Things I Want to Remember

I'm stealing an idea from my friend Jamie and am going to use our blog to document all the special things I want to remember about Lucy. Here we go:

1. She loves to enter a crowd of strangers and is at her happiest when all eyes are on her. And if people don't notice her, she'll do an intense stare-down until they look.
2. The Darth Vader theme song makes her burst out in belly laughs.
3. She loves to squeal, blow raspberries and bounce when she's excited. Her bouncing continues even while in the car seat and looks like she's doing a little chicken dance.
4. She follows Brandon's every move when he's getting ready to leave for work in the morning, and she starts bouncing and flapping her arms when he returns home at night.
5. She is an extremely eager eater and still shakes her head like a little bird right before eating. She loves to cross her legs at the ankle like a dainty little girl. Also, she often moans with excitement and enjoys snapping my bra strap during her feeding sessions. (Sorry if this is too much information but I don't want to forget how funny this is!)
6. She loves scratching things. This trick started with her scratching her belly like a little old man. Now she's expanded to scratching my back while she's eating and giving Brandon's belly a tickle when he's carrying her in the baby carrier.
7. She rubs her eyes and buries her head in my shoulder to let me know she's ready for a snooze.
8. She wants to crawl so badly but can't quite do it yet.
9. She let us push her all over England with relatively little complaint. We like to think we've already taught her some valuable lessons about exploring the world and being adaptable. But I'm hoping this doesn't mean she wants to journey around the world for months on end without her Mother when she's older.
