Lucy the Fiesty One

Yesterday I was playing blocks with Theodore and Lucy wanted to get at them and knock them over. That is all- a strong, deep desire to knock over the blocks. I prevented her by holding her back, moving her away, and putting up my legs as a barrier. Oh, she was angry and threw herself on the floor to weep and sob. After several attempts to get through my mommy barrier, she resigned herself to walking slowly into the kitchen, arms outstretched in defeat, crying as mournfully as possible as if you say, "is there anyone who loves me?"

Well, of course I picked her up and sure enough, as I went back to the blocks, Theodore instantly knocked them all over himself.

Lucy is WALKING

Here is a photo of Lucy on the go. Her walking switch when on Wednesday, March 4 and she is getting better everyday. She is very proud of herself and shakes when she improves. She also loves all soft things, so we have a picture of her cuddling.
Finally, Jon and the kids are cuddling up on the couch in typical fashion.

Theodore and Lucy Stories

Theodore: Jon took the kids to feed the geese at the park. After Theodore fed the geese some crackers, they started to walk away in a row. Jon said, "look, they are in a parade". Theodore said very quietly to himself, "but where are their instruments?"

Lucy: She loves her stuffed hippo and penguin and snuggles with them often by crawling up to them at a rapid pace and throwing her head into their tummies. Then she relaxes with them for a while. She is free standing more and more and more and once balanced, she can go up to 4 steps before she falls over. Poor Gooberlicious.
