Happy Fourth of July

Today is the 4th of July! (In the second picture her shirt says Little Firecracker- but her belly ate most of the shirt so you can't really see it) Yesterday was Lucy's 7 month birthday. I cannot believe that I have a 7 month old. Her latest and greatest accomplishment in the motor skills department is that she has mastered sitting in every way. She can sit alone and move in and out of sitting from a crawling position all by herself. I was pretty surprised the first time I saw her move her self from hands and knees to sitting! Crawling is still more what I would call scooting, but she's pretty good at it and can fairly rapidly get herself into trouble these days. For example- I have always thought to myself- why do we need outlet covers? Why would a baby be interested in a boring old outlet. Well, I'm still not sure what the draw is but little fingers go straight for the closest one- and if there happens to be something plugged in with a cord to chew- even better! Other notable events from the week- Mom and Pop went on their first date since Lucy showed up. You can see a picture of Lucy with her babysitter for the evening. Trish is a co-worker of Wes's and she took great care of Lucy while we wined and dined. It was so nice to be a person outside of work and mommyhood for a couple of hours. But it was also nice to scoop Lucy up and snuggle her at the end of the evening. Now Lucy would like to type a few of her thoughts: njkkjflklkk ify vuuuiklkl,knio8 . She hunts and pecks - we need to work on her typing skills

Happy 4th Little Family! Lucy, Uncle Lanko and Aunt Krs10 are very proud of your sitting skills. Now we just have to teach you to lean back and prop your feet up!

Congratulations on your date, WL and Allison. We miss you and hope to get to see the family one of these days.
