Laughing Lucy

Lucy got up early this morning to eat (circa 6:00), and after a nice early breakfast, she decided she didn't want to go back to sleep, despite my and Michaela's wishes. We tried to get to sleep for fifteen minutes or so by just ignoring what sounded like her best impression at an owl call, but it proved fruitless, so I got up and came downstairs to play with her.

Sometimes she acts really ticklish and laughs, and other times she just seems irritated with it. I was glad to see this morning was one of the former, and got a fun clip of her laughing it up.

Time has flown!

Well, actually, time has gone by at the same rate it always has, but it seems like its going faster than normal as our little one grows bigger everyday. Lucy is 16 weeks old and almost 4 months! She loves to sit (and stand) with support, grab things, play, talk/coo, laugh, put things in her mouth, and roll from side to side. Its amazing how many new things she can do everyday. She has thoroughly delighted everyone we've seen while staying here in Marietta.On that note, we are very much looking forward to seeing the family in St. Louis in about 2 weeks. Lucy misses her Grandpa, Grandma, Aunts and Uncles- she was only 3 weeks old when she saw them last!

Here are some of the many pictures we've taken this month:

Lucy loves the Beatles.

So sweet.

Lucy loves playing in the exersaucer... until she gets tired after a few minutes.
