What a daughter.

Just another week of having fun getting to know our sweet little Lucy.

One week with Lucy

Lucy loves to have her hair washed.

I'm convinced that she loves these baby leggings as much as I do.

Lucy loved hanging out with her mimi.

She snoozed through her first stroll around the block.

She had a great time getting to know Aunt Melanie.

Cousin Maria gave Lucy a check up.

Mom and dad have to take turns snuggling with Lucy in the evening because she is so cuddly.

It was hard to say bye to mimi- but we're thinking of ways to trick her into coming back before thanksgiving!

Saying bye to Aunt Melanie.

Abue and Papa with all of their grand-babies.

After one week of having Lucy in our family- we are convinced that she is the best baby. We are head over heels in love with this little girl. We are having so much fun getting to know her.

Meet Lucy.

Allow me to introduce you to Lucy Jema Swanson and tell you a little about how she got here...

At 3am on Sunday October 11th she let her mom and dad know she would like it to be her birthday by making sure mom was well aware that her water was broken. By 4am mom was at the hospital- by 8:30 am mom was politely begging for her epidural- by 10 am Grandma Sally-'Mimi' had arrived and by 1:30pm mom was ready to start pushing while all of Lucy's granparents waited outside and finally at 2:18pm Lucy was here!

Lucy weighed in at 7lbs 1oz, 19inches long... 9 out of 10 on her Apgar scale (we won't expect 10 out of 10s until she starts kindergarten) She was the only baby born at Lewisville Medical Center on 10/11 so she got lots of extra attention.

Her dad was a great coach through the labor and has already proved to be one of Lucy's very favorite people. He is a natural Daddy and has taken lots of good care of mom too.

Lucy's 'mimi' Sally has been taking lots of care of mom and cooking lots of yummy meals.

Lucy can't wait for her Abue to start teaching her Spanish.

Papa Tim is checking out Lucy's basketball grip.

Grandpa Dale is already spoiling Lucy with fun gifts and lots of hugs.

Lucy is all ready to learn good things from her new friend Daelyn

Lucy's favorite activities so far are sleeping and eating.

She was very stylish for her trip home from the hospital today 10/13/09

^ Here's a shot of Lucy waving to all of her fans out there.....

She's gotten the tour of her new living arrangements (which are much more spacious) and she's settling in great.
