Happy 17 months baby girl!  This is a few days late but we've had a busy but fun long weekend.  Our little bug has been running everyone ragged lately.  She is a girl on the MOVE!  She is crawling around like a speed demon and when she really wants to move she puts her weight on her head and walks with her legs speeding like a spider.  It's so cute and I really have to post some video of these tricks.  Lucy is adding more and more words to her vocabulary.  Some of our favorite expressions to hear her use are, "oh no", "uh oh", "ay, yi, yi" and the new one we're working on "yama hama".  Lucy's skills are also with the phone now which shows I can't let her play with them for entertainment anymore.  Last week my brother in law Brinton called around nine in the morning.  I was happy to hear from him but surprised as to why he was calling from work.  "Did you just call me?" he asked.  "Uh, no, but I think Lucy did!".  I caught her with my cell phone and apparently she hit redial multiple times calling Brinton.  Another trick she learned (but more likely by accident) she downloaded a song on my cell phone.  Last week I arrived at work and it was still kind of early and very quiet in the office.  I put my purse on my desk and this horrendously loud pop-y song started playing.  I knew it wasn't a ring tone when the ENTIRE song played but it was still coming from my phone.  Apparently there is a music download feature (I've never used it) and the bug must have hit just the right buttons to download the song and video of the Jonas Brothers "Be Good".  I now know the name because EVERY TIME the front player buttons of my phone are pressed this song starts.  

Lucy is doing so many fun things and she makes our lives, days, minutes so happy.  She loves to be out in a crowd.  She loves to wave to people and is so happy when they wave back.  We've been stopped so often lately by people just drawn to this pretty, happy girl.  She loves the attention and likes to put on a show with her charm and sparkly eyes.  I love you little princess.  You make mommy and daddy so happy and proud.  I can't believe you will be 1 1/2 next month - such a big girl, but you'll always be my sweet baby bug!! 

Too many pictures!  I know I get carried away but I decided it was best to end the photo shoot when I got this look!  She looks like such a big girl in the picture - and I think she means business!
