Happy Holidays from Lucie!

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Big Sky, Montana, for Christmas. We visited Auntie Kari and Karl with my family and had a great time!

Reading "The Night Before Christmas" with daddy. Grandma Dee and Grandpa Bob recorded themselves reading it so that was a nice surprise!

She got some wonderful presents.

We enjoyed mass outside this year, by the fire pit at Moonlight Lodge.

First try sitting with Santa. A bit scary....

Karl even gave it a try by dressing up, but she didn't like it any better the second time!

Lucie's first time skiing!

A lesson from Auntie Kari.

Daddy taught her a couple of things, too.

Cousin Blair loved the snow, too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCIE!!

This past weekend we celebrated Lucie's 1st birthday. It was a lot of fun, filled with friends and family and lots of treats! She loved her poodle cake and had fun playing with her cousins and friend Julia. It has taken her a couple of days to catch up on sleep but I think we are finally getting back on schedule.

Poodle cake!

She loves her new toy from her cousins, CeCe, Annie and Ollie

Lucie's 1st Halloween

We had a great month of October preparing for Lucie's 1st Halloween. We went to the pumpkin patch with CeCe, Annie and Ollie, carved pumpkins at home and with Grandma Carol. She had a ton of fun wearing her costume and trick or treating. Enjoy!

She kept digging into the candy bucket, and Michael caught her with her mouth full. Not eating it, of course, still in wrapper.

She helped daddy clean out the pumpkin and got a little taste of it, too. :)

We couldn't get her to just sit with the pumpkin Michael carved "LLC (Lucie Lynn Comstock)."
She wanted to touch the candle.

Her friend Julia was a ladybug.

Our little pink poodle!

Lucie is 10 months old!

After a week of Lucie being sick and getting 3 new top teeth in, we have definitely enjoyed this week of good health and the lovely fall weather. We have been taking advantage of the warmer weather by trying to be outside when we can. She loves to play with the mini pumpkins we grew in our garden, as seen below.

She starting taking steps last week and this week has gotten a lot better! She gets very excited when she makes it for a long stretch.

She likes to play dress up. What a ham.

We all laugh at her love for dogs. Wherever we go if she hears dogs barking she barks back.

Me and My Daddy

Here are some things I like to do with my daddy.

Read stories
Ride the lawn mower

Pull his hair!

Take long naps

And I have fun with mommy too....

Here are a couple of things I have been up to lately.

Pulling my toy strings in front of my two bottom teeth (we call it early flossing...)

Clapping, clapping, clapping.

"So Big!"

What I have been up to...........

Standing anywhere I can
Playing really well with my toys

Taking some good naps

Getting into mischief

Ridin' in the car

(she could seriously go for hours in anything with a steering wheel)

Bay Lake and Ottertail Lake

Lucie has been on the go this past week visiting Bay Lake and Ottertail Lake. Some of her new favorite things are: playing in the sand, splashing in the water, trying to eat grass, standing, reading her favorite book "Baby Boo," and eating. She is full of energy and is keeping mom and dad on their toes! Here are some highlights from the past week.

Cousins Annie, CeCe, and Oliver

Playing in the grass

She loved this airplane (it squeaked)

Oddly enough she didn't try to put any sand in her mouth...

Driving the pontoon with Daddy

Not a huge fan of her life jacket!
