I love how she looks when she puts on her glasses…face all scrunched up to get them on right. I love how she says things like “whatevs” and an incredulous “seriously?” I love the noise of complete glee she makes when she opens gifts. I love that she loves schedules and order. I love how she says “hello.” I love how she and Dave say “goodnight” to each other when he puts her to bed:  “guniiiiiiiiiiiiiet Lucy!” real loud from the hallway after he closes her door.  “guniiiiiiiiiiet Daddy!” she yells back.  And I can tell from her voice she has a big smile stretched across her face while she says it. I love that she has learned to look at people in the eye, and how she maneuvers her face and mouth to express what she’s trying to say. I love that she has to give me a kiss before she goes to Primary each Sunday. I love how she sings, and what an amazing imagination she has with all her “guys.” (an example here) But most of all I love that she’s mine.  And that she teaches me things every day. Love you sweet Lucy.  Forever and ever.

  12. THAT'S what you look like post-delivery? Tan, beautiful, gleaming white smile? In Lucy's word, seriously?!?! I look like I've been dragged out of a dumpster in Hoboken. Happy Birthday to Lucy! May she have her cake and eat it too 🙂

  15. Danika, thanks for a laugh today! I was thinking the same thing but you summed it up much better and funnier! I do not look even decent after having a baby and she is gorgeous!
