Lucy is 1!!!

I can't believe my baby is a year old. That went by way too fast. What a crazy but fabulous year. It always amazes me to see how much a child grows in just a year. When Lucy was born I thought that for some reason with Savannah having such a huge personality Lucy would be calm and more of an introvert. However, this was not the case. Lucy is just as full of life as Savannah, yet so different. She knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it she will let you know how she feels about it. In other words she is as stubborn as they come. I love this about her. She is so full of laughter and loves to play in pillows and blankets, copy her sister, have yelling wars with Savannah, taking tubs, and swimming. Yesterday I took the girls swimming and Lucy was fearless. She would throw herself off the step into the water. Trying to let her gain some fear of the water I would let her stay in for a little bit, pick her up, and after a few nervous breaths would plunge in once again. I suppose I will be watching her a little more closely. There is so much about this girl that I love- I am so grateful to be her mom!

"I looked on child-rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring it." - Rose Kennedy
