she is my slow mover... so content to stay a baby. she is just barely pulling herself up and isn't even tempted to cruise along.. no matter how exciting a toy i put just out of her reach. :) she has a light that fills your heart.. she has truly been the easiest, sweetest little baby i could ever imagine. in my heart she is still the little 3 week old peanut that trekked italy with me... and yet as i balance her on my hip i feel the full weight of a year gone bye. the first pictures i took of her, like these..., held the promise of knowing a little one from the inside out.. and now i do. i know what each cry means. i can understand her babbles for what she is yearning to say. i know which games she likes and which tickles make her shriek with laughter. she will always be my baby.. but now she is also my little girl. :)
happy birthday to my sweet little lucienne brooke.
( ps.. it's pronounced loo-see-N.. i realized some people have been thinking her name is loo-seen ;))
like your name promises.. you refresh our family every day with your smile and sweet spirit. your kisses and pats on our back. your dancing and your squeals of delight. we adore you lulu. :)
