Developments

She loves her Bass Pro Shop Bear from Uncle Keith!
First time touching the grass! And yes...we had sunblock on her :) I need to find her a sun hat!

Look at all of that hair!!

A few developments to report on...

LUCI: She's officially crawling! She legitimately crawled on Saturday morning...she made her way over to the DVR remote. And then to my dirty old shoe. And then to a piece of paper. Then to the computer. Then to the tile & the fireplace. Then to the ottoman...and then she tried to pull up on it! And by now, Monday, she's made her way to all pieces of furniture in the room & tried to pull herself up. Usually she ends up on her knees with arms fully outstretched to touch said furniture...with too much space between her & the furniture item...and then ends up falling & hitting her head on the way down. And then she cries. Given this new development the nights have been ROUGH again. And now today she has a fever...see CLAY for further details. At her 6 month well baby appointment she was 18lbs, 4 oz (90th percentile), and 27.5 inches (95th percentile) long with a big head of 17.5 inches (95th percentile).

BRITT: I am starving, grouchy & tired. My Lenten Pledge is to honor my body by eating well & exercising. To that end, I've joined Weight Watchers (online only). I track every teeeny orange slice I eat and have been eating very well...and still exceeding my allotted points. Boo. I do splurge on my morning coffee drink...and it takes up a whopping 6 of my 21 points...but seriously...most days it really motivates me to get out of bed before I'm ready (aka when Luci is ready...I know, her sweet sweet face is enough, but thoughts of a warm yummy drink help too). We've been going for lots of walks around the loop (about 2.7 miles) and I've got some tunes on my i-pod to help get me going. When I want to quit I listen to Justin Timberlake telling me 'I'm bringing sexy back'...and it keeps me going!

CLAY: Mr. "I never get sick" called in sick mid-way through his work day on Saturday. Apparently he had not been feeling well since Friday but didn't tell me because he didn't want me to worry...so I was super surprised when he came home early on Saturday. Turns out he had stomach cramps & a fever...which sadly, it seems our Pea now has. Clay started to feel a bit better on Sunday, but still "wasn't 100%" today. I'm just hoping I don't catch it...
