I'm finally starting a new blog, because I want to capture all of the moments that pass so quickly; I'm afraid I'll forget if I don't write them down.
Lucia is now 2 years, 4 months, and her progress has far surpassed the doctors' expectations. She is a "normal" kid, I daresay. She is progressing on track, playing catch up with milestones as she's always done. Once she finally started talking just after her second birthday, she flew through the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes. Picked up word after word, animal sounds. She picks up phrases, repeats me. Loves cats - hugging, kissing them, saying "night night". She is happier to see them than either of us, most times. She is a joy, so much fun, so silly. LOVES books, re-reading them to her animals, to me in the car while driving. She has almost every book memorized, but still she loves to re-read the same books over and over and over. We finally have a routine after work, pickup at daycare at 5PM which is much earlier than in NJ. Go home, make dinner, play, eat together, play more, bath time, reading, bed. She goes to bed by 8PM and is happy to just hang out and sing or sometimes crashes right away. I have time to myself these days, time for us as a couple. Time. And yet I keep neglecting to write. With a blog, I should have no excuses. So I will try. Because now that we've finally gotten a rhythm down, much more time with Lucia, with us, for ourselves, we're expecting baby number two this June. Everything will change, for the happier but also for the crazier. It will be wonderful but exhausting.
So I want this blog to document us, our journey, our children (eek it's crazy to say that), our growing family, as we move into this new phase of our lives. Buying a house around the same time the baby is due, adjusting to life in the South, becoming 4 and not 3. Will update with Lucia pics from birth to current day later, from home.
