(other than Brandon, of course)
Lucy is such a special little girl. I feel so lucky to be her mother.
When I am sad or frustrated, she is always right there consoling me and giving me comfort. "It's OK, Mom." She gives me so many hugs and kisses; I can't get enough, and neither can she.
When I was especially stressed and overwhelmed while our family was working ourselves raw to get Brandon's office ready, my dad offered to take Lucy home with him to the bay area for a few days. Selfishly, I couldn't part with her. I needed her comfort and positivity to give me strength.
This morning, when Brandon and I groggily dragged ourselves out of bed to answer the heed of a nagging Lucy, she was so full of energy and love to give. Brandon asked me, "Does it just make you so happy being around her every day?" Yes.
Today, while eating breakfast, Brady asked me what we were going to do today. I told him I wasn't sure because I am not feeling so good (slightly nauseous, don't know why). Lucy leans over to me and says, "I'll help you Mom. It's OK. You can have my heart blanket." She loves to help.
Lucy is always more than friendly with everyone, almost to the point where it can get uncomfortable with strangers. She is sure to say an enthusiastic "Hello!" to everyone we pass by.
Now that we'll have two boys and one girl in our family, I keep thinking how sad I'll be if Lucy is the only daughter I have, simply because she's been such a joy. I always assumed we'd have multiples of each. But, I have to say that Lucy has given us a perfect dose of girl. I love her!

What a sweet little post. She seems like such the nurturer. Those pictures are so cute of the both of you.
I'm glad you guys have read the Fancy Nancy books. They're so cute for little girls.
What a doll. I always thought i would have two and two, but here I am with one little girl and 3 boys. I already see the boy chaos begining. I hope she continues to give joy and i am sure she will be a little mommy to this next one coming.
That's so sweet! Makes me more excited to have a girl! Still waiting...
That is so sweet. I can't wait to have my little buddy Carson following me around.
I can totally relate to this post. While I think my Bean might have more sass in her than Lucy, she's really such a joy and comfort to me. Such a happy and sweet girl. Today I was on the phone with the cable company and getting annoyed at the crappy customer serv. {I wasn't yelling, but definitely agitated} and she comes up, grabs both sides of my face, pull me in real close and says "be calm mom. be calm..." She's been doing this a lot lately and it totally cracks me up.
I've always been terrified to have a girl. If I do get pregnant with a girl...I'm reading this post over and over and over and over and over and then coming to you (or Lucy) for advice and reassurance! This was wonderful!
