Lucy's birthday party!

Lucy turned 1 one 11-11-11!  So naturally, we had to have a huge party to celebrate this special (and once in a lifetime) event!  We are so lucky to have so many friends and family that came and helped us celebrate Lucy on her special day!  Lucy had a fantastic time.  She loves cake -- although was surprisingly tentative when it came to smashing her cake.  And she LOVES people.  As far as we can tell, she had a great time.  Plus, she was an amazingly gracious gift getter, considering she is only one year old.  It was a wonderful day.  Thanks again to everyone that came!

She's quickly learning how to play these.

A fitting tribute for Lucy's 1st birthday on 11-11-11.

Her Enginerd parents

Utah Weather

I actually love that one day we can do this:

And the very next day we can do this:

Lucy's first time playing in the snow!  She loved it!

 Plus, I love showing Lucy new and fun things.  Life is good. 

Just like her daddy. . .

Yep, I'm pretty sure Lucy is going to be a drummer when she grows up. 

Oh, and maybe an engineer too. 

And I'm pretty sure we need this onesie for Lucy.  =)

I can't believe this little girl will be one year old next month!!

I love when my sisters come to town!

This summer I was lucky enough to have two of my sisters come visit (plus we are very excited for Cali's visit this month!!)!!  We had so much fun with Taylor and Shawn, and Madeline and Asher!  Lucy is at the age where she loves being around other kids, and was fascinated watching Mad and Asher play.   Plus, Lucy was very tolerant of Asher mauling her. =)  It was also great celebrating Madeline and Asher's birthdays!  They were so so cute when opening presents.  It was very rewarding. 

Riding the train in west Farmington!

The small train was definitely more fun! 

Love her!

About a month later, Hannah and Neal and their baby G came to visit! Now it was Lucy's turn to maul!

It was so good to finally meet G!  Gideon is such a cute chunky baby!  Even though he is 6 months younger than Lucy, he outweighs her by a whole pound!!!  At least she makes up for size in mobility -- she could take him any day.  =)  We had so much fun river rafting with Han and Neal (another post about that to come soon...) and just chilling at the pool.  Oh, how I love just chilling with my siblings! 

Lucy and Gideon both loved swimming!

I love my sisters, and love spending time with them and their families. I can't wait for Cali, Josh, Piper, and Bastian to come visit!

10 Month Stats

So, I realize that I haven't done Lucy's stats in a very long time.  So here is a quick picture recap of Lucy's past few months:  

 

8 months

7 months

9 months

10 months

And now, without further ado: Lucy's 10 month stats!

Height: 27.5 inches (25%)

Weight: 17 pounds 5 ounces (28%)

Teeth: Zero!  Apparently, she is a very late teether -- no complaints here!

She is going to be walking soon!

Favorite Book: "All God's Critters"

Favorite Song:  "Slippery Fish" (thanks for introducing it to us Tay, Mad, and Asher!)

Favorite Food: Bananas, cheese, pretty much anything she can pick up with her fingers

Least Favorite Food: Avocado -- this is actually the only food she refuses eat.

Likes: Standing up, exploring, looking at books, being outside, keys, swimming, swinging in a swing, mirrors, looking at pictures of herself and other babies, being around her cousins!

Dislikes: Being held or contained (like at Church), showers -- that's all I can think of!  She is a very self-entertained, happy, and chill baby.

Lucy loves to look at her books!

"The sun is too bright!"

Windows are fun!

Peek-a-boo!

Such a happy baby!

In which a sheep bites Lucy

A few months ago there was a groupon for This Is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City.  Since we live about 10 minutes away, I decided that we should check it out. 

Our first stop was the mini pioneer village!  It was very cute -- we had fun taking lots of pictures of Lucy.  

Our next stop was the petting zoo!  Lucy was having a fun time petting the goats and sheep, and even started laughing when the sheep licked her fingers.  Okay, at this point I probably should have clued in, and moved Lucy's hand away from the sheep's mouth.  Sadly, I did not, and the next thing I know, Lucy is crying hysterically because the sheep bit her!  Poor girl.  I just hope she's not traumatized for life!

Pony ride!

We also went on a train ride, a mini train ride, learned about pioneer chores, and made arrowhead necklaces.  All in all, we had a pretty fun time.  Hey, I might even go again -- especially since I have still have one groupon left.  =)
