Things here in baby land have been great lately. Lucy has been getting more nap time in during the day and mama is feeling much less stressed. Even when all she takes is a twenty minute nap, I feel relieved. Twenty minutes is really all I need to catch my breath and reassure myself that I can do it. I must say, these funny little creatures sure do keep you on your toes.

Every day I see changes in Lucy. She is growing so quickly, mentally and physically. Today we went for a walk around a lake and afterwards spent some time looking at ducks. She was fascinated by them. I loved seeing her eyes light up as she watched them waddle about. She even tried talking to them in her sweet little baby babble.

Her mid section is getting quite strong and she can sit up for a second or two now before she tips over. A week or two ago she wasn’t able to sit up at all without support. If I let go of her arms she would just slump over.

Silly girl. She sure is special.
