Happy V-day! Its Lacy's last 1st holiday...










Happy Valentine's Day! It is officially Lacy's last 1st holiday (she has her first easter when she was exactly 1 week old!) and I just can't believe it. I always try to make it a big deal on her 1st's. It is sad that this is the last but it is great to see her growing and learning. Lacy got to wear her cute pink shirt we got her specifically for today and she got a card and a chocolate reese's heart from Daddy and a valentine's day book from Mommy. She also kind of helped me make a cad for her Daddy- she colored it.
Jason and decided to have a low-key day at home this year. 1- because we have Lacy now 2- because we are saving our money 3- because we have been so darn busy 4- because we have been so stinking sick and 5- because we can! I got Jason some chocolates, cards and an I.O.U for a favorite meal of his choice- dessert included. Jason got me a big bouquet of flowers that came today with a balloon and he also got me a card, a cute little teddy bear that has a picture frame with our picture in it and a box of chocolates- perfect!! He always know just what to get- unlike me! He is such a wonderful husband, daddy and supporter! I don't know what I would do without him. I am still so excited when he walks in the door every night! This is our 4th v-day together and we are still sooo in love! I love you babe!!

Headed to blockbuster with Mama and Dada...

Lacy is 11 months old!












Well, Lacy turned 11 months on thursday the 11th and I am just getting around to posting the pictures I managed to take that day. It has been a pretty rough week for us and a lot of our family- this stinking stomach virus is kicking all of our butts! Jason missed a day of work and I missed three days of school. Lacy has had it going on 7 days now. The diarrhea is sooooo bad. She looks so sick but some how we have managed to keep her from getting dehydrated completely. She is not really eating but will drink bottles and pedialyte. It has been soooo exhausting. My poor little one was sick when we took all of her 11 month pics! She is doing a little better today but has been throwing up some today and is just so cranky. I think she is just so tired of feeling so crappy and being forced to eat bananas and other starchy blan foods.
On a lighter note, Jason and I are still amazed every single day with Lacy and the new things she learns...
Words Lacy can say:
*Dada
*Mama
*Bye bye
*Ba Ba (bottle)
*Baby (the cutest one!)
*no no
*book
*jump (sounds more like jumpa jumpa)
Things Lacy loves:
*Reading books
*Elmo and seasame street
*wiggles (still!)
*'lil crunchies (still)
*blueberry muffins
*strawberry or blueberry cereal bars
*peas, broccoli and green beans (I know, its crazy!)
*strawberries!
*pasta
*cookies (yes, occasionally we give her cookies!)
*cuddling with her Mommy
*playing with her Daddy
*sleeping in her crib (something I thought would never happen!)
*PACIFIERS!! She goes to bed with at least two so she can switch them out and if she finds them around the house they are always in her mouth.

She already basically has 8 teeth!! She just about got 4 of them in the last two weeks which is probably contributing to the crankiness! She is still 27-28in. tall (we just measured her) and the last time I weighed her she was around 17 lbs. She has lost a little weight this week from being sick. She recently started dancing and bobbing her head- it is really cute. She loves to sing songs and do all the hand motions! She is usually always walking. Jason just pointed out how it is neat to see that now when she falls she doesn't just start crawling, she actually gets up and starts walking again. This qualifies as a true walker I would say! oh, and my sweet baby is almost 1!! How did that happen?!
