Lucy Love
Well, what do you know. The new year is here and it’s been over a month since I’ve posted! I’m okay with that. I’m just going to pick up with life as it is and try to blog about a few things here and there to fill in the gaps.
Lucy love is 6 months old.
I was just saying to Sam this morning that something crazy happens around this age. We really do not have a little (okay…maybe she was never very “little”), babe on our hands, but this lively, chatty, squealing, interactice butter-ball of a big girl. Really. She’s like a little person all of a sudden and is doing such big-baby things. I am so thankful for a content baby and she has added so much joy to our family! God is showing me things being a mother of three…..and I am slowly learning….but HE is good and is faithful and patient with me for that I am grateful. I’m seeking to abide in His faithfulness and trust that the good He began will be completed.
I am also finally am getting Lucy’s room the way I’ve wanted it, which is so fun. With the other two I never really was able to do exactly what I’d hoped for (which is fine….really…all a baby needs is little drawer to sleep in a warm blanket, right?). So I feel like it’s an extra treat to be able to put some sweet touches to re-vamp the “nursery” that all three kiddos have had now.
The wall color has remained the same, but the curtains got a facelift. Much to my excitement, the hubs got the curtain rod back up and anchored, (after our oldest had pulled it down about two years ago…ugh.) I was given some beautiful vintage bed sheets (thanks Mikaela, that were just as bright and crisp as could be, and knew exactly they would be used for Lucy’s room. I simply cut the flat sheet in half, hemmed the un-finished edge, and created the casing for the rod at top. I kept the brown curtains up as well - they bring out the earthy brown in the sheets and give a little balance to the airy-ness of the room, I think:)
That little orange mirror was a thrift store find. I just sprayed it orange and nailed that baby up. It might be my favorite thing in her room (besides the little munchkin herself:))
I know you see this all over pinterest these days, but honestly, I just love this look. I have been collecting, (and have been given) some embroidery hoops for awhile now. I used some of the curtain fabric, and then just pieced together other colors from some scraps I had. I even used some brown and orange vintage tuille that I re-purposed from some old kitchen valances that I found while thrifting.
I’m not quite done with her room - I’d like to put up some enlarged prints and do something different on some hanging shelves, but it’s so fun to work on this space for my littlest one! For all the “leftovers” and “hand-me-downs” she’ll get, it was great to be able to make a room special just for her. I’m thankful for the little blessings God has given us to make it possible.
Showing off her big-girl eating skills! She’s chowing the baby cereal these days.
Loving her time with daddy too!
Working on those “sitting-up muscles”. My kids are all so chunky around this age that it takes awhile for them to master the art of sitting-up, crawling, etc….but I’m okay with that! She doesn’t seem to mind yet.
This post was a little Lucy heavy I guess! More to come! Thanks for checking in and reading, (family, closest friends, and those who just love to blog stalk…JK!)
Thanks for the lovely memories. I love reading your blog as I can hear your sweet voice and heart in each word. I can’t believe she is getting so ‘old’ already though. Gotta keep an eye on those beauties (and Truman too of course)...they’re growing up way to fast!
