number of times Sophie said "Mama..." Now, she said it no more and no less than she normally does, but the fact that Matt was in the car and I was talking, or trying to talk, with him seemed to highlight how often the word that has become my name was uttered. Sophie has always...

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

"The boy" turned five, and it came as no surprise to anyone who's had a conversation with him in the past year that he wanted a superhero birthday party! He's fairly obsessed with all things superhero, and his absolutely favorite is Spiderman. Will had a great actual birthday (Matt stayed home from work, we went to an indoor play park where he ran into a buddy, and then we celebrated with the family at Aunt Pammie's). But his birthday party was like watching his dreams come true. We had superhero training at an indoor play park, but in reality, it was he and his buddies, playing their hearts out being as rough as they could be and then topping it off with cake, lemonade, and sno-cones! Of course, Mr. glass half-empty nearly had a meltdown because his party was "too short," but at least I knew that he had the time of his life! The highlight of the party was when his friends made a tunnel and he rode a motorized bike through the tunnel of friends chant...
