Then and Now

Then:

If you are lucky enough to live in Georgia then you can be lucky enough to have Diana Toone photograph your newborn. She is amazing (as you can see). She spent over four hours with Lucy and was so sweet and gentle with our newborn. She was absolutely wonderful and we loved every single picture she took....every single one.

Now:

I'm not exaggerating when I say Lucy is happy 99% of the time.

Check out those chubba-licious cheeks!! We're in love.

Lucy Rolls Over

Let it be documented that on this day, February 10, 2011 (just two days shy of 3 months old), Lucy rolled over (from her back to her tummy) all by herself. Let it also be known that I missed the momentous occasion because I was on the phone with poison control learning what to do after your daughter decides to eat/lick/swallow hand sanitizer. (The solution: wipe out their mouth and then let her eat lots of cookies and juice).

Luckily, Lucy performed her new trick again and again as the day went on.

Movie of said trick to come.

My Husband is So Awesome

My husband is so awesome that last week when we were flying back from California he gave me his upgraded ticket in First Class and he sat in coach with the two girls. My husband is so amazing that even after his paternity leave ended, he still got up to help with Lucy's 2 AM feedings (which, hooray, have just ended as she has been sleeping through the night for a whole week now!!). My husband is so incredible that as soon as he walks in the door each night he takes Abigail and has some good rough-housing fun with her and gives me a little break. My husband is so nice that he gave me a back massage with his massager that I gave him for Christmas...even before I had a chance to give him a massage. My husband is so wonderful that he washes all of Lucy's bottles most nights of the week, even though they have a million pieces to them. My husband is so sweet that last fall he took a whole day off to spend with Abigail just so I could have a whole day to myself to work on projects. My husband is so dedicatedthat he goes above and beyond in his calling as 11 Year Old Scout Leader and does so many things for those young boys. My husband is so talented that he completed our whole travertine tile kitchen back splash on his own. I truly have a wonderful and amazing husband and just love being in love with him.

Happy Happy Birthday Tyler!!

Captured

What seems like a long time ago (but was only just a few months ago), I had the urge to try to "capture" life, or the moments that made up life, before Lucy joined us. We can't ever ever ever imagine life without Lucy, but I did want something to help us remember when it was just Abigail and I spending our days together.
