Happy Birthday Lucy

I can't believe my baby is 1 year old. She brings so much happiness into our lives. I am so grateful everyday that Heavenly Father sent her to our house to live. She used to be a very quiet child and now she has become a screamer. It's a happy loud squeal most of time. I'm not sure if she is learning to be loud from her sister or if screaming is the only way to be heard over her sister.

Last Sunday she was so frustrated trying to crawl in a dress that she picked up the edge of her skirt, put it right in front of her face, and grunted in anger. I had several people from church come up to me in the hall afterward and tell me how funny it was to watch her get so mad at her dress.

Her personality is coming out more and more each day. She is pretty patient with her older sister smothering her with love and trying to wrestle with her. Leland's usual response is "She told me she wants to wrestle." (I am so sure when she learns to talk that is definitely what she is NOT saying.)

She says "Mama" all the time and gets very excited when her Daddy comes home from work.
Lucy loves to crawl onto things to sit: foot stools, LJs little chair, the low bench in our kitchen area. She gets so proud of herself when she accomplishes her goal. If there are pillows on the floor she will lay her head down on them and "cuddle".

Her newest past time is looking at books. I will go in the girl's room and she will have books all around her and will be flipping the pages of one.

Happy Birthday Lulu! We love you!!!
