Lucy, our fiesty girl. Our sweet, opinionated, determined little spirit.
You have, in the words of a family friend, personality plus. You are determined and tough, and happiest when in the limelight. You like to dance and climb and jump and run. I laugh at myself because when I found out you were going to be a girl I had a lot of images of the sweet demure little girls I know - sitting quietly playing with dolls or drawing pictures. I thought, this will be an interesting change from my rough and tumble rowdy boys. Ha! Demure, you are not. Of all our children, at 18 months you are the most active, the most coordinated and the most energetic. You still love your thumb and you're a blanket baby, rubbing the silky corner between your fingers while you sleep.
The other day your Nonny (JP) was holding you and she exclaimed: We all thought you guys were crazy to have another child, but it turns out you were the smartest. It was such a good idea to have this girl! She's right. It was a good idea. And now none of us can remember what life was like without you. You have brought a special spark of light to our family and we are so glad you're here.

Oh Lucy!! I do believe you and Charlie Ann were cut from the same cloth... and I'm certain that sweet timid Aden will fall madly in love with you... but he'll be too shy ever to tell you!
She is getting more and more beautiful as the months roll on. I can't wait to get to know her!
