1 year ago today....

One year ago today started out like any other day. I went to work, then went to target, then came home and, Surprise!

We found out that a baby was on the way! Well, I found out. Patrick was off practicing for graduation at Bellarmine when he received my frantic, not- so- calm phone call.

Tomorrow our little Lucie will be 4 months old! It's crazy how much can change in a year. We feel so blessed to have her and never fathomed we could love this sweet pea so much! Her arrival has helped us slow down and enjoy life more. God's timing was perfect on sending Lucie. What a joy she is...

This month has brought many changes in the life of Lucie. She started spending most days at one of her grandma's or Mrs. Amber's house. I think she's really getting used to being away from home and liking seeing someone new each day. Thursdays are my favorite days. On Thursdays Lucie and I spend the whole day together. We play, go shopping, go for lunch dates, and, of course, nap. Lucie was born on a Thursday, and I think it's fitting that Thursday ended up being my day off.

This month Lucie started out learning to talk more. She babbles all the time. Her personality continues to develop, and she loves when Patrick comes home and makes funny faces for her. We noticed about halfway through the month that she is doing really well standing and sitting with just a little support. We started using the jumparoo and she really likes it. We have to put a pillow underneath, though, because she's not yet big enough to touch the ground.

Yesterday, Lucie FINALLY rolled over! I feel like I've been waiting forever for this first movement milestone. She did it several times yesterday and again today so it isn't a fluke! You would think she graduated from Harvard; I'm one proud mama.

She went to the pediatrician's office today. She is growing up nice and big. She weighs 15 lbs 1 oz and is 25 inches long! Thats 75% weight and 80% in height! Starting solids is just around the corner! She's also doing great sleeping through the night, usually about 730pm-630am. This has allowed for me to start running again :) Knock on wood-- I hope she keeps it up!

Our condo is still for sale, so if you know of anyone looking, please send them our way!
