Where to start....Patrick just re-enlisted in the Marine Corps! I'm very proud of him and he's doing great at his new unit. Hopefully he will be promoted to Ssgt some time next year. So far, it's looking like he will be deploying in October which we are so not looking forward to. Right now, it's looking like he will be here for Lucy's first birthday, but knowing the marine corps, it can always change. We're keeping our fingers crossed!
Lucy is almost 4 months old now! Last week, she sat up for the first time unassisted. Of course I was sitting right next to her since after 10 seconds she started to fall, but I was pretty proud. =] She was weighed and measured yesterday. She weighs 15lbs 4oz and she's 25in long. She's right on track with where she should be! You would think that with that weight she'd be growing out of her clothes quickly, but she's just like daddy...long and skinny! She's still wearing some of her 0-3 clothes and her 3 month stuff.
As I write this, Lucille is laying here by me, "talking" away. It's funny because if you're not looking directly at her, she'll start cooing and it will start to sound more and more shrill until you look at her. And as soon as you do, it's all smiles. haha
And me? Well I'm just staying home with Lucy still. I've been filling my time with all things Lucille. Which includes making her bows (it can be expensive to buy them!), taking pictures, and just lovin on her all day. As long as we're doing fine, I'll most likely stay at home with her until he returns from his deployment. After he comes back and we spend time together as a family, I'll be going back to work (at one of the child development centers on base) and she'll also be going into a center. It'll be interesting!
And here's some pictures for today of my little baby:

Oh my gosh!! I am so glad you did this! I can finally see that sweet, beautiful Lucille!! She is just adoreable and as us Rileys say, "I could just eat her up!!!" I can't wait to meet you and Lucille! You both seem so wonderful as is our Patrick. Please add me to your facebook friends too if you will. Thank you for keeping your long distance family up to date!!
