1st Annual Mortensen Derby Party
My sister Sherstine and her husband Wayne lived in Kentucky for 4 years while Wayne made his way through dental school. They've been back for almost a year and have decided to bring a little Kentucky back with them to good old Boise, Idaho.
I'm always up for a party, especially one where you get to dress up! The whole Waite family got into it! Johnny is wearing my Grandpa Bernard's police hat and he fashioned a horse and jockey to the top. His craft skills continue to amaze me. I found Lucy a hat at the dollar store and derbied it up! As for mine, well I think there's a tie between whether my hat or my hair do was more awesome.
All the ladies in their glorious hats!
No animals were killed in the making of this hat.
Ooh la la!
I was this years winner for best Derby hat!! I get to keep the roses until next year's party. Lucky me!
Later that day Heidi went to her senior prom. She looked beautimus!
This is my dad. Not her date.

Day at the park.
The weather has been so nice lately and I have been itching for the longest time to get outside with Lucy. Today we went to Ann Morrison Park with my sisters Sherstine and Erika and their kids. IT was so nice to be out in the sunshine!
Lucy and Emmy in their sun hats.
Em was super tired.
Sherstine and her kids in the freezing river.
Lucy was not happy when I stuck her toes in.
Lucy really loves being outside and I can't wait for it to get warmer so we can take her swimming!

6 months of Lucy!
Lucy turned 6 months old on Saturday the 10th. She went to the doctor today for her well check and shots.
Stats:
Weight: 18lbs!!
Height: 26.5 in.
Head: 17.5 cm
All in the 90%- BIG GIRL
Some things that Lucy does:
-Will not stay on her back for more than a few seconds. As soon as we lay her down she rolls right to her belly.
Especially on her changing table after a bath. She tries to roll over and ends up wrapping herself around the bar. Luckily its there to keep her in!
-Scoots around in circles and can go backwards.
-Pushes up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth.
-Sticks her tongue out constantly.
-Loves the frozen teething ring (I can see two teeth getting ready to pop up on the bottom.)
-Will give high fives.
-Babbles and talks in her "alto" voice.
-Growls.
-Likes to suck and chew on her pointer finger.
-Eats crackers, goldfish, and other munchies and likes to suck on carrots and apples.
-Lately she prefers daddy when he's home.
-Recognizes strangers and is a little nervous around people she doesn't know.
-Loves to look at herself in mirrors and lick her reflection.
She is getting so busy and animated and I love it! I predict she will be crawling within the month. She tries so hard. She can pretty much get anywhere she wants to go by rolling or scooting around and around and backwards. Shes never been much of a crier, she just moans and complains until she gets what she needs.
Lucy is a happy and healthy little girl and we love her to pieces! I'm so glad I get to stay home with her, because I cannot get enough!

Easter Photo Shoot With Cousins
All in their Sunday best. Well, except grandpa in his nightgown!
Totally classic. Gavin is like "urg, surrounded by girls!" Emmy and Luc were over it.
Lucy was SO done.
p.s Emmy was sleeping for the first part, thats why she's only in a few. Also, Lucy and Liv got the same dresses without knowing it! Friday, March 26, 2010
It's official
I'm addicted. . .
ADDICT or ADDICTION:
From the sleepy little newborn who only wanted to cuddle and eat.
To the spunky sassy 1/2 year old who makes me laugh. Every. Single. Day.
I am dependent on the huge smile I get when I peek into her crib in the morning; and the way she digs her face into my neck when I pick her up. Definitely couldn't live without it. And even when she cries and screams with that high-pitched screech, I am completely tolerant. Most of the time I giggle.
I love the way she smiles and gets squirmy when she knows its time to take a bath, and I crave the way she smells afterward when I lather her up with lotion.
I am so ardently devoted to her and am completely in awe that I get to be in her life forever. Yes!
So whether I am addicted to Lucy or to being a mother in general, time will tell.
But she's pretty special.
p.s. No intervention needed.
ADDICT or ADDICTION:
- being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is habit-forming
- an abnormally strong craving
- someone who is so ardently devoted to something that it resembles an addiction
- to cause (someone or oneself) to become dependent
