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!

See!! See what I mean?! It's getting easier and better, the communication is getting stronger. It is so difficult when all they can do is cry to communicate. It's why I feel so strongly about working with our kiddos at school. Not being able to just say "oh, hi! there you are" is so challenging.
On the other hand, when they DO begin to talk and you realize they have opinions different from your own, you'll miss those pre-verbal days!
I can honestly say I have loved EVERY phase of JH's life a little more than the last. And even though he comes up to my armpit, I still want to munch on his cheeks occasionally. I'm so glad you are enjoying this time with your sweet little Lucy. It goes by so quickly. (except for the first four months - those days seem to go on forever! They are longer days, after all, when you don't get to sleep!)
I thought of you recently when I was putting together a slide show for a friend's surprise party for her mom. I had taken pics for her, and she sang a song from the musical "Baby", and I used the song in the slideshow I did of all the party pics. "The Story Goes On". It's a weeper.
That is a good song. I sang it in school. It is a weeper!
