Winnie the Pooh Time

I wish that I had the technological capabilities to take these two videos and piece them together into one, taking out the not so interesting parts. But I don't, so here they both are. Lucy's favorite thing to watch on our computer is the Heffalumps and Woozles song on youtube. These are two separate videos of how happy she gets when she watches it. With the second one, you only really need to watch the first 45 seconds because she calms down after that, but I thought her reaction was so hysterical when I started to play the video!

Photo Shoot

I already uploaded these to facebook, but since there are a few people (read: adoring fans of Lucy) that don't have facebook yet I thought I'd post them here. KeriAnn (see previous post) is a fantastic photographer. She took these pictures with her awesome camera a few days ago and I just can't get enough of them!

Grow baby grow!

Lucy had her four-month doctor's appointment/shots on Tuesday, I can't believe she's already that old! She's 25.5 inches long and weighs 15 pounds 6 oz. That puts her in the 88th percentile for height and the 84th for weight. From the picture above you might guess that a large majority of that weight resides in her cheeks. They're about as kissable as cheeks come.
She's developing right on track and we're so grateful for that. She can now roll over, although she doesn't do it very often yet. She loves to grab at anything within grabbing distance (a fact I discovered when trying to take a sip of coffee while holding her). She loves listening to us sing to her and babbles away when she's really happy. God has blessed us so much with our beautiful Lucy Rose!

PS I did have a home decor post planned, but my computer has decided it no longer recognizes my camera and won't upload any pictures. The picture above was taken by my friend and amazing photographer KeriAnn. Someday I will post pics again!

Baby Legs

I get a daily email from Babysteals that lists one item per day at a reduced price. I've never actually bought anything from them before, but when I saw their email on Friday for babylegs, I just had to!

I've wanted to get Lucy a pair of babylegs before, but at full price they were just too expensive. The ones I got from Babysteals were only $20 for a set of four, so I went ahead and bought them.

They came in yesterday, and they're adorable!

!

Lucy has, shall we say, a somewhat round stomach, and I always feel bad putting pants on her, even stretch pants, the elastic can be pretty tight. These little legwarmers go up all the way to her diaper if I want them too, but the elastic is around her thighs rather than her stomach.

This, incidentally, is one of Lucy's favorite new perches. She can watch the Heffalumps and Woozles song on our computer from that spot, like she's doing in this pic:

Sometimes, if she's feeling particularly fancy, she sits on her bumbo on the couch.

Anyway, I'd highly recommend babylegs. They're good quality leg-warmers, and oh-so-cute!

Lucy's New Favorite Toy

Our friends the Becks loaned us their jumping toy, and the very first time I put Lucy in it she gave me this huge grin and began bouncing up and down ecstatically. Sorry for the poor picture/sound quality on this video, I'm not sure what happened! But as you can tell Lucy is giving shrieks of joy while she's bouncing. It's adorable. And I love this toy because I can move it all around the house with me so wherever I need to be (fixing dinner, doing my hair) she's entertained. A win-win toy!

And a big congrats to our dear friends who had a little baby girl yesterday and named her Lucy Adele! Naturally we think it's a terrific name, and we're really hoping that in the future we'll live in the same town so the two Lucys can grow up being fast friends. Way to go Morgan and Brian!!

The Great Apartment Tour

Alright folks, here I am finally posting pictures of the inside of our apartment! Keep in mind that we have not collected all the pieces of furniture or hung all the artwork, but we're very happy with how things are coming together.

Here's a pic of our front door. The door you see to the left is the nursery. Behind me is our dining room:

Nursery:

I should point out that Lucy's room has a walk-in closet. SO not fair.

And a shot from in the nursery down the hall. Down at the very end is the master bedroom:

Dining room/breakfast area:

Here's a shot from inside the living room looking through the galley kitchen to the dining room. Sorry for the weird lighting!

Kitchen:

Living Room:

Our computer desk is in our living room right now. Still need to buy a chair but for now we're using a kitchen chair.

A shot from the living room into the hallway. My lovely assistant in the Johnny Jump-Up is in front of the guest bathroom. The door to the left is a linen closet and beyond that is the Master bedroom:

Here's the master bath:

And master bedroom!

We bought a new dressser from Ikea since ours broke shortly before the move. And we love it! Highly recommended:

Pheww! THat was a lot of pictures. But we're just thrilled with this place and feel very blessed to have found it since we only had a few days to apartment-shop.
