Lacy is adorable. It's hard for me to believe right now that Lacy is over 14 months old. Last night Katie and I were talking about this, and it just seems that time is flying by. Back before she was born I was excited about her arrival, but I never imagined the deepness of how important she is. Every day I look forward to getting her out of bed and playing with her and every evening I look forward to seeing her after work. I know that raising a baby can be a little difficult at times, but it really isn't that bad at all. The few tough nights or days are so easily outweighed by the times when she lays her head against your chest and falls asleep, or when she comes and attacks you with kisses. Katie and I just sit with her and watch how hard she plays with Baxter, her toys and us and we love it. I can't imagine not having her around now, she is such an important part of who I am now.

When I first started this blog I stated that I planned to keep doing the things that we had always done, just bring her with us. So far, I'm happy to say that is how we have pretty much been. Lacy goes everywhere with us and does everything. Yes, we are lucky. She is a good girl and doesn't cause huge nuisances when we take her places, but she does still act her age. But the thing is that I believe she wants to do things things with us and wants to take part in all our activities too. I won't say that we do everything that we used to, because of course with an infant there are some things that you simply can't do. But there aren't many things that can't be done. So I guess what I'm saying is that for those of you who are thinking of having kids but worried about the hardship don't worry. Just be relaxed, don't stress and have fun with your little ones. Take them places with you, have fun together. Having a child has been the best thing to ever happen to us. (I'll keep you updated over the next few years however, I do reserve the right to change my mind:) )
