Big Steps for Our Little Pumpkin!!!

After months of speculation (and occasional worry) Miss Lucy is finally walking. She took her first steps on her own last week, and on the eve of Halloween, she let go and hasn't looked back since. Though she's still unsteady--and a bit bow-legged--she's progressing every day. Pretty soon, I'm sure we won't be able to stop her. Even before she began walking, she discovered the fun of climbing.

Luce has also begun to play peek-a-boo with us. Every time we say, "Where's Lucy?" she covers her eyes with her hands. She also likes to quack like a duck and roar like a lion. I suppose from the outside we look like crazy, overly-proud parents, but there's nothing better than hearing her little roar and seeing her little hands cover her eyes. Melts our heart every time!

Hi there,

I was doing genealogical research on the Copeland branch of my family when I found your page. Given the fact that you are in SC and that your daughter has two family names in addition to the Copeland family name, I'd bet that we are distant cousins. My great-grandmother was a Copeland from Clinton, SC. She had Adairs in her background. In fact, we're thinking of using Adair as a name for our next child...

In any case, congratulations on a beautiful daughter. My own daughter is now 2 1/2 and we've got another one on the way (a boy!).

Congrats on walking to Lucy and good luck keeping up with her now!
