HALLOWEEN IS COMING...

Long Day At Church

The moment you've all been waiting for...

Lucy is now a walking girl!! She has been taking steps for over a month, but last Thursday at my sister's house she just decided to take off and do it on her own. If she falls, she can get back up by herself (which you'll see in the video). More often than not, she is running rather than walking. This girl is such a hoot. I can't believe she is turning 1 in a few weeks. Love you Lucy goose!

A Sunday in Pictures

Lucy + Park = L-O-V-E

Lucy sure does love the park, and she hasn't even gone very many times, the poor girl. Our summer activity of choice has been swimming, which she also L-O-V-E-S. But one morning (of course it was morning, look at her hair!) I was feeling like getting our of the house and Zoot was happy to comply. She loved the swing SO MUCH. I would upload the video I took, but I'm too lazy. She just smiled the whole time with her little tongue a-waggin'.

Also, she's been teething this week and has been quite miserable. And getting 3-4 on top all at once ( I don't know the true count because she won't let me look), who can blame her? While her moaning and fevering were SO sad, it was quite nice to have her want nothing more than to snuggle. With her active life-style, snuggling is rare these days so it has been a bitter-sweet treat.

Life is good at the Waites. Right now excitement lies in the possibility of a new job for the Mr. We shall see.

Oh!
Might I mention that my little/big brother has been home for over a week and he is the greatest! Lucy took to him almost right off the bat.

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

My little brother will be here in 4 hours! WOOT! WOOT!

Beans, beans, the magical fruit...

Monday (with the help of my wonderful mother-in-law) I canned 31 pints of delicious green beans straight from the garden. I LOVE these green beans! Heat 'em up, put some butter and salt and pepper on 'em and mmmmmmmm. When I was pregnant with Lucy I would have a pint for a snack. Consequently (or maybe not) Lucy LOVES them as well. Shes not picky though. She'll eat them hot, cold, plain, buttered, it doesn't matter. Its like candy to her. Since she doesn't need them heated up, they're great to throw in diaper bag when we're running around. Or, like yesterday, when we met Johnny for lunch. I just brought a tupperware of green beans and she was perfectly content.

...the more you eat the more you toot?
