-playing with her cousins. She loved this! She even asks where "Ki-en" is now, meaning her youngest cousin Keegan.

-walking down memory lane(literally). Lucy got to see lots of Mommy and Daddy's old hangouts and special places in STL this trip. It was kind of surreal but also super special to share these with her. We hit up the pond, the blacktop, the common grounds, the sewer and more.

-eating of course! Lucy tried a bit of EVERYTHING at our Thanksgiving meal. Smoked fish, turkey, cranberries, spinach casserole, potatoes of all kinds, and stuffing. She loved the pumpkin pie that Daddy and Madeline and Ellie made :)
-Getting to see all her friends and family. She even said Aunt "Bear" for Blair for the first time.
-Falling head over heels in love with her grandparents. Lucy would say their names (mostly, we are still working hard on Grammy!), run over to them and give them kisses, jump in their arms for hugs, play with them, be concerned when they left the room, and more. This was such a cool thing to see her so into her grandparents, since she really does have the best ones a girl could ask for.
21 Months
Lucy also just turned 21 months and is nearing 2! Here are some highlights of the month and what she's up to:
-saying so many words and funny phrases including: "yuv you" (love you), "peas" (please), thank you, "wha appen" (what happened, and in a very concerned tone...this is her catchphrase now!), and much more. She is starting to string more and more words together for sentences too.
-cutting down our Christmas tree! Lucy got to go with us for the first time and it was awesome. We had great 50 degree sunny weather in the foothills and no snow, so it was easy for all of us to maneuver. It was one of my favorite memories we've made so far and we loved decorating with her too. She now comes in the room and shouts "tree on!" if the lights are off. She's in love with the tree and it is so cute. She even helped place some ornaments on the tree by telling us "here" and pointing to where it should go.
-Breaking out her snow suit for the first time, for the measly .10 inches we got one day (we are seriously paying for this no snow thing later on!). Let's just say strangers were chuckling at her in this outfit and mentioning 'Christmas Story' references.
-Lucy's Favorite things: reading, playing ball, "swimming" in the bath tub, taking walks, the park, "Mi Mow" (which means Mickey mouse and he might be edging out the Melmo love).
We took some fun Fall photos and some good ones from our tree hunt/decorating. We also caught some Lucy cuteness on video for you. Check it all out here: 21 Months
Hope you're enjoying the season!
Love,
The Finglands
