10/52

10_52A portrait of my daughter, every week, each week of 2014. Lucy and I took a hike today. After a night of little sleep (she woke up every two hours to nurse), I needed the cool breeze and sunshine to invigorate my afternoon…and they did. We walked and talked and shared an apple as we let our eyes settle on the majesty of our neighborhood. Living within walking distance of the Garden of the Gods makes you appreciate the beauty of our world on a daily basis.

10_52_2Lu explores our house more and more each day. From kitchen utensils to living room coasters to the scale in our bathroom, she manages to get her hands on most everything. Baby-proofing has become a necessity in the last few weeks. We finally bought and installed a baby gate to keep her from climbing down the stairs to visit her dad (who works in the basement).

This week has been a good one. We’ve laughed and giggled and she’s even saying, “ma-ma” now. Thank you for sending us such sweet words of encouragement. I treasure every one!

    So something they don’t tell you – HIKE NOW! Hiking becomes more of a chore when they hit the walking stage. Because then they want to walk, but they don’t want to walk for long. And they want to sit and watch a rock for 15 minutes. And then can you carry me – in arms, not in carrier. And now I want down again. And so on and so forth.

    Aw, yay for saying ma-ma! I hope to get out for a hike this weekend – I could use the cool pretty weather and outside air after this week! Hope you have a wonderful weekend friend!

    Beautiful post as always ♡ seeing Lucy with the container lid brings the biggest smile. It reminds me of all the hours of fun our boys had pulling out the pots, pans, spoons and spatulas from our kitchen cupboards and drawers — hours of guaranteed entertainment :). Enjoy the sunshine and invigorating breezes with your burgeoning babe. xx

    I always love getting my weekly Lucy “fix!” It’s so much fun to see how she changes from week to week. I know you love all these photos now, but they’re going to become your most precious possession, ever.
