hint: "Oocy" is what she calls herself

This morning when I got Lucy out of her crib, before we went out to the living room, I showed her some baby pictures of me and Shaggy that we have on a shelf in her room. When I showed her the one of me, about 6 years old, and asked who it was, she said, "girl!".

When I showed her the one of Shaggy, about two years old with  a mischievous twist of the mouth, and asked who it was, she said, "Oocy!"

lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

The new animal sounds are so fantastic, there's "peep peep" for the chicks, "mmmmmm" for the cow, "cack-y" for the duck, "eee-aww" for the donkey, "cock-a" for the rooster, "meow" for the cats, "ooof!" for the dogs, and the lion, tiger, and bears all say the same thing: ROOOAAAAARR!

in all her finery

My sister Maria got married last month (congrats, Maria!), and it was an excellent opportunity for Lucy to get all dressed up in lace and play with her cousins.

counting crackers

This evening we forgot to give Lucy the antibiotics for her ear infection before bed, so we had to wake her up later to give her the dose. When we went to wake her up, she was wriggling in her bed, muttering "cracker".

She dreams of her next meal. That's my girl.
