Spring Mega Post

We have been waiting for the sun to come and have been doing our best to keep busy with the rainy days doing crafts, music, and plenty of giggling. This past week we were lucky to be able to spend time with Auntie Kari in Grand Rapids. She goes back to Bozeman tomorrow and we are going to miss her so much!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mommies!

Giggles

Kari, Karl, Lucie and Blair

Blair got baptized and was throwing kisses the whole time!

Throwing the balls for Rowdy and Jack, grandma and grandpa's dogs.

Playing peekabo!

Lucie can't get enough of "Dix" or Dixie Queen (her real name). Any time we ask her what her name is she says "Dix." Auntie Kari helped her pet Dix.

Lucie found Grandma Carols flower beds and was busy for about 25 minutes making a pile of dirt, dumping it out, over and over.

We were in Brainerd on Sunday to say goodbye to Auntie Kari.

Cuddles with Grandpa...

Reading with Grandma...

Uncle Erik being silly, as always.

Lucie's First Haircut!

Lucie got her first haircut this weekend. It was an exciting morning for us (tear)! She sat on daddy's lap and got a trim in the back (had a little mullet going) and some bangs cut. She looks like a little toddler now and is growing so fast.

Not so sure about this...

We ended up giving her yogurt treats so that did the trick.

We took advantage of the warmer weather and made a snowman today. After I took this picture she proceeded to take out the carrot and take bites.

She is now drinking out of a "big girl" cup.

We got the ok to give her peanut butter so she loves it on toast with jam.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Lucie has been a busy little bee lately. Into everything, climing on everything, etc. Wow. Here are a couple of recent pictures.

Dressed up as a ballerina for daddy on Valentine's Day.

Likes to push, kiss, and hug her "dolly."

Always wants me to put gloves on her hands (don't mind the Xmas tree in the background this was a while ago)...

and hats too.

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!
Julia and Lucie


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!

Ollie, CeCe, Lucie and Annie


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.
