More Lucy Cuteness!!

Here are some cute pictures of me (Lucy). Daddy was reading me the book "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and Mommy let me hold my own bottle!! My friend Liam came to visit me too! He is just ten days older than me. His mommy and my mommy used to be roommates! Crazy, eh?!

Lucy Adventures

Lucy came and joined me when she woke up (note: she does NOT sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed!). Too bad I was not awake.

Lucy had a blowout and I got the lucky job of cleaning up the mess. I did get her onesie off of her without getting her messy!!

Tempe Town Lake had a part of their dam burst on Tuesday July 20th at night. We went to see it the next evening after our baby centering group(show-off your baby) party.
Lucy is Content to just lay around and look cute.
Look Mom and Dad I am ready for church!!

Lucy after a bath kind of has the thug look to her. Don't mess with my girl!! She is a cutie!!

Updates on Lucy...

I realized that we haven't updated our blog for a while...These pictures are not necessarily an "update" because they're kinda oldish, but we thought you might enjoy them. Look at how much she's changed!! She's eight weeks old now--she'll be two full months old on Saturday (you can send any big, expensive gifts in care of mommy!!). The picture of her in her crib with her hands up parallel to her head--she always wiggles out of her blanket. This is how she sleeps. Cute, eh?!

Oh. I also have to correct something. Apparently, Cookie Monster was, in fact, NOT purchased by my dad. He somehow won it in a drawing from the dentist in Raymond at the time!

Anyway, enjoy the beauty of our baby!

One Cookie Monster to Go, Please!!

For those of you who knew my father, you might say he could be a little over-zealous sometimes...A little. Back when my older sister, Michelle, was getting ready to graduate from high school, my dad became somewhat excited at the prospect of marrying his kids off and becoming a grandpa.

Many times, Dad would go uptown, running errands for Mom--half the time, he'd forget what he was going for and come back with something completely different! One such time, he came back with a talking Cookie Monster (from Sesame Street), exclaiming something to the effect of, "Isn't this great? It'll go to the first grandkid!" That first grandkid, of course, was Benjamin (Joe and Kara's boy). Ben received the Cookie Monster. A couple of years later, he shared it with Kaleb, his little brother. Upon Lucy's arrival, Kara, my sister-in-law, had the insight to send Cookie Monster on to Lucy. Thanks, Kara! As you can see, Lucy loves him! Well, she might not yet, but she will soon! He makes noises and says things like, "Yum, yum, yum! Me love cookies!"

For a long time, I've been sad to know that Ryan--and all my siblings' spouses (except Kara) will not know my dad. Likewise, Lucy and all her cousins will not have opportunity to get to know their Grandpa Atwood. Whatever the case, silly and excentric or not, Lucy--and perhaps all the grandkids, as we pass Cookie Monster from child to child--will at least have a piece of Grandpa Atwood.

The New Family

Lucy is here!!

We are finally home after spending 5 days in the Hospital. Meg had PIH(pregnancy induced Hypertension). They wanted to make sure she was ok so they admited her Saturday afternoon. Lucy was born Monday night at 11:34 PM. She was 6 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long. As you can see she is sooooo cute!!!!! The cure for PIH is delivering your baby so Meg and Lucy are fine now. They kept us an extra day because they wanted to make sure Meg was fine while coming off the drugs. All is well and we came home this afternoon. We were so blessed with doctors and nurses who knew what they were doing. Call Meg if you want more details. Welcome to our family Lucy Rose Miles!!!!
