changing it up!

Okay so I am irritated with the photo aspect of this site. I really do love the blogger part but I need to add more photos and Flickr is driving me crazy so I have put together another site and I am starting over....http://ourcantwellfamily.shutterfly.com/ enjoy!

Joe, Melissa and Lucy

Silly Lucy...

So they say that babies don't make associations or manipulate situations until they are 3-4 months old....I say that is a load of crap! Lucy is 2 months today and I have noticed the last two days that her cry has become more of a "mom...hey mom...are you there...mom...could you come here for a second...mom...mom...hey mom" type of sound. It is very pitiful and quite adorable. So I put her down for her nap this afternoon and she starts in with this little pathetic cry and I ignore it. She eventually goes to sleep with me going into her room once to cover her back up and give her one more kiss. I go down stairs and she has been quiet for about 10 minutes now and I say to my sister-in-law, "I think we are good, she is out" and the second those words leave my lips Lucy starts in again! I couldn't believe it! So I go back upstairs and she has kicked her covers off again and is crying her most pitiful yet adorable cry...I go into her room to cover her up and she stops her "cry" and sighs at the site of me...almost like she was saying "oh hi mom, there you are. I was just wondering if you were still around and whatchu were up to..." I couldn't help but laugh and give her one more kiss. I pet her nose and her eyes closed, she is out like a light now. I just love this little personality that is emerging. It is so precious and endearing. I have a feeling she will be quite the little love bug for awhile. I hope she stays the snuggly baby that she is right now. I know I am always saying how I don't want her to grow up but everyday I love her a little more and she is learning to do so many little things right now that I have to admit it is pretty cool. I love my little Lucy!
