March in a Nutshell.....

Anyone else ready for Spring? I know that technically it's already Spring, but I'm talking about warm weather, blossoms, tulips, green grass, etc. That's what I'm ready for. This past month has been a little challenging. Jordan has been crazy busy with his accounting internship and night classes. I finally got really tired of my back hurting all the time and decided it was time to get serious about fixing it. I have been going to physical therapy three times a week for three weeks now. While I can definitely feel a difference, each appointment takes over two hours. This means that on the days I have physical therapy, I don't get home until 6:30. That gives me an hour-and-a-half to see Lucy before she goes to bed. Definitely NOT enough. Also, little Lucy has been teething for the last week. She is little miss grumpy pants during the day, and up every 2-3 hours at night. I feel so bad for her. I hate seeing her so miserable. Now that I've just been a major whiner, I'm going to look on the bright side. Jordan finishes his internship on April 15th. He's gotten great accounting experience and could possibly end up with a job offer. I must say that it has been nice to have two incomes as well :) While the physical therapy is pretty time-intensive, I am definitely feeling a difference in my pain level. Now that I'm done nursing I am finally starting to lose my baby weight! Woo woo. Even though Lucy is teething, she's still darn cute. See, life really is good.

March is a big birthday month for me and Jordan. Scott's birthday is on the 15th, Jordan's dad's is on the 18th, our sister-in-law, Jessica's is on the 20th, and Jordan's mom's is on the 21st. Hence, there has been much celebrating. Also, my dad served his mission to Ireland so we do St. Patrick's Day big time at our house. I love holidays and birthdays because they give us an excuse to break up some of the monotony of daily life and CELEBRATE! Here are some pictures I took this month.

Lucy in the tub with Emma. We just put her in her Bumbo and it floats like a raft. Lucy LOVES her cousins, Abbi and Emma. Every time she sees them she squeals and laughs and is SO excited. It's really cute to see the bond they are already forming.
This is what I see most mornings. It doesn't matter how many times I take that little quilt off her face. She just puts it right back over her face. Should I be concerned?
Scott on his 27th birthday. I had to post this picture because he looks ridiculously freaky.
He was very excited about all his presents.
Lucy in her St. Patrick's getup.

Seven Month Picture Shoot..

I love talented people. I especially love talented people who are willing to share their talents with others. While we were in Vancouver, my cousin's wife, Michelle, offered to take pictures of Lucy. She recently started a photography business and is working on building her portfolio. You mean you want to take pictures of my baby?? For free?? Well......OKAY!!! She took SO many cute pictures, but I won't inundate you with them all. Here are some of my favorites. If you're ever in Vancouver and want some great pictures, check her out at michellecervophotography.
