Smarty pants

My little girl is getting so big! I was just tucking her in for her afternoon nap and we were cuddling in our bed reading books. She definately has her favorites that we read all the time, and then those that she will let me read a page or two before she shuts it and says "awww done". One of her favorite books is a counting in the desert book that Grandpa and Grandma Koops brought back for her from Arizona. As she holds the book and turns the pages, she reads it backwards and tells me the 5 owls "who, who", and then the 4 geckos "scoot, scoot", the 3 road runners "hot, hot", and then 2 tortoises "meet".........which amazingly enough is exactly how the story goes! She read me the book, and I understood everything that she meant!



She is definately a smart one, and this is how she amazes me everyday!



I posted a couple pictures of Lucy, her first (and only) meeting with Santa. She definately doesn't want Santa to touch her, but she'll take the gift, and later point at him and say "ho-ho". She also walks around our house most of the day with her shirt pulled up. She loves to rest her belly on anything cold; the fireplace, garage door.... This picture was especially cute because it's the first time she put on her cowboy boots. I think they are just too cute, but she has resisted putting them on, until now. We put on some music and I got her to dance on the fireplace marble. Those boots make the best noise, just like my Sunday shoes that I used to dance on my fireplace with. The last picture is Lucy supporting her daddy's Pistons. He was so excited when we surprised him with that outfit and Lucy saying "pissons"! Please tell me you all knew how big of a game is on tonight?!
