Lucy is 11 months!

My baby is almost one! Lilly described Lucy as: cute;smart; and brave.  Those are excellent descriptions.  Lucy is much like her Uncle Oliver in that she likes to roam as she pleases without people getting in her way and she likes to explore everything she can find.  She usually comes back for meals and the occasional hug to make sure we're still there.

She is just starting to get her first teeth, late bloomer, and she sleeps 12-13 hours a night. However, her day time sleep is sporadic at best. She is my best eater.  Today for lunch she ate 1.5 bananas and an entire tortilla and some baby puffs.  I'm pretty sure that's more than Jack ate last week. She also loves greek yogurt, and will eat an entire adult portion in one sitting.  The only food she has not liked is avocado and chicken.  She loves pasta and pretty much everything we eat.  In fact if we're eating something that she is not, she will yell and let herself be known that she would like to share as well.

(Lucy's eyes are THAT blue and Lilly's cheeks and lips are THAT pink.)

I have heard people claim that their baby can say words and I never believed them. Until now.  Lucy makes a lot of sounds that sound just like words.  Words we have believed her to say are: Dada, Mama, bye, hi, Jack. We will say that her first word is Dada.

She sucks her thumb when she is tired or needs to console herself and is always on the go.  I miss the days when she would let me cuddle her, although sometimes I can put my cheek on her cheek and she will let me stay there for a few seconds. She has adorable fat rolls and it looks like she has rubber bands around her wrists, which is just about the cutest thing you have ever seen. Her eyes are the bluest eyes I have ever seen. She loves to wave and clap and is such a happy girl.  We pretty much love her to pieces.
