Baby

Our Lucy is such a baby! She is all chubbiness and smiles. Lucy can sit up all by herself, eat solid food, and even blows raspberries on our necks. She started clapping a little and says "dadada" and "mumum" and "buh buh buh." You'd think a baby never babbled before the way Alan and I are proud of her when she does that.

I wanted to post some pictures (there are hundreds to choose from, trust me) but my computer is being dumb and won't let me upload pictures or even make hyper links on this blog (any advice Chad?). Hopefully I will have some up soon.

She is napping with her Dad right now; they were both up late last night due to teething pain (Lucy was teething, not Alan). Alan is a good nighttime parent. When I am too tired to think straight Alan is walking around with Lucy, hushing her back to sleep.

We are very sleepy these days and very happy.

We heard many a comment when I was pregnant about how soon we were having a baby, questions like "Was this a planned pregnancy?" from virtual strangers. If I was indignant then, now all I can say is they can stick it where the sun don't shine. Lucy is the greatest little person I've ever met; shame on people who make others (especially new moms) doubt the joy and blessing of being a parent.

Pictures will be up soon, I promise.
