Lucy's Smile

We finally got her! Well...sort of :) We've been trying so hard to get some good pictures of her smile, but whenever the camera comes out she gets distracted or it's time to change activities. She gets bored of things pretty fast :D.

Lucy in Green

So before lucy was born, Devin and I bought a pack of onsies that were neutral colors (i.e. green, white and yellow) since we didn't know what gender she'd be. Last week Devin made a comment about how he thinks Lucy looks good in green, and he doesn't just want her to wear pink because she looks good in other colors too! So the next day I dressed Lucy in green and we had ourselves a little photo shoot just for daddy :)

So confused!

This was Lucy's expression the first time she saw a video of herself...She looked like she was thinking "Those are my sounds, but I'm not making them!" Haha, it was hilarious, so we had to take a picture!

Playing with Daddy!

Lucy LOVES playing with Devin and vis-a-versa. She just likes to talk and talk with him, it's pretty cute!
(Sorry for the weird angles. I couldn't figure out how to film her without her finding the camera...or realizing that I was there :D cause then all the fun ends)

Going on one month!

Lucy Mae is now one month old! I can't even believe it! It doesn't feel like it's been that long, but it's been a wonderful month for sure! While Lucy has always been a very alert baby, the past week or so she's been getting more and more interactive while she's awake! She'll coo and "talk" and has started to smile! She's awake for an hour at least 3 times a day.
Devin and I are back in school. We had kind of a rough start not just with realizing we need to plan more time into getting ready because of Lucy's still unpredictable routines, but also because we've been making some changes in our majors and deciding what we need/want to do. I ended up having to leave the Special Education major because I didn't want to student teach. I don't feel like it would be right to leave Lucy for 6-8 hours every day. And even after petitioning the college won't allow me to graduate with out it. SO I'm now going to do School of Family Life with an emphasis in Home and Family Living! That's right, I'm studying how to be a mom :D. I can be done by December and finally get to just be a mom!
Devin just figured out what he wants to do as well! After a long fight to get into Mechanical Engineering he decided it just wasn't for him and has decided to go into Technology and Engineering Education. "What is that?" you ask? Well it means that he can teach Junior High and High School as a shop teacher. So he'd teach CADD, woodworking, welding, that kind of stuff! There are a few other things, but that's the direction he's looking right now. Teaching has always been something that he has enjoyed and I think he's going to make a WONDERFUL teacher!
Well that's the update for now! I'll leave you with this video clip of Lucy Mae! I took it this morning :D While she doesn't 'talk' a whole lot in it I figured it'd be fun for everyone to see what she's like when she's awake :).
