Can we say "diaper malfunction"?

DISCLAIMER: There may be some gross pictures of what was supposed to end up in a diaper....but honestly they aren't that gross :D

Okay so lately Lucy has been wetting the bed at night. No we are not potty training yet :) The reason is not that she doesn't wear a diaper (because she does) or that her diaper gets too full. In the morning it's definitely NOT that full....I've seen worse. But for some reason the diapers are leaking! Kind of frustrating, but it's not THAT big of a deal.

Anyways, on to the point of this post... Monday I was getting the diaper bag together because we were going to get Lucy's immunizations. She was sitting on the bed quietly playing with my backpack straps, one of her favorite things to play with, I looked up to see what she was doing and this is what I saw....

Hmmm....what's that between her legs, you ask? Yes, yes it is and YES she was playing with it!! There was no warning. Usually we know when Lucy is filling her diaper, she usually grunts or at least she breathes differently, or you hear it,or something! This time was silent.....SO happy I looked up when I did! :p

Closer view - it may not look like a lot but she was covering quite a bit of it :S

(Don't you love the chubby legs?)

Was she worried or upset about this? No way! She thought it was pretty fun....So we ran into the bathroom, I stood her on the counter to pull off her shorts, which of course were covered, then I looked up in the mirror and lo and behold! I found the source of the problem...

Her bum cheek was hanging out!! I just laughed! This is not the first time we've found her diaper like this and we can't figure out how this happens. (Anyone know how to prevent it?) I took off the diaper and sat her in the sink so I could fold it up...and I found another surprise!

A clean diaper! Aside from the little smudge on the side this diaper could probably pass as new!! What in the world??? How could it only get that little bit on it? I was confuzzled on this one, and still laugh when I think about it.

Sorry for the gross pictures but it had to be documented. This one was just too good :D

Sick...

Lucy has been sick on and off for the last month or so :(. I feel so bad for her. It been mostly stuffy nose and sometimes fevers (actually she's had one really scary fever in the beginning) but thankfully nothing lasts too long or gets too bad. I've actually been very impressed with how happy she is when she's sick. Of course she gets a little more clingy and doesn't like to do as many things but compared to how bad I know it can get, we've got it pretty good! :D So Lucy needs to get her immunizations on Monday and I've been hoping and praying that she would be better by then so that we could get them over with and not have it magnify whatever she does have. But this morning she woke up on fire (not literally) she was really hot, didn't want to play or be put down, she's been eating a lot more frequently and sleeping a lot (which isn't a bad thing). It's so sad to see her sick. One positive thing though is that we get to hold her and cuddle!! She's not a very cuddly baby because she wants to be doing things and going places. In any case, I would rather have her be busy than cuddly because cuddly = sick.

Happy Lucy

Sick Lucy

(Haha, I totally didn't even know she was drooling, that's our little girl)

Progress

Lucy just thinks she is SOO big. Over the last couple of weeks she has learned how to crawl (for reals now) she can sit from crawling position (she just mastered this two days ago) and she has started pulling herself up on anything that she can hold on to. Even though she can pull herself up she doesn't really hold onto whatever it is and so she's taken quite a few falls in the last couple of days. Thankfully none of them have been serious. I kept hoping that when she fell she would learn to be a little more cautious or at least hold on to things but, alas, she is still as fearless as ever. She also thinks she can walk. Not that she lets go of things and tries but whenever she holds on to one of our hands she'll pull herself up and start walking! It's really funny cause she is still very wobbly and her feet still point inward a little bit. So I know she's not really ready to be walking, but she tries anyways and thinks it is SO much fun.

Lucy is now ticklish! Under her arms and her thighs. Her laugh has started to change too! She's starting to sound more like a little kid (or a toddler) and not so much like a little baby.

The Zoo!

Over the Fourth of July holiday weekend we went to the zoo! We've been wanting to take Lucy for a while now and decided that this was probably going to be the best time. I was hoping it wouldn't be too crowded, but boy was I wrong. It was PACKED! We went with Devin's family. Her uncle Ryan had some sunglasses and let Lucy try them on...

I'm sorry to say I didn't get a lot of pictures. I honestly didn't think about the camera for most of the time. I haven't been to a zoo in probably 6 or 7 years. It was fun to see all of the animals! Lucy had a hard time noticing some of them because they were too far back from the path but there were a few that she really enjoyed. We saw some Ostrich's, they were running around and doing funny things with their heads, that was fun and Lucy was very interested. I did get a picture of the giraffe's.

Lucy was mesmerized.

I don't know what was going on with this one, but it just licked the bar the whole time we were there! My favorite part was the bird show. We got so see some really cool birds. It made me miss Puerto Rico and all the birds we had while we lived there. Haha funny story, so on our way to the zoo Lucy messed her pants. We knew she had because she made her face (she always makes the same one :D ) But we what we didn't realize was that she had left us a nice surprise in her seat! Haha, it was great, her auntie megan was adjusting Lucy (she had wriggled herself too far sideways to be comfortable) and while she was helping her straighten our she got a big handful of Lucy poo! Haha, it was great. For some reason we always have a blowout during big or exciting events, we just have to laugh.

Swimming

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted on here. I've been pretty busy with summer term, and trying to get all my classes done. It's amazing how much can happen in one month! Some of the things in these posts might be a little out-dated but it's still fun to talk about :D

We haven't been swimming as much as I thought we would. This probably has something to do with the amount of school work I have, but also we live right next to the canyon so if there is any sort of breeze swimming can be too cold....I know that might sound crazy (especially since it's July) but the pool water is still kind of chilly and I don't want Lucy to get too cold.

Here is a fun video of Lucy swimming with Devin. There's no sound because I was inside taking the video. I was supposed to be doing homework but I heard them playing and wanted to watch! :D

This next one was all of us swimming, I just think it's hilarious how she uses her little legs to propel herself! SO CUTE! (but I am a little biased)
