Happy New Year

Maybe one day during this New Year we will break down & get internet but for now, our phones will have to do & since I've been Jonesin' to blog about our sweet girl, a phone-post will have to do for now.

We had a great Christmas & were able to see both sides of our families, making a trip to Utah first & then to Montana. Let's just say I could go a couple years without flying & be happy (granted everyone else would have to fly to see us...I don't think I could go that long without seeing our families). We flew 3 times in 10 days. Lucy & I survived the flights home without our daddy but it was pretty stressfl alone & I would much rather have his help the next time we fly anywhere.

Lucy had her 6month appointment yesterday & our little lady has definitely slowed her growth, but is "proportional" & overall "just a big kid," according to our ped, Dr. H. We love him! I am so grateful we were pointed in his direction when we moved here. I don't know if I have posted all of Lucy's stats (not that any of you really care) but its amazing to me how big she has gotten as fast as she has.

*1 month*
Weight: 10lbs 8oz
Length: 22.5in

*2 month*
Weight: 13lbs
Length: 24in

*4 month*
Weight: 17lbs 2oz
Length: 27in

*6 month*
Weight: 19lb 11oz
Length: 27.5in (I think he didn't measure correctly..its hard for me to believe that although her growth has slowed, she's only grown .5" in the past 2 months)

Babies are amazing! Miss Lucy is sitting on her own for the most part & stays that way unless there is a toy out of her reach or she gets tired & flops backward. We started solids a month ago & I surprisingly enjoy making her food, although I am starting to enjoy cloth diapering less now. Its more of a chore now that she has started solids. Before I could just toss in the wash. Now I have to scrape the you-know-what in the toilet after diaper changes. Its gross. Like, really gross. I think about quitting almost every time, but then I imagine spending money on diapers every other week (or whenever) & how much money I have spend on our cloth thus far & I just keep scraping.

Layne's job is going well & we will be here for at least 11 more months, if not longer. I am hoping for longer. We have made friends & I really do love our ward here. Plus, I love my Ob & Lucy's Ped & can't imagine ever finding anyone that compares when the day comes that we have to move again.

Let's see...I got a haircut & lost 5lbs during the holidays (not sure how that happened). Other than that, I'm just the same 'ole me.

Hope everyone enjoyed this past holiday season!
