Love Letters to Lucy- Sept 2023

 Dearest Lucy! I just came across these pictures of you covered in blueberries last September-- it made me smile because not much has changed except the weather. One of your first words was blueberry (pronounced bl-oo-b-bba-ies) .. they have become a ritual and you have recently learned to climb up in the fridge and open it and get on a chair to try and get them. You are so spunky these days and not loving the high chair, you are starting to be vocal about sitting up to the big table with your brothers but your so messy and I'm not as ready for that transition. It feels like you are always eating and wanting food and growing way too fast. We love you, our blueberry girl! love, mom
