Lucy Finding Her Voice

What Lucy Has Been Up To

Playing with her dad (and quite successfully imitating his face)

Going for a lot of walks

Growing too long for newborn sleepers

Complaining about her baby acne

Adoring being carried everywhere

Basking in her aunts doting presence

Practicing her smile

Seeking the sunlight (our stairs are the sunniest place in our house, and her favorite spot)

One Month Old

Learning Together

Lucy and I just finished our first independent week. Grandparents are gone and Mike is back at work. Despite some trepidation, Lucy and I have had a really delightful week. We are both learning a lot. Lucy learned to smile on demand, to enjoy diaper changes, how to make her mom dread bath time, to enjoy being carried in a wrap around mom, and the power of her voice to coo and captivate a doting mom. I learned to navigate the computer with my toe, how to bounce, sway, bob, and pat all at the same time, to give up a house that is all clean all of the time, to sleep sitting up, how to utilize fabulous people for support, and I learned that I am so in love with this little girl.

Meeting Grandma Wecker

But, lest it appears all giggles and coos, there is a bit of this as well...
