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:) 

North Carolina

Dave, Lucy and I were able to travel to North Carolina during Dave's week of vacation.  Lucy was a rockstar on the flights.  She took naps on the go, ate food on our laps, made friends on the plane, and smiled at everyone.  She was such a HAM!

It was so wonderful to visit with Kailey in Charlotte.  We visited her work, many breweries, local restaurants, parks, coffee shops, friends and we traveled to the beach.  Lucy did pretty good while sleeping in a new place and she took great naps on the go.  Lucy was such a trooper!

 
 
 

naked!

Lucy LOVES being naked!  We have naked time each night before bedtime (and randomly throughout the day) and Lucy gets so excited.  Here are a few happy naked faces:)

Colfax Half Marathon!

I ran my personal best half marathon on May 18th.  It was the Colfax Half Marathon.  The course was awesome.  We ran through the zoo, down Montview (a street lined with beautiful trees/old houses), through an old firehouse with many high fives from police and firefighters, only 3 miles on East Colfax (complete with a few shady motels) and it finished in City Park.  I ran with a girl names Julia (an EM resident with Dave) and we were able to push ourselves and run a great race.  My goal was to break 2 hours and we did!  I got a time of 1:56!  I am very proud of my accomplishment and thankful for my health.

A huge thank you to my training partner/strength and conditioning coach, Lucy.

Lucy and I have logged many miles together and she is always such a trooper!  Thank you Lucy and Mama loves you!

7 months old in May!

I am posted this a little bit late, but Lucy is 7 months old!  Full of personality and happiness, our little nugget is such a blessing.  Lucy is eating more solid foods and her favorites include apples, pears, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, avocado, and banana.  She loves to feed herself.  She has little crackers that dissolve quickly and she loves them!  Lucy also hates peas... still.  I tried to give her a mix of peas and pears, but she knew the peas were there.  She did not puke, but her face showed her major displeasure.  

Silly girl with her tongue.
