the lucy family: 20 months.

sarah katherine lucy!!!! you were born 20 months ago! i can't believe you will be two in just 4 short months. you are changing so fast and growing and learning more and more everyday! you are so precious & even with your little fever that's making you so irritable we still think you hung the moon. here is a list of things that you're up to these days. love you little doodle bug!

you're up to 26 pounds....may be a little bit less because you were weighed fully clothed.
you are finally eating alot! nothing is more stressful than seeing you eat like a little bird....i want you to eat well & be healthy! you are eating vegetable casseroles really well right now because you love to use your spoon/fork. we are so excited about it!
you are silly & very talkative when you feel comfortable, but you are quiet & shy when you're not sure about your surroundings.
you can say just about anything. you say lots and lots of words throughout the day and for right now your sentences consist of 2 words like "hey mama" or "bye beau-beau" or "hi meow" and that sort of thing.
you used to always count "1,2,yellow,2,yellow." funny sarah kate!! now you can count to 6 but you often throw in a "yellow" here and there. we have no idea why you started doing that but it sure has kept us laughing!
you want your crocs on all the time...all day everyday. it's becoming a problem. you throw tantrums when i put on any other type of shoe. i'm thinking of just hiding the crocs but sometimes they are just so practical and easy. i hope you get over the obsession soon.
you already have a best friend. you talk about alden ALL the time. on tuesdays and thursdays i am able to distract you from wanting your crocs by telling you that we're headed to school to see alden. you run to the door and bang on it and yell, "alden, alden, alden." and she calls you "cake." her mommy & daddy say that she talks about "cake" all the time too. y'all are 2 sweet girls that's for sure!
you say your prayers at night. you say "prayer" & put your little hands together and then we pray for people. you will contribute with names. one name you would never ever let me forget is "ash-ee." that's your aunt ashley. you love to talk about her and especially love to pray for her! last night after we prayed for everybody i asked you if we forgot anybody and you looked up, touched my face and said, "mama." my heart be still! you are my girl! and yes, mama needs lots and lots of prayers for sure. and at the end you always say "AMEN".
things you love: outside, bubbles, slide (sometimes...you go in phases), the park, beau, bella (you call her "meow"), all your family members, all animals, swinging, crocs, bathtime, dancing, music, mickey mouse clubhouse, elmo, wagon rides, stroller rides, car rides, books, "reading", shoes, purses, any accessories, cards.....did i mention outside?????
you had icecream for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loved it! strawberry.....you and your daddy shared a cone of it and after every bite you said, "MMMMM.....MORE!"
you have moved up to size XL sleep sack. your sleep sack has always been part of your bedtime routine and you love it. when you see it you say, "night night." i guess you'll just use a sleep sack until you go off to college....haha=)
you are in a size 4 diaper during the day and size 5 at night. you wear 18mo.-2T clothes. you are tall so the 2T tshirts fit you best and the rest just depends on what brand since they all run a little different. your wear size 4.5 - 5.5 in shoes.
favorite breakfast: scrambled eggs or cheese toast & fruit. favorite lunch: cheese/ham quesadilla, fruit & corn/blackbean mix. favorite snack: mimi crackers, whole grain goldfish, whole grain cheerios, and fruit sauce squeezable packs.

that's all for now little bug. We are so glad God chose YOU to be our daughter. i feel very undeserving but super grateful at the same time. next up: we'll be making a weekend trip to one of your favorite places this coming friday. we are going to mimi & papa's house! and we are going to help mimi "babysit" your big cousins. can't wait! below i posted pics of you at zero months, 10 months and today at 20months! my how you've grown.
