20 Month Update

Tomorrow Lucy is 20 months. I am not going to do a huge update because there is not that much to report. With that being said, she has started doing a few things that are amazing to us. She is OBSESSED with counting and the ABCs. She wants us to sing the ABCs all of the time and she loves for us to count out anything. She will count to three on her own, but most of the time she only says 1, 2 and then starts over. She can say A B C D E and she sings it exactly how we do. A lot of time she says 2 Bs instead of a C. She doesn't always say the letters in the right order, but she has done it many times. She has started wanting to sing the ABCs any time she sees printed words, which is obviously a lot. Then today, she seriously amazed us. Justin, Lucy, and I were all in the car on the way home from the grocery store. She was in the backseat singing the ABCs when I asked her how to spell her name. A little background - she always wants me to write out her name and talk about the letters when she is coloring, so she has heard me spell out her name a million times and has always been able to say the letters. Anyway, I asked her how you spell her name and then I said L. Once I said L, she said U pause (Justin and I cheered), then with no prompting, she said C Y. I am not kidding when I say our chins hit the floor. We were cheering and in normal Lucy style, she moved right on acting like she has always known how to spell her name. Isn't that crazy?? This obsession with letters and numbers has just come in the past few weeks. She does not seem to recognize specific letters, but she adores talking about them. Really cute!!

I painted Lucy's toenails today. She sat perfectly still and never messed with them as they dried. She had on the cutest pair of sandals today and I just figured they would be even cuter with painted toes. The adorable sandals are from Gap and the black shoes with white flowers are made by Wee Squeaks (for those who asked in the last post).




Aren't these pjs adorable? They are from Hanoi. Justin called them her Hugh Hefners. Funny.



I am going to take Lucy to get her hair trimmed this week. Nothing major, just a little trim. Here is how long her hair is now.




Thanks for the help with the blur of my pictures. I have been playing with the ISO and it is really helping. This picture kills me. I swear, this girl has serious attitude.
