Lacy is getting bigger and smarter every day! She is so much fun to be around and play with. She is now feeding herself cheerios and other small pieces of food, and she had a great time trying to eat pieces of a banana this weekend in Starkville.

Katie and I can really tell that she is growing both physically and mentally. It's almost like you can see her thinking through things such as how to turn something over to climb on it or put something in the right place. And she seems to get frustrated at times in trying to tell us things. It's almost like she knows what she is trying to tell us but we just can't get it. And I thoroughly believe that she thinks she knows what she is telling us, unfortunately it comes out as this cute baby talk. She is still doing well with her sign language and can tell us things like when she is hungry, wants milk or more food. Katie is working on introducing new sign language to her everyday to help her be able to let us know what she needs or wants. I never would have believed that it works, but it really does.

Lacy turned one a few weeks ago and I could not be happier having her with us. She is just pure joy to be with and have around. I really do love that little girl. I just can't believe how quickly she is growing up. But right now I enjoy every day. One of the greatest things in the world is to have her throw her arms around my neck and just hug me and give me a kiss. It's so sweet.

As far as news goes there's no big changes around the Ferrell household these days. Everything is going well. My practice is growing and Katie is busy with a new condo project in Starkville. And Lacy and Baxter chase each other around the house seeing who can give more kisses. We're all looking forward to halloween and the fall season.
