6 month Lion Hearted Lucy

On January 10th little Lucy turned 6 months old! She has decided that she no longer wants to be the little princess Goose Girl, and has since found a better mentor. A lion. The 3 minutes that her mind was open to learning how to talk, happened to be when we were in front of the lion exibit at the Calgary Zoo 2 weeks ago. As we were walking out of the zoo Lucy started roaring just like a lion and has continued vocalize her inner Lioness ever since. She roars like a lion and farts like a bear. I think her collection of animal print clothing has got her a little confused. 

6 Month Stats:

Length: 25 1/4 inches = 30th percentile

Weight: 15 lbs. 4.5 oz. = 35th percentile

Head Circumference: 43 cm. = 65th percentile

Teeth: 3 - two on the bottom and one more just starting to come out on her top left. 

She's practicing for future Pouncing. All joking aside, she loves to jump. I'm still dreaming of her Olympic gold medals. 

Presenting Head Book Worm and her Trainee

We started Lucy on cereal on January 1st. At first she was a little confused.

But just 16 days later and she's already eating her carrots like a champ!

She's already grabbing the spoon. Please don't tell me we're going to go through the "I do it" phase early with this one.

My girls are growing up far too quickly!

Lucy's loves:


Dancing!! Her favorite is when all 4 of us are dancing together, with Lily in one parent's arms and herself in another and so that she is eye level with her sister and we are all snuggled in closely (this takes careful coordination on my and Jordan's part).


Her Daddy. Her new years resolution was to smile only for her Daddy. And ever since she has done just that. Anytime he walks into her view her entire face lights up.  She still smiles frequently at me and especially at Lily, however she has a special smile that she has only for her Daddy.


Shopping: my wonderful neighbor Brittnay has lent me her B'jorn for a while and Lucy loves to visit stores. Particularly ones where she has a vast population of people with whom she can have staring contests with those large penetrating eyes of her. 


She is still a very very happy, sweet girl and just the thought of her darling personality gets my eyes misty, so, we'll just leave it at this, I love her just as a mother should love her baby girl. My feelings for her and her sister are probably very similar to what most mothers feel. However, I am still amazed at how the feelings can, at times, be overwhelming.
