Cute (and sick) little girl

Between Christmas and now, I feel like I have been out of touch with reality.  Mostly because sickness has ERUPTED in the Potts home.  Like I said in the previous blog, Lucy (and Daddy) got the stomach bug which lasted a couple days.  Lucy got to have her first sick day and stayed home with Daddy.  They watched chicken little, slept, and bonded all day.  After that we thought Lucy was getting better! She certainly acted like it!

 She finally gets to wear her shirt!  Daddy and I have been wanting her to wear this shirt for so long but she now fits in it! 

 So after a few days of what we thought was getting better...diarrhea came with a vengeance. I don't think we have ever done so many loads of laundry in one day as well as diaper changes.  After finally getting a hold of the doctor, she wanted us to head to the emergency room in fear that she was dehydrated. Lucy got to wear the cutest hospital gown around and even though it was so sad to see her sick, we couldn't help but take pictures of our pathetic and cute little girl.

Turns out, our baby girl had an ear infection which caused the diarrhea.  She can't catch a break! Daddy and I were both so thankful that she wasn't dehydrated and that she is now on antibiotics to help her.  Poor baby girl! :(

Christmas Part 2!!!

About a week after we got back from Idaho, it was time for Christmas part 2.  When we got there, it was Daddy's birthday so we all went out to dinner to celebrate!

 Cousin Love!  Lucy was pretty excited to have someone sitting next to her in a high chair!  She just kept looking at him and smiling!

 When we got to the house, Lucy found a car tucked away in the toy bin.  That entertained her for long periods of time!

 New Toys!!!  She wanted to help cousin Addi play with her new toys! Notice the cute matching pj's?!

 Lucy was a little overwhelmed and tired.  Mommy and Daddy did most of the unwrapping for her, but she had lots of fun playing with all the toys later!

            A new outfit from Grannie and Pops!  Isn't it so cute?!  We can't wait to see her in it!

 Playing with Great Grandmother is always fun! Especially when she has fun strings on her sweatshirt to play with!

Lucy had a ton of fun playing with all her new toys. Unfortunately, she didn't get to play with them for very long since the day after Christmas she got the stomach bug.  That is why Mommy also didn't get much pictures.  When Mommy is getting thrown up on all day and cleaning up, pictures are the last thing she is thinking of

New Bath Toys!

Over Christmas, Lucy received lots of COOL bath toys that she could hardly wait to use.  Because she is now a big girl, too, she now sits in the tub all by herself!

I tried to get pictures of miss Lucy that wouldn't embarrass her too much as she got older, but it is much harder than it looks!

Lucy's first Christmas

On Christmas morning, we all woke up and had to wait for Philip, Samantha, Mark, Megan, and Max to show up.  To kill our anxiousness and tiredness we were trying everything.  Lucy saw a giant exercise ball in the corner and got really excited. 

                          She loved it and was so excited to play on it with Daddy!

 After inhaling her own sausage for breakfast, Lucy sucked down almost a whole sippy cup of water.

               Opening up her own stocking...she was so excited about new books and bath toys! 

 Opening up her first Christmas gift.  She would tear open some of it and then would just get impatient. 

 One of her gifts was a ball that played music, lit up, and rolled on its own! Lucy loved it! She sat and played with it for long periods of time!

                                  Mid-day on Christmas--everyone is super tired.  Can you tell?

 More Cousin pictures! Doesn't little Autumn look just adorable as little Santa Clause?!

 Lucy was much more interested in what Max got for Christmas.  She would squeal and clap her hands as Max pushed it towards her.  Sometimes you wouldn't know she is a girl by the type of toys she is starting to play with!

 My little naked (because it was so hot in the house) girl.  Isn't she so cute?!

 Lucy is wanting to stand ALL the time now.   She'll crawl over to people sitting, pull on their pant legs and try to stand on her own.  If she's can't, she'll just look up at you with those big blue eyes until you help her stand.

 After all the gifts were opened, Lucy found tissue paper.  She had a blast ripping it into thousands of pieces.  After each rip, she would squeal so loud!

Christmas Eve

Philip, Samantha, and baby Autumn got to to come down on Christmas Eve and we all were so excited to see them  Daddy got to hold Autumn and we both were so amazed how tiny she is. She was five weeks when we saw her and weighed 7 pounds! 

 Cousin picture time!  Grandma picked out some really cute outfits for them to wear.  Aren't they so cute?!

 Trying to get pictures with three children is almost impossible, but everyone still looks pretty cute :)

 After pictures, Lucy was DONE wearing a dress.  She can't crawl in dresses so she gets pretty ticked off wearing them.  So before putting on her jammies, she got to crawl around in her diaper for a while.  Her and Max played underneath the high chair for quite a while!

 Max was really confused why Lucy wasn't wearing any clothes. He kept wanting to touch her and pull at her diaper

 Lucy was SO happy to just be in her diaper and to be able to play with Max.  She was squealing and clapping!

 Lucy saw Philip and Samantha's dog in the window and decided that it was much better if she could look at dogs without them trying to lick her.

When we got home, Lucy got to watch Christmas shows with everyone before going to bed.  She's so sleepy.
