She makes us laugh. She makes us laugh so hard sometimes that I don’t remember how I ever lived life without this constant joy-maker in our home. She talks and laughs and shows us her ten little teeth. She crawls across the floor with such ferocity that I have to stop and watch her already developing zeal for exploration.
She throws the ball for Margot and then claps in delight when its brought back to her. The sight of her uncle, her grandma, her Mimi, her papa, her family…it brings her so much joy. She bounces and squeals as they walk up the path to our home. Her love grows and grows.
This week I’m missing my own mom and dad (who are on a much deserved 3 week vacation in France). I know Lucy misses them too. She hasn’t been sleeping as well during the day (naps have gone from 90 minutes to about 30) but night time sleep has improved. Drastically. I only wake up once a night to nurse, and I’m starting to feel, dare-I-say, well-rested.
We’ll head to Mom and Me Yoga in a few hours, where Lucy will no doubt delight (and slightly terrorize) her baby friends. I will relax in the company of other new moms and try to get at least a few good stretches in. Here’s to another beautiful week in 2014. I hope you are having a great one.
awwwwww adorable. So glad you’re able to sleep more at night!
The laughing is good. Soon enough, she’s going to be tearing around corners and you’ll know where she is by HER laugh as she unrolls all the toilet paper in your home.
Lucy is such a cutie!! Aw, I totally can’t wait to have a little one around to make me smile and laugh all day 🙂
That last picture is a killer! So, so good. Fun pictures (and post!) as always — thanks.
I’m glad I can come here and get a little dose of baby while we are waiting so anxiously to meet our new granddaughter! Blessings to all of you!
That is so sweet, and what an adorable baby! Ours was just born this morning and I can’t wait to see how he grows each day.
How wonderful to see her heart grow to accommodate her growing world. 🙂
She is so adorable. Enjoy your time with your little one.
Yes, our children can make our world upside down in a very good way. Enjoy a lot this discovery phase, Monet. Time goes by so fast. I though I’d never miss those years but I do — a lot!
Your baby daughter is so beautiful… Her smile lights up the room.
…yeah, once they are there…you think how could your world could ever be without them! Nice that you can start catching up on your sleep now…

She is adorable! Your post reminded me how time goes by so so quickly!
