Week 3


Crazy hair just like Avery's was!

Sisterly secrets already

Lucy girl is growing up fast! She continues to eat and sleep as she should and even slept for a 6 hour stretch the other night! Avery is a great big sister- things are going better than I'd even hoped for. She snuggles and loves on Lucy a LOT, and hasn't gotten jealous yet. She takes the breast feeding and Lucy sleeping in our room just fine, and is a great helper fetching the paci, diapers, etc. for me. She loves having Lucy sit next to her in the car, and everywhere she goes she announces that this is her new baby sister Lucy. She tells everyone we see in the hallway at school. She tells the checkout ladies at the grocery. She tells the people taking a walk past our house on the sidewalk. She is VERY proud! She told me yesterday that she had a baby in her belly and that the baby's name was Lucy Two. Ha! I guess she isn't tired of her yet if she's already wanting another one =)
We get a couple of smiles from Lucy, but most of the time she looks very worried. I'm sure she's concerned about when Avery is going to pounce on her next! Where Avery is my never-sit-still-go-go-getter, I can already tell that Lucy is my worrier, my cuddler, and my sleeper!
She does occasionally cry =) This week she crys a LOT louder than last week, I guess she's found that she needs to be loud to make her presence known around here.
Bye!

Week 2

Scott and Carla (Papa and Gigi) came to see Lucy last week! Avery was excited to show off baby sister but really took advantage of the extra attention!

We took Lucy out for a walk and bundled her all up. Thank goodness it's been warmer lately! 

Loving sisters already!

Week 1


Here are some pics of Lucy's 1st week! Big thanks to Nancy and Jim who came to help in anticipation of Miss Lucy's arrival and helped so much with Avery until we got home from the hospital. And thanks to my Mom who came to help the first week while we got settled.

Lucy in her coming home from the hospital outfit- same one I wore home from the hospital 29 years ago!!
 

Me getting ready to bring Lucy home... too bad Dave had the stomach flu and couldn't join us!

I Love Lucy



Little Lucy's doing great! Gotta love the hair bow- only in the South would they stick a pink hair bow on all baby girls in the hospital nursery!


Oh, and here's Avery figure skating while watching the Olympics earlier this week =)

She's Here!

Lucy Ellen Morris was born on Feb 16th at 6:30pm! She weighed 8lbs, was 20.25 inches long, and is healthy and beautiful. I got home from the hospital today and everyone is doing great. Avery is very sweet with her little sister, gives her lots of gentle hugs and kisses, and has already nicknamed her "La La LOU" =) Here are a few pics and videos I thought you might enjoy!

Llama Llama

Avery's favorite book is Llama Llama Misses Mama. She wasn't quite in the mood to be video taped last night, so this is a little rough, but I thought you might get a kick out of her reading. She can actually do a better job than that! She loves going to school, but is a little obsessed about me coming "right back" so I knew she would love this book. Enjoy!
