To Lucy at 7 months

Hi Little Lady,

Happy 7 month birthday! Wow. Wow wow wow... I know I say this every month, but WHERE IS THE TIME GOING? *Sigh* I'll leave it at that.

You know, I feel like we are on the verge of something new every day. I'm never quite sure what you will do next. You were army crawling around for most of the last month - mastering sitting up right after Easter, and then April 25th you were crawling. Daddy brought you home, and said "watch this" he put you down on the floor and you started crawling! Since then you have become better each day. More coordinated, faster, and fearless. But even before you had been crawling you were starting to pull yourself up. Just the other night you stood holding onto the coffee table and started creeping along around it. Oh dear. You are truly on the move. Your Daddy loves you so much, he started pulling out the baby proofing gear, covering corners and putting in outlet covers. I know we will never be able to prevent all your hurts but it breaks our hearts to think of you even getting a scratch.

Speaking of Daddy, we went to see him perform in an alumni show choir show at his old high school. You love to visit your Grandma and Grandpa Walljasper as well as your Great Grandparents in Iowa. Everyone loves to see you and play with you. And we have to be honest, little Girl. You are just awesome. So well behaved and fun to be around.

Oh! Just this past weekend Aunt Julia, Uncle Mike, and Sebby came for a visit. We went to Lincoln Park Zoo. It was your first time on a public bus and you were making friends at every stop. Everyone on the bus loved you. And you of course loved to see everyone. You started something new this weekend too. You are now raising your hand as if to wave to someone. You don't wave per say but rather just lift your hand out as if saying, "HEY!" It's really stinking cute. You are also so funny. You are much more vocal, and started calling and responding when we call/respond to you. You love singing and playing peek a boo. You absolutely LOVE to look at other little kids.

Crawling, standing, scootching, waving, smiling, and "talking"... I can't wait to see all what May has to bring.

You never stop amazing me!!

I love you, I love you, I love you.
