Sugar Pie Honey

Okay, I guess the movie titles are over with--for the moment. Bring on the songs. Soooo...how many times will Lucye be 19 on the 19th? Not many, but for this day she is 19 months on the 19th of November. We HAD to celebrate. Especially after the 18 month birthday bringing such a disappointing showing. So, we made cupcakes. Lucye picked out the green sugar crystals on top. She loved the dark chocolate icing...her father's daughter. I was surprised by this fact, because when we attended a friend's birthday party not too long ago, she wasn't particularly interested in the cupcakes...but then Mommy took care of that for her. What sacrifices this mommy makes ;-) She is saying "baby" constantly now. She said "how cool" in the bathtub (was repeating her Dad referring to the water temperature, not something neat) and "wow" when she saw her new pink winter coat. Time to really watch what we say I guess...heavy sigh.

Halloween (yes, this qualifies as a movie title)

It’s hard to catch a train…or a ladybug. But I (Mommy) did catch the food poisoning bug, so I apologize for the delay in keeping the website up-to-date. Now that I’m a domestic engineer (thanks to India outsourcing), that should improve (she says). Enough about me.

To catch you up on Lucye’s latest accomplishments: she walks pretty good up and down the stairs (with help) now, and she said “toes” and “three” once. When she is finished with something, such as a meal, she spreads her arms open wide to indicate “all done.” She amazes us with her smarts every single day. She knows everything now, and is ready for college. Well, in just a short while anyway.
