7 years! (plus 1 day)

7 years ago we signed those papers to be husband and wife. Luckily I got to marry my best friend and each day take an adventure through life with this handsome man. I love you David Richard Finney Otten! This past year has brought such high highs and some lows but through it all we have persevered hand in hand. We welcomed our first baby this past year, you finished your second of four years of residency, we traveled to Phoenix, Charlotte, Streamboat Springs... We have taken our baby fishing, camping, hiking and we have shared our love with Lucy. You are an incredible man Dave and I cannot wait to grow next to you hand in hand as the years pass by. I'm impressed with your walk into being a new father, a better physician, a wonderful partner, a best friend, and a man I can share life with! Happy day Dave!

 

a-basin wedding fun

We left Lucy for the first time this Friday for a friends wedding at A-Basin. It was a beautiful place filled with wonderful people. Lucy and I survived our time apart. I'm not sure she even knew we were gone! Ha! 

 

Double Digit Month!

Lucy is 10 months old!

 
 

Wow, time is flying by.  This girl is awesome.  She is crawling everywhere, pulling up on anything, starting to cruise and transfer and smiles all the time.  Lucy is such a content little nugget!  She is actively trying to pop out a few teeth, but nothing to report yet.  She has swollen gums and the tip of a pearly white poked out for only a day.  I'm happy to report that Lucy is growing into a very outgoing happy loving and sweet little girl. She loves to give kisses and likes to get attention from anyone and everyone. Lucy is talking more as well. She says mama, ball, bird, beer and airplane. When she hears a plane she looks up to the sky to see it. She signs airplane too. Lately Lucy has enjoyed taking things out of a container (usually her animals) then placing them back in. She is sorting and it is amazing to watch her little mind work. Her favorite food right now would be peaches! Delicious Palisade peaches!  She loves all fruit and tolerates some veggies. She likes bread/carbs...like mother like daughter:)
