my dad has been out of town all week. when he got back, he brought flowers for lucy. i asked him if they were a late birthday sentiment...

he said: "no..i just missed her"

i mainly got this toy for lucy because of the color scheme. i just love it.

you cant really tell in this picture..because i took it for that little guy poking out. hes just so cute!

but..believe you me..they made beautiful color choices!!

lucy figured out exactly how this thing works today!

i love her music.


march 10 2009

bye bye bottles!

lucys dr told her to get off the bottle and today was day one of operation bottle drop.

i have mixed feelings. clearly, this is essential to her growing up. but thats the part im unsure of. her growing up :(

its so strange to see all these things from the parent side.

this...was my favorite favorite berenstain bear book.

i loved all the drawings of the candy at the grocery store. something about the way they were drawn and the colors they chose. i dont know. i just really really loved it.

i ran into this book tonite at the grocery...for 3 dollars. and. it was the only copy! im so happy i have this book again.

march 7 2009

march 7th is my favorite day. its the day lucy was born. all day today ive been watching the clock and thinking about exactly where i was last year at exactly that time of the day. what i was thinking, what i was feeling...just remembering the whole experience.

i dont think i remember any event as clearly as i remember her birthday. which is weird. because i was on a lot of drugs :] but. i can tell you my thoughts at almost any given time of the day..probably because that was, hands down, the scariest and most exciting day of my entire life. and will remain that forever. not that i wont be excited when i have more children. but this was the first. and i was alone. well..alone as her parent. and i knew that i would always be alone as her only real, true parent.

saying that she changed my life is an understatement. she brought me into an entirely new one.

all that to say..i took this picture because...she was in a tutu this morning. dancing. and i couldnt help but look at her little feet and just be so thankful that she is such a happy, loving little girl. who just dances and sings to herself all day long. it makes me feel so much better about decisions i made for her before she was born. shes just...happy. and she makes everyone she comes into contact with happy, too. ..her name does mean bringer of light :]

i think shes set up for some pretty heartbreaking realizations later in life on top of the default disappointments that come with life in general. i pray she always has a tutu to dance with.
