Lucy

Born October 6, 2018 Age 7

Six years old and fully aware of her power. Lucy arrived in October with a plan, and she has been executing it ever since. She is fearless in the way that only the third child can be — having watched two older sisters figure out what's allowed, she simply skips that step and does the thing. She is also unexpectedly hilarious. Not on purpose. Which makes it better.

More about Lucy

She took her first steps at ten months and hasn't really slowed down since.

She refers to Rachel as "my baby" with a proprietary confidence that Rachel is beginning to have some thoughts about.

She is the one most likely to say something completely true at the exact wrong moment. The family is learning to appreciate this quality.
