And here she is, one year later!
What a year this has been. Lucy has brought us so much joy this year, and continues to do so every day. Parenting is really hard work, for sure, but also a great delight. It's hard to believe that just a year ago Lucy was just learning to nurse and mostly laid there and flailed, and now she's a little person with likes (shoelaces, climbing stairs, listening to music/dancing, exploring, cruising on furniture, banging things to make noise, bread, cheese), and dislikes (being buckled into her carseat, naptime, being told "no", most vegetables) who can do so much! Most recently she's started waving bye-bye to people, waving her hands around when she hears music, and making the "all done" sign when she's finished with her meal. She also is very good at batting my hand away when I try to give her food that she doesn't want. :)
Here's a little poem to celebrate today:
Lucia, our precious little light,
You bring us such great delight.
What did we do before you were here?
We can't remember, but one thing is clear,
We have so much fun with our little one
And our adventure together has just begun.

happy birthday, Lucy!
What did we do before you were born?
This was asked by Elizabeth and Matt.
“We can’t remember” they say at night, noon and morn
We’re too tired to reflect and think and all that.
Up through the night, though better these days
Keeps Matt & Elizabeth’s bedtime lacking in many ways
Then Lucy crawled and began to creep
And now to walk and soon to leap
Toys get scattered, food gets flung
The house gets messy, clothes are not hung
“Where is Lucy now?” pulls Matt out of his books
“I thought she was with you” says Elizabeth as she looks
How has life changed? A question deep
Life sure looks different when you say goodbye to sleep.
