weekend!

happy friday! 

lucy's had a cold this past week- i'm sure we picked it up at gymnastics ! we headed to the pediatrician to make sure it wasn't turning into an ear infection, and of course she was in great spirits once we arrived at the doctor's office :) 

we went to lucy's friend kaitlyn's 3rd birthday party last saturday. she had the best time bouncing around the bouncy house and going down the big kid slide with daddy :)

it was the perfect princess party!

lucy climbs on everything these days, and much prefers her perch on the coffee table over anywhere else. we're excited to have more space for more appropriate options of things for lu to climb on!

this week lucy's confidence soared on the trampoline at gymnastics! she's getting more and more steady with her motor skills. i absolutely love this age of exploration and discovery!

jon doesn't travel again until we're in the new house! we're spending this upcoming weekend packing up our glassware, photos and other breakables. last weekend, jon took everything off the walls and packed the upstairs, while lucy and i were busy playing dress-up. it was a great set-up in the opinion of a 7 month pregnant lady! i can't believe we only have 2 more weekends in our first home. 

i've started bi-weekly prenatal appointments now that i'm in my third trimester, as well as weekly ultrasounds. i had this same ultrasound schedule when i was pregnant with lucy- with both pregnancies, my blood work indicated a slight risk of low birth weight, so i'm monitored a bit closer in the last 3 months. lucy came out a perfect 6lbs 10oz, and we're grateful this baby is right on track, too. AND i'm not gonna lie, i love the chance to be able to see our sweet girl each week :) as of last friday, she was in the 51st percentile at 2lbs 7oz!!

a quick list of the latest lucy-isms:

**if she sees a picture of someone with their eyes closed, she says "shhh!" even if the person is laughing with their eyes closed, she still thinks they're sleeping :)

**she points to purple things and says "purple!" and yellow things and says "yellow!" she knows [receptively] pink, red, blue, aqua, and green!

**when we ask her "where's the baby?" she kisses my tummy, and lifts up my shirt to find her :)

**she knows jon and i as "mama" and "dada" of course, but has started pointing to girls and saying "mama" and boys and saying "dada"- she totally knows who is a girl & who is a boy! 

excited to get outdoors in this 60 degree weather once my rascal's up from nap!
