Lucy is growing up

Lucy is growing up so fast (so is Jaydon for that matter - sheesh, where does the time go?)!

Lucy has started really wanting to read aloud to us and it is a lot of fun to watch.  She doesn't know the words but makes up the story as she goes from memory (or just looking at the pictures) and thoroughly enjoys holding the book facing out and turning pages.  In these pics she moved her little rocking chair over so that she could read to me while I worked in the kitchen. 

I had to snap these shots of her playing a game of Candy Land by herself.  I vividly remember Jaydon doing this and working his way up the board with both Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders.  Here Lucy took her little red guy all the way up to the castle turning a card and following the color every time.  It was pretty cute to peek in on and see her doing this.
