Lucy - 3 Weeks

Lucy is now three weeks old! A lot has happened in her first few weeks of life!

We got the pictures back that were taken at the hospital. They turned out so well! This first one is of her in the hat and booties that my mom made for her. So cute!
This picture is of Dave holding her in his arm. I love that it shows how teeny she is. Precious!
What a sweet girl! We've so enjoyed having Lucy in our family!
We discovered a birth mark on her left ankle. It's a reddish colored one. So all of our kids have a birth mark.
She has been getting to know family and friends (see "Sibling Love" post for Emma & Callahan & Lucy adventures). She is so blessed to be surrounded with so many who love her so much!

Here she is with Aunt Julie, Grandma Sue and Emma.
My Mom wasn't able to meet her until she was about a week old, since she was very sick and didn't want to get Lucy sick. Here's my mom holding her for the first time, and Cal giving her a kiss.

Uncle Marko...who doesn't love Uncle Marko?
Here's Kaleb Miller, our good friends Dennis and Calena's son, with Lucy. They were due five days apart and were born five days apart (Kaleb on the 14th, and Lucy on the 19th). We weren't able to see him though until he was a couple of weeks old, and Lucy was a week old, since we were all sick. We put them together to take pictures, and it was so cute because they held hands all by themselves. Calena joked that Kaleb looked like a sumo wrestler next to Lucy, he is a big boy and Lucy is so little!

Lucy loves to sleep and she sleeps a lot! She will go for 4 or 5 hour stretches without waking up. It's kind of nice. Then when she's awake, she'll want to eat every 20 minutes.

Lucy's umbillical chord fell off at 1 1/2 weeks. So we gave her a bath that day. The kids were so excited to help! She loved the warm bath water!

Lucy is a good, calm baby most of the time. We've been pretty lucky!

We took Lucy to her two week appointment on Monday of this week. She already weighs 6 lbs., 8 oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long! She's growing well, and our PA, Dustin Havey, said she looks great and is very healthy!
Last week, my sister Amy did a little photo shoot with Lucy, and the pictures turned out so darling! Thanks, Am! She is so talented in so many ways, and I admire the way she develops her talents! So here are some of my favorite pics she took...

I love the pictures. She is so tiny. They just grow up so fast, I forget how small they start out at. I'm so glad that she is sleeping well for you. Congrats! She is a doll.
