Time always seems to go too quickly; sorry for not keeping you up to date as much as I would like to. We've been busy since we got back from Wisconsin this summer, doing lots of stuff around the house and growing! Lucy is getting bigger and older every day! She is walking EVERYWHERE, starting to run....she loves exploring around our house; the woods, the beach she loves going to the park. Recently Ian went away for 5 days, she missed him a lot. We spent a little time each day watching videos of Daddy on his website. She LOVED it and she knows what tennis is now......which is good because she LOVES tennis balls! Her speech has exploded (and thats an understatement) this last month. She went from saying 3 barely recognizeable words before September to saying everything now....although Ian and I will probably have to translate for you if you hear her in person ;) Just yesterday she started saying No (uh oh, I know) Daddy, Lucy (woocy) and Mommy (wady) She hasn't mastered the 'M' sound so when she says 'milk' it sounds like 'wook'. Its cute watching her learn new things everyday. Ian and I both agree that we like a 2 year old much better than a baby, or as Ian says, "Babies are overrated". We love having another little person around here to make us giggle. Just in the past couple weeks she is starting to pretend play....she takes her teddy bear shopping, puts him in the stroller, plays blocks with him.....it is SO cute. Seriously, this age is so much fun. We were just saying the other day how much fun she will have at Christmas this year.....can't wait! Speaking of Christmas, we are going to be home!! Better yet, we get to stay for more than a week, and we are all coming together! We'll be in WI Dec. 15-Jan. 3rd and are really looking forward to it, as always. Lucy and I are actually going to be in WI next week, Nov. 2-15. Hope to see you all soon!
