cuteness supreme

1 month

Our little lucy is 1 month old today.  Really?  Already?  In some ways this month has flown by... but in other ways it seems like years ago that I was pregnant with her and we had 3 kids.  It's amazing how quickly a baby becomes a part of your family and you can't remember life without them.

Lucy is growing quickly now and is 10 lbs.  She started smiling at us this week, which of course, we love!  She loves being wrapped up tight to sleep and is a great sleeper still.  She seems to really come awake when the big kids are in bed.  We love this girl!

cute kids

mabel...you look way too old in this picture!

greasy baby

We didn't get pictures of Lucy's first bath...this is probably her 3rd or 4th.  

All that dark hair gets greasy fast...we love to rub her cute head of hair!

worlds funnest mom

On Veteran's Day, I attempted my first outing alone with all 4 kids in tow.  We hit up the free museum day at the Natural Museum of Science and History and went to see Toy Story 3 at the dollar theater.  I didn't attempt the movie alone, my friend and her 2 girls came with us and helped with the kids.  The kids had fun and nobody got lost!

2 weeks

First off, here's a picture of the first of many I'm sure...matching outfits.  

And Lucy is already 2 weeks old!  It seems like forever ago that I was pregnant.  I think the first 2 weeks of a baby's life are in some ways really fast, but in other ways, it feels like an eternity!  Lucy weighed 8 lb. 12 oz at her appt. today.  Almost back to birth weight.  We have really lazy baby eaters.  But she is perfect in every way and healthy and happy.  

first time to church

Lucy was an angel of course and slept through most of church.  And for those of you wondering how I did at church with 4 KIDS...well, we all survived.  We sat in the very back row, which I think will become our regular spot.  Spencer can still hear Andrew from the front.  He heard him announce a couple weeks ago "I tooted" during the Sacrament.  

bright eyed baby

Baby Lucy is starting to wake up a little out of her newborn sleep.  It's so fun to see those beautiful big blue eyes and try to figure out who she looks like...jury's still out on this kid.  But she sure is cute and a great baby.
