4th pix

luci had an eventful weekend! she was surrounded by lots of family and friends and activity and most importantly, was at the center of every event we attended.
it seems as if her personality is coming out in major ways as of late. babbling is becoming constant and she even will say mama now! finally! she has learned to shake her head "no no no" and even mouths it in almost a mocking way when i tell her No! it's hard not to laugh. especially when everyone else around her is.
she has a new game of climbing onto furniture and flinging herself off backwards. she loves it. my brother justin is a sucker for it and caught her time and time again. she could fling herself for hours if she had her way. at home she tried it with me and i said no no no only for her to pitch a fit!
she's very social and charming. we went to dinner last night in oscoda and in walked a huge party of about 40 people. she immediately waved to greet them and as some of the men walked by, she held her little mitt up for high fives. they were all so tickled, which led me to believe they most definitely were all grandpas.
she loves kids, big and small and she played with lots of them this weekend!
below are some pix (complete with captions) from the hylens. forgive me as i'm not feeling witty. even though i was able to relax with lots of help from family, i still feel a bit wiped out from the travel and am happy to be home after four nights away. i finally get it when people say "i need a vacation after my vacation." which is an annoying thing to say (so you'll never hear me saying it) but i think i'll be in bed early tonight!
i took many more pix on my mom's camera upnorth and i'll have to upload those later....
