Much to share!

So much has been going on that it's hard to put everything into words as each day is fun and thrilling with Lucy and I wish I could share every detail. My first Mother's day was spent as a family at my Mom's. Bunny and Papa came up to celebrate and we grilled steaks. My 26th birthday followed shortly and I've never felt so young. Lucy keeps me on my toes! Jay planned a special birthday for me and took the day off of work. While we had originally planned on spending it doing something very special (more to come on that!) we had to change our plans and he took me to downtown Stillwater for the day. It was the one day out of about 2 weeks that was actually warm and sunny and we had a great time just wandering around as a family. We started out with burgers and malts for lunch and then he patiently took me antiquing! That night my mom and sister made us a homemade scallop dinner and we had cake and gifts. It was more than I could have ever asked for. Here are some pictures from our day!

Lucy makes even the smallest of things special for us. She's such a joy in our lives. I'm not sure a night has passed since she's been born where Jay + I haven't been cuddled up in bed after she has gone to sleep and we've said that we are the luckiest people in the world and we love our little life we've created together. I think it's funny to think of the trivial things we based our life off of or the things we worried about or spent our time on pre-Lucy. Children certainly change your view on the world :)

She had a great 4 month check-up and we were thrilled when the doctor observed that she is very socially advanced for her age. She's in the 75% percentile for height but less than 50% for weight, she's such a tall + scrawny little peanut. We keep waiting for her to get her baby chub, which there is still plenty of time for...but she's perfect to us ;) She's babbling like crazy, wanting to stand on her feet, and laughing a lot. She does this adorable thing where she smiles so big she has to close her little eyes and we think it's the cutest. We love to see her happy! We also recently started her on rice cereal and it's pretty hysterical to see her face when we try and feed it to her....let's just say she's less than impressed. We'll get there.

We have a lot of fun planned {and a little surprise too!} for the week so I hope I can make it back to blog about that sometime this week before things get crazy and we leave for vacation.
