Lucy is officially 1

Today we went to the doctor for Lucy's one year old check up and we found out that she weighs 20 lbs. and is 28 in. long. This means she is in the 25 percentile for height and 25-50 percentile for weight. She is crawling around and walks around things, but right now doesn't want to walk all by herself. Lucy has started talking a little bit, and loves to ask the question "What's that?" or "Who's that?" Sometimes when you ask her what a dog says she starts to pant. Her newest trick is making funny noises. Here is video of one of her tricks:




Last night she wanted to walk while Brett held her fingers so he sat in our chair and walked her in a circle it was very funny:





Avery has been growing up very quickly as well. She thinks that she can do things all by herself and does not need help. Right now we are really into princesses, movies, coloring, and popcorn. After Lucy's 1st birthday party Brett and I took her to see the movie UP and she enjoyed seeing the big movie. Lately she has really been into making up stories and songs. She has a great imagination and each day I learn something new. Brett and I are also realize that there are no secrets anymore because she tells everyone everything.
Other than those things we haven't really been up to much. Brett and I have just been working, but I am enjoying being home with them every other day. This last weekend we went to the Pumpkin Patch with Todd and Mandy and had a great time. I put up some pictures from that sI hope that you enjoy, and are all looking forward to Halloween as much as we are.

Your Sins Will Find You Out

For those of you who don't know my grandma has always said, "Your sins will found you out." It was true for my dad and for myself, and as of today it is true for Avery. So here is the story: Today I went to upload all of the pictures off of my camera and it said that I had 102 pictures and videos, and I definitely don't remember taking that many. As I looked through them I found that I have a little 3 year old who likes to take pictures so here are some of the things that she took pictures of. Now don't think that she is unattended because when she is taking the pictures Brett is getting ready for work and she is suppose to be eating breakfast, but here is what is really happening.

Of the total 102 I took 12 and she took the rest.

Here is some footage of her excursion that she took. The first one is 3:08 but if you skip until the last 10 seconds you will see whose face appears; for those of you who say she would never do something like this.

Lucy's 1st Birthday Party

This weekend we celebrated Lucy's 1st Birthday Party. It was very fun watching her eat cake and watching her learn how to open presents since this was her first experience. As you will see there are a lot of pictures, but I narrowed it down from the 258 that Brett took. Hope that you enjoy them.

October

We hope that you are all doing well. Right now we are getting ready for Lucy's 1st birthday and Halloween. I will get those pictures up soon, but right now I thought I would get some pictures off of Brett's camera. When I was getting them off I found pictures from our niece Annie's birthday, and then some pictures from Mema's 80th birthday party. I will update you all on what we are up to in the next post, but enjoy these pictures for now.

Avery Drawing

Today Lucy decided that she wanted to take a nap this morning so I let her, and then Avery decided that she wanted to draw on the chalkboard wall. I made Avery explain her drawings, and then she helped me take the pictures of her favorite pieces. Hope that all enjoy.

This is a picture of me. It was beautiful and then she realized that she had not drawn my hair and so you can't see how great it was.
