More visitors!

This past week, we had a lovely visit with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Billee.  She flew in from Philly on Sunday and we spent three wonderful days eating, laughing and shopping.  It was great having someone around who was enthusiastic about changing diapers!  We were sad to see her leave.

These days Lucy spends a lot of time talking.  It's so wonderful to hear her respond when you speak to her.  She's only got a few googley words she utters, but she's good with different intontaions.  She's also discovered spit bubbles and the joy of her tongue.  She's got it sticking out a lot these days.

Friday was Lucy's two-month check-up with vaccinations.  I had intended to research possible alternative vaccination schedules, but as with several sewing projects, it never happened.  I'm still hoping to get to it before the four-month check-up.  She handled the three shots so well.  It was hard watching her deal with the initial shock and pain, but I'm pretty sure she's already forgotten it.  After having a fever for two days, she was back to her smiley self by this afternoon.  And what better Father's Day present is there than a big, toothless grin?

We're looking forward to tomorrow when Aunt Lydia comes to visit for a week!  I'm sure there will be lots more to write about next Sunday.

Two months and counting

So it's been a few weeks since I last posted any updates.  Since then, Lucy seems to have put on three more rolls on each thigh.  This past week we had a wonderful time visiting with my sister, Bekah, who was visiting from Pennsylvania.  Although it seemed like we were running crazy most days, my list of things to see and do still wasn't fulfilled.  I guess I need to get used to this.  We did make it to Yummy Cupcake and had a great picnic in Griffith Park, complete with a very close coyote sighting.  I promised Andy I would keep my distance from coyotes if I was with the baby and I'm proud to say that we did turn and go around the scruffy  fellow.  

Below are some pictures from the last three weeks.  I look forward to posting more in the next two weeks of visits from Billee and Lydia.  Yay!

We had a photographer come to the house when Lucy was 8 weeks.  This was the first in our family pose.  Lucy had just emptied her bladder on us.  I'm just amazed it wasn't worse.
