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! :)
