October

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this month so far:

Half of a year has passed already?!

We absolutely cannot believe that Lucy is 6 months old! Now I feel as though I can resonate with parents that often repeat the popular saying, "I feel like she was just born yesterday!"

So many things have happened in the last month and I've been bad at keeping up with this blog. I'm okay with that though because I'd much rather spend my time with my family and working hard to finish raising our financial support so we can return home and do ministry full time.

That said, here are a few short updates:

• Lucy is sitting up well on her own.
• She loves to play with toys now.
• She's still laughing a lot.
• She eats all sorts of pureed fruits and veggies.
• She weighs 15 pounds.
• She is displaying more of a Mommy and Daddy attachment now, but still loves people.
• Her bedtime has been bumped up as of this week and is now around the eight o'clock hour.
• Her two teeth are absolutely adorable, in my opinion. :)

In the last 2 weeks, we traveled from St. Louis to Normal for a little less than a week in our own home, then back to St. Louis for a day, then to Louisville for a few days to visit our good friends, then on to Atlanta. Phew! That was a lot of time on the road. Needless to say, we are happy to be in one place for awhile, but so very anxious to get home for good, presumably sometime in December.

Last week when we were visiting our friends Kevin and Lauren, their 22-month old boy was very interested in "Baby Oosley."
