Happy Easter!

Another first has passed and this sweet little one is getting closer and closer to being a year old! I can't believe in only 2 months she will be 1. Easter day wasn't great for her considering she missed her morning nap for church (made for a mad baby), then crawled off the bed and landed on the floor (made for an even madder baby). But the weekend was fun and she got to hunt for eggs...next year will be more exciting for her.

newest trick

Just this week, Lucy Neal has started standing by herself for a few seconds at a time. She will start off holding on to something, then just let go and stand there. After awhile she will realize what's going on and fall down. This must be one of the first signs of walking (scary!), though she has no desire to walk just yet.

roadtrip to daphne

This weekend, Lucy Neal and I went to visit Kyle's parents in Daphne, AL. We went to an arts and crafts festival in Fairhope, where she enjoyed riding in her stroller and people watching. She charmed everyone everywhere we went they all thought she was adorable. A fun trip...but taking a 10 month old on a trip by yourself is easier said than done!

so lucy neal had been waking up in the middle of the night all weekend crying with a low grade fever. we figured it was teething but just to be safe kyle took her to the dr. yesterday. turns out she has a terrible ear infection. she got a rocephin shot and i wasn't even able to be there to comfort her! she seems to be feeling better and she played last night. here is the outfit i made her out of some cute monkey fabric.

Catching Up

It's been a few weeks since I've had a chance to post, so here is a recap. 2 weekends ago Lucy Neal had the stomach virus...not fun for anyone involved. The good news is she recovered quickly and we have had a fun few weeks. She has learned how to wave, though not at the appropriate times. She's eating just about any table food you give her, and refuses baby food. Her favorite is YoBaby yogurt. She is crawling all over the place, and pulling up like a champ but still no teeth. She also has learned how to give kisses...and what sweet kisses they are! Here is some footage of the past few weeks.
