Lu-Lu skip to my Lu

Lucy's hair has started to fill in a lot, which has made for seriously crazy bedhead.  Here's one morning where her hair was sticking straight out to the side.  I soaked it completely with water and combed it down and as soon as it dried, it went right back to this.  It was a crazy hair day!
 Becky gave us this little snowman jacket last Christmas.  It is size 3-12 months... quite the range! Last year it was way too big, this year is much more doable.  She makes a cute snow(wo)man even without snow!
 One day Lucy was begging to play with the fruit in our fruit bowl, so I let her.  The next thing I knew, she was taking bites from the apple.  Since then I have let her just eat normal apples and I'm amazed at how much she gets done on her own.  I do have to watch her closely though and make sure she doesn't get too big of a bite with the skin because it's harder to break down and I don't want her choking.  I'm paranoid about that.
I love how just a couple fingers have a death grip on the apple.
 Today was a beautiful December day with weather in the upper 50's and sunny!  We took advantage of that and spent a bit of time outside.  We discovered that if I put Lucy on her bike at the top of the driveway, she could ride down by herself since it's slight downhill (typically she can only push herself backwards on this so I spend my time bent over pushing her).  She thought it was pretty fun!
 I also taught her how to keep her feet on the wheels while I was pushing her so that she wouldn't get them stuck underneath/behind her or the wheel.  She thought it was so funny that her feet were going in circles.
 Then her dad came home from work and she was a super happy camper!
 After dinner she was walking around the kitchen floor, which can be slippery for her in her socks, and she fell and got a pretty bad bruise on her cheek.  I think all the crying from that made her extra tired and she cuddled right up to me so we could read books.
I seriously love this girl right now (well, I always do, but we're just having a lot of fun these days- even amidst the ever-growing tantrums).  Just can't get enough of her!!!  Also, I have some cute videos of her but they're taking 95 years to download so I gave up and will post them tomorrow.
