Poses

Pose pretty for the picture! Smile! OK, now look at me! Now lift your chin up a little. Ok now eyes on me--AAAHHH there's a bird on my head! Wait, now show me your teeth!

Or do that, I guess.

But the pictures my sweet Lucy takes are full of personality.

We had just gotten our new shipment of Barney Butter shirts in kid sizes and the kids took a picture to show them off.

Lucy and Afton have bonded as sisterly cousins. They disappear into the walls when they're together. They play with dolls, pretend to be doctors, and love to dress up. Lucy always talks Afton into joining her with her love affair for Ariel PJ's (we haven't been able to retire her 1T size PJ's yet. She keeps finding them even though she has two others to choose from!). Here you see Afton and Lucy in PJ's having their turn first at the Easter egg hunt. Lucy would pick each egg up, shake it, then throw it in her basket. Afton stopped and ate her candy after a few eggs.

On Lucy's birthday, we did a quick Q&A. Lucy isn't a big talker, you could say, so be patient. She actually does say something by the end of the video. Chris has asked her what her whole name is, in case that part is unclear.
