2011

IMG_2916Lucy (10 months)

…is full of joy and is ready with a smile for everyone she meets.  It takes twice as long to go shopping with her because everyone wants to stop and visit with her.  I hope she always has this gift of bringing joy to others! 

…loves to eat.  Bananas are a favorite, but she will eat just about anything that we offer her.  She even tried to eat the stinkbug Henry handed her the other day.  She is a pro at drinking from her sippy cups. 

…has been army crawling since she was five months old.  She is very fast and has little interest in crawling on her knees.  She is cruising around the furniture and climbing the stairs on her own.  She will probably start trying to walk soon. 

…has found her voice, and it is loud (but cute).  She can say “mama” and “dada” and can mimic a lot of sounds.  The only word I’ve heard her say on her own is “duck.”  (she loves ducks)  She can also make rocket sounds, with the “blast-off” motion and everything.  Yes, Daddy is proud. 

…loves her big brother.  She wants to do everything he does.  No one can make her laugh like Henry can!

Goals for this year: walk, talk, and learn to climb down the stairs so Mommy can stop worrying

…is full of life.  He is a whirlwind of energy, is strong-willed, and curious about everything he sees.  We have a hard time keeping up with him, yet alone staying one step ahead.  His favorite character is Curious George, mostly because they are so much alike. 

…can be very sweet.  He loves to be held by Mommy and Daddy and is always asking for us to sit and read with him.  He loves his baby sister and gives her hugs every day. 

…loves trucks, trains, rockets, cars… basically anything that moves.  He also loves puzzles and will often sit and work puzzles (repeatedly) for long stretches of time.  He can often be found singing songs and he knows most of his letters and his colors. 

…is very interested in church, but has a hard time sitting quietly, so taking him to Mass is a challenge.  He is heartbroken if he does not get to go with us.  He loves to sing “Glory to God in the Highest.”

…is definitely TWO.  When he doesn’t get his way (which is often), his tantrums are fast and furious.  But when he is happy, it is hard not to laugh with him. 

Goals for this year: potty training, learning some patience, and sharing with his sister
