Lots of updates....but no pics

Life has been very busy, but nothing picture worthy so this is a picture-less post!  Most exciting, my grandma is out of the hospital (as we all knew would be the case) and she is moved into a nursing home!  She is making great progress and we can't wait to go visit her this weekend!  A close second is Lucy's first tooth is coming through.   We were worried she was going to need to get baby dentures, but can see and feel her first tooth. She is getting so big! I did get a bit teary-eyed because I will miss her big "all gums" smile.  Maybe it is just because I am her mom, but it is the most precious smile ever.   AND, we finally got our baby-friendly place listed on the market, so have our fingers crossed that we can sell it soon and move into a house where Lucy (and Miles) have some space!

Okay, so maybe we aren't all THAT busy but our families are so it makes us feel busy. My dad finished second (he was just 2 minutes off from taking the gold!) in his marathon this past weekend (GO DAD!), Bill, Chris, Grandma and Aunt Pat just got back from a wonderful trip to Disney World, my sister and mom were among 13,000 screaming women in bright shirts at the Oprah taping last night and Jill and Jake are celebrating their one year anniversary next week!! And, I can't keep track of Kate between classes, work and David.

Outside of trying to grow a tooth, Lucy is crawling everywhere, pulling herself up onto anything that she can reach, and is really starting to socialize with other babies which is so much fun to see.  She will crawl right up to other babies and try to touch their faces (and unfortunately sometimes will take their toy).  But, she also has this very focused, introverted side to her which makes me laugh. Today in our music class all the babies were crawling around and Lucy was by herself banging on a drum.  She takes after her mom - she likes to be social but when it becomes a little too much, she needs her alone time :)

Hope everyone is having a great week!
