A local Brooks photography student that we met at church asked us if she could take pictures of Lucy for her project. She dropped them bye today – what a fox, huh?! 🙂

And yet most of what Lucy says is quite incomprehensible! But her current vocab includes:

Hi! (Hi!)
Kah (car)
Bah (bah-bah – sippy cup)
Daa (Dad)
Pop (Poppa)
Shhh (Shoes)
Chhhh (Cheese)
Meow (her shoes with kitties on them)
Nana (banana)
Ppppooo (Pooh bear)

No, she doesn’t really say Momma. I’m not sure whether to have hurt feelings or not. 🙂 When you ask her, “where’s Lucy?” she jams her thumb repeatedly into her chest. When you ask, “where’s Momma?” she does the same thing! Maybe she hasn’t realized we’re two different people yet. She’s also getting quite good at pointing at her eyes, hair, ears, toes, fingers, etc on command. Such fun!

Two weeks ago I won a radio contest (yea!) for 2 tickets to Hurricane Harbor in Valencia. We went yesterday and had a super good time. Mom-in-law kept the baby (SO helpful) and we brought a buddy of Max’s, Christopher, to double the fun. The park wasn’t crowded, the weather was nice, and the boys were very excited to be there. Christopher’s added bravery really helped when Max was feeling timid about a particular ride. Peer pressure!

Afterwards we went to Jan and Jeff’s for Emily’s 3rd birthday party. Great time with family and friends. Then Lucy fell right on her face and cut her upper lip and gums. Man, what a bleeder! It took so long, through the screaming and the blood, to figure out that she had not lost a tooth or anything. Thank you God. (She’s ok today.) Such a day!
