Going Bananas

Lucy and Elliot went to the market recently, and Lucy discovered the joys of chewing on bananas. She's only got two teeth, but those gums sure are firm!

Bear in a Pumpkin Patch

I'm catching up on my blogging, so here's another post! We went out to Drumlin Farm today and Lucy got to wear her bear costume and frolick with pumpkins. It was all pretty adorable.

Gramps and Mimi Get Married

Lucy has been to her first wedding! We went up to Maine over Columbus Day weekend in order to attend my dad and Elaine's wedding. There were just a few of us who knew they were going to get married - the rest of the guests were told mere moments before it happened. While Lucy actually fell asleep before the ceremony itself, she was very excited to take part in the pre-wedding photos. We're very happy for the newlyweds.

She Kneels

Look what Lucy can do! We put her in her crib and stepped out of the room. Moments later, there was lots of laughter, and there was Lucy kneeling at and shaking the bars, and finding the whole thing hilarious. She liked it even more once she had an audience. Our first reaction was total glee, but our second was: how do we lower the crib mattress, again?


Lucy has sprouted her second tooth and is still very much enjoying chewing on things. She's also incredibly curious about her surroundings and motivated to begin crawling. It's just the mechanics that are standing in her way now. We sure enjoyed our freedom while it lasted.

Lucy Goes Shopping

Lucy can now sit in big-girl highchairs and the seats in supermarket carts like a champ. This makes life a lot easier for us, and she is having a blast with it too.

In other news, our little lady has a tooth! It's not easily photographed yet, but it's very sharp.

Harvest Festival Fun

We were out in the Berkshires over the weekend, and had a great afternoon at a local Harvest Festival yesterday afternoon. There was all sorts of fun stuff going on (mostly things that Lucy will appreciate in years to come), and it was a beautiful fall day. Here's a shot captured by one of our papa razzi:

And for those of you more interested in the festival, here's a shot of the professional (!) hoola-hooper we got to see. Considering I can't hula a hoop for more than one or two rounds, her skills were pretty incredible. In this shot she's hula-hooping while kneeling, but she got there and is about to get back up without interrupting her hula.
