Sweet Lucia turns 5!

Five is a big deal!  This is Lucia at about 5 months of age.

The last year was pretty full of life experiences and new skills.  Kind of crazy to think about it.  Shortly after turning 4, she learned to skip and now she spends much of her day doing just that.  Skipping here, skipping there.  Shortly after that, she learned to ride a pedal bike and she is still going strong with that.  She started learning an instrument (violin/fiddle).  She loves hanging out with her buddies and her brothers.  She is quite the little mama.  She learned to finger and loom knit and is just now starting with the knitting needles.  She told me one day that she was going to be a knitter when she grows up but she was only going to work on one project at a time.  Smart girl! It is hard to keep the girl busy!  Here she is on her birthday.

We celebrated with gelato on her actual birthday and with a few friends over for games, cake and pinata a few days later.  We did a pull string pinata where there was a door that opened the pinata up if the right string was pulled.

Now she's onto swimming, handstands, cartwheels, more violin, more knitting and who knows what else!  She is becoming an awesome adventurer!
