A few Milestones!
We have a few new milestones to report...
Lucy can now pull herself up! (12.13.09) Once she's up she seems to be confused/scared on what she is suppose to do, but I know it is only a matter of time before she is on the move!
And today, December 15th, Lucy's first tooth came in! (Or a tiny bit started to!) She's almost 8 months, so she was due, but I kept thinking she would start to drool or fuss when it was about to pop through. She proved me wrong - NOTHING! Not one drop of drool. (and not fussy either) Hopefully, the rest of her teeth are just as easy!
I'm a little sad to see the toothless smile disappear, but I know it has to happen! She is so fun right now! I can't wait to see her personality develop as she becomes more of a toddler!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!
I've been pretty busy the last few weeks, shopping for Christmas (which is not as easy with a baby), some work projects (my favorite co-worker left last week! ::tear::), Christmas parties, Christmas cards...the list goes on an on...but we have been enjoying every minute with Lucy. She is getting such a fun personality.
Here are a few things she's been up to...
I decided to enroll her in a 4-class swim session at the Peoria Riverplex. They have a really awesome facility and a warm water pool for the baby class! (it is basically bath water - I think last class it was 96 degrees!) Anyhow, other than the fact I have to get myself in a swimsuit in December - it is going great! Lucy loves all the fun songs we sing and is really getting into splashing in the water. We have been working on counting to 3 and then sprinkling water on her head during bathtime - which is suppose to "train" them to hold their breath. She has been a pro at it so the teacher thought she was ready for a dip in the pool (head underwater and all). She did great!
And how cute is she in her little swimsuit! :)
Lucy has seen Santa three times this season. The first time was at the beginning of November at the Holiday Walk I planned for work. Santa didn't even phase her...
The second time we saw Santa we were at the mall and apparently Santa didn't have anyone to talk to so he was soliciting children to take pictures outside. I of course had my camera on hand so we took a quick snapshot. She did okay, but wasn't super excited to see him.
The last time was last week at a Storytime with Santa at my work again. Needless to say, Lucy's shirt lies. She does NOT love Santa! :)

She's up!
Last night as Marcus and I were putting up our Christmas tree Lucy was on the floor playing with ornaments. Apparently, she decided the ornaments weren't that fun (at least not the ones we gave her to play with) so she decided to show off a bit.
Good thing I had the camera with me!
Next up...crawling!

Thanksgiving
I know I am behind with blogging and photos (I'm sorry), but that is what this time of year brings right? Here are a few photos from Thanksgiving. We were in Decatur for Thanksgiving Day and then a few days later back in Peoria for the Elasser/Rapp Thanksgiving!
6 month photos
I have some great 6 months photos from my dear friend Makaya, but some of them are going on Christmas Cards, so you'll have to wait for that post. Here are a few pictures that I got taken at the local Portrait Innovations. I wanted to get a couple pictures of her with all her cute chubs, and with the weather, it wasn't going to happen outside, so Portrait Innovations was the only option. I thought they actually turned out pretty cute.
