Listen, I know that I used these pictures for Lucy's 3 year post six months ago. But I love them so much that I am using them again. So there. They just so perfectly capture her happy little self so well. (#indoorstudiophotosforever)
I love her so much.
I don't have a lot of great stats for her, but I'm excited to write about some of our favorite things about our Lucy Holland right now:
-She loves babies more than any toddler that I know. She takes care of them, tucks them in at night, plays games like "doctor" and "campsite" with them and carries them around with her.
-She always asks "Will you name me 'Little Baby Lucy'" or she will interrupt me when I say her name and say "You mean 'Little Baby Lucy?'"
-She "Never" for not, don't, won't, didn't. "I never did that". "I never want you to do that." "Caleb is never getting his pajamas on."
-She loves when we read books about other "Lucys". She interrupts each time I say the name Lucy and grinning widely she says "That's Lucy like ME!"
-She adores her siblings and they adore her.
-She loves the color purple.
-She sleeps with her tiny baby blanket that Sue and I made for her when she was a baby and refuses to sleep with anything else even though the blanket isn't big enough to cover her all the way. If I sneak in during the night to cover her with a second blanket she will wake up and yell until I take the other blanket off.
-She got glasses, but hasn't really started wearing them yet - so no pictures. I wrote another blog post about that specifically, but overall - she's developing wonderfully and at this point any advantage to her eyesight is going to help her. She's happy about her glasses and I'm happy about her progress.
-She's a Homeschool trooper, she does great tagging along on our field trips and playing quietly (sometimes not quietly) while the kids work on their schoolwork.
-She loves being tickled. She likes to climb on David's back and have him pretend he can't see her.
-She picked a red velvet bunt cake for her half-birthday cake and then told everyone for DAYS that it was her halfbirthday.
-Summer was SO fun for her this year. We hiked a massive amount of hikes. We went swimming often. We camped and kayaked and paraded and altogether just spent a lot of time in the sun. We got better at sunscreen, she kept her hat and glasses on most of the time, and she only got sunburned once the whole summer. I feel amazing about that.
-Along with that, this summer we had a great visit with a dermatologist to create a skincare plan for Lucy. Sometimes I worry that there is more damage being done from the sun, even though she's not getting sunburned - but talking with her skin doctor helped us set good boundaries. It was really freeing to allow her to wear regular swim bottoms instead of making her always swim in a full sunsuit. Mostly, we grew in confidence and skill and we were happy about that.
Some more pictures from the past 6 months.
Happy 3.5 Lucy. We love you!
