happy 1/2 year birthday!



I can't believe that 6 months ago [at this very time, actually] Lucy was born. It really feels like there never was a time-before-Lucy. How does it happen that one little person can make such a large impact on your life in such a short time?

It's amazing to see all the changes and developments that have occurred already. Lucy has better than doubled her birth weight [7lb 7oz], has grown at least 6" [though, I think more], and even has her first tooth.

And, her developmental changes are just staggering. When Lucy was first born, she did nothing [Rob refers to this as the blob stage] but eat, sleep, cry, and dirty her diaper — not unlike the old baby alive dolls [for those of you who were kids in the '70s]. Now in addition to the afore mentioned skills, she can smile, hold her own bottle, eat cereal, sit up, coo, scream with joy, giggle, play with her toys, notice/grab for things around the room, roll over, and numerous other subtle things that we all take for granted on a daily basis.

I can't wait to see what the next 6 months will bring — maybe even, a good night's sleep . . .
