Lucy turns 1!

On the 19th Lucy turned 1! I know I've said it a million times but she is the best baby ever. She loves everyone, has zero stranger anxiety and puts up with a lot from her older siblings.

For her first birthday we were going to go to the pool but it was closed so we headed to the splash park.

We could hardly keep her still for a picture.

There we go. Do you love her ears? I do!

Then we had Ben and Emily up for dinner and cake.

She was concerned at first but then wrinkled her nose as all the kids gathered round and sang to her.

So while I was cutting up cake Hannah decided to try and give Lucy her first bite... on a fork.. and then scratched her under her right eye. So she cried for a few minutes before she even had a bite.

But then she was all about it for a few seconds. Just long enough to take a picture and then she was done.

Lucy at 1 year is 18 lbs and is just getting brave enough to take a step on her own. She sleeps 12 hours every night. She gets call LuLu and Goosey. Her favorite places are Mallie's bed and crawling around the sectional. And she digs her head into her muslin blankets as soon as she is tired. She never loses control or becomes inconsolable when it's naptime and I so love that about our 4th baby. She is carted everywhere and is just happy to go along for the ride. She only says Mama and Dada but loves to chase her siblings around. We love this little girl and are so glad she is ours!
