Rolling

Last night I awoke to see the top of Lucy's head on our video baby monitor rather than her cute face. She rolled over in the middle of the night onto her belly. This isn't the first time she's rolled over, it's just the first time she did it in her crib while sleeping peacefully. Thinking that she was going to suffocate, I went in to roll her back over onto her back. She didn't like this very much. I woke her up out of a deep sleep and she started wailing. The rest of the night went like this: she'd settle down, start to fall asleep, then roll over onto her belly and start screaming. Mom or Dad would go in, settle her down, she'd start to fall asleep, roll over onto her belly.... It was a long night.
The same happened during her nap times today. I had to keep going in to flip her onto her back because she would cry every time she flipped onto her tummy.
Between naps today, I tried to coax her into showing me her new trick while Galen was at work. But she wouldn't roll over for me. Apparently she was content to lay on her back. Until Galen came home.
All it takes is the ABC song, sung by Daddy. Three times he sang the song to her and three times she rolled over towards him.

Lucy's new talent

Last week, Lucy started blowing bubbles or raspberries. This first video is of her early attempts. on Saturday. Notice how hard she's concentrating, trying to figure out how to make such a funny sound. She ended up just spitting more than anything else.




The second video was taken yesterday, Wednesday. After only a few days, Lucy has become much more proficient. It's not quite as much spit and more sound. Notice how she's blowing bubbles on cue, too. Oh, and she just started loving this bouncer. Whenever anyone holds her on their lap, all she wants to do it bounce. So this bouncy seat is just perfect. I'm convinced she's going to skip sitting up and crawling and move right to standing and running.

Random pics

Lucy had her 4 month old appointment with the doctor today. She is 13 pounds 11 ounces (50th percentile) and 26.25 inches long (100th percentile). Yay! She slept through the night for the first time on Monday night. 7:30 pm to 7:00 am. Of course, that didn't mean I really got any more sleep. I kept waking up and wondering if she was ok, when was she going to wake up... But, she hasn't slept through the night since. She usually sleeps from 7pm to 4ish in the morning. After a few ounces of formula she goes right back to sleep. Thank goodness.

This is Lucy's favorite pose now. At any given moment you can catch her trying to suck on her toes or taking off her socks in order to suck on her toes.


Whenever we go to the beach on the weekend, we are prepared. Lucy naps in her big stroller with her "friends" hanging above her and the sound of ocean waves playing through the little white speakers you can see on the right side of the picture.


I just love bath pictures. She's looking up at Galen.


We took Lucy to Hemet for the first time last weekend. We had a great visit with Grandpa Jim and Barbara. Patrick and Jolene shared their AWESOME news with us: Lucy will soon have another cousin to play with. Uncle Patrick and Aunt Jolene are expecting their first bundle of joy in November. Hooray!!!!

Here is grandma Cha-chu reading to Lucy at Aunt Rocky's house. We girls had a nice visit while Uncle Stan and Galen played golf.

I love these pictures so much. We were walking through the monkey exhibits. It was so beautiful under the trees.




The family

The last batch from Gayle

These two were the least drooly of the shots. In some of the pictures she had multiple strands hanging from her mouth. Gross.




I love the second shot here the best. She looks so angelic. Of course there are no shots of Lucy when she's shrieking.
