The Harmelings

Oh life has been so dang busy at Casa de Harmeling that I didn’t get a chance to share every tiny detail of Lucy’s first 6 months on my blog. But don’t you worry, I can sum it all up quite easily, in just one little word.

SCREAMING.

We love her so, and she is so cute when she is sleeping, but she spent most of her waking moments during the first 6 months screaming. Seriously, a lot of screaming. And barfing. It was pretty rough. But one great thing about having a second child is that you have done this before. You know there is light at the end of the tunnel, that every day is not going to be this rough. And for us, we knew that no matter how much barfing and screaming happened each day, she was going to be so much better at 8 months. To me, 8 months is when it all gets good.

So forget that we referred to her as the devil spawn for 180 days, because today our little juicy Lucy is 8 months old. And she is dang cute. She celebrated by standing up. Check it out, we are oh-so-proud.
