License to Drive

Lucy and Elliot have started her driving lessons. Golf carts are easy since you don't need to worry about doors or gears, but Lucy's a bit concerned since she can't reach the pedals yet. Details...

Felix the Baby

We got to see Cat, a friend from Haverford, and her son Felix, who's 7 months old, this morning. It was really fun to see how much Felix can do (crawl, for instance) and realize how quickly Lucy will be doing the same. Both babies were full of smiles for each other, which was very cute.

That's Not Lucy!

Yes, it's a rare departure from a Lucy photo, but this sculpture is a new addition to our walk up to campus - Wellesley's been putting it up for the past few days.

Of course, I do also have some shots of Lucy. She's been practicing sitting up, which is still a work in progress (and VERY hard to get a photo of when it's just the two of us). She usually starts out almost supporting herself on her own, but I think her facial expression here captures what hard work it is!

Ultimately, she winds up teetering over onto her side. Oh well!

Another Maryland Moment

While we were visiting my grandparents in Maryland, my Uncle Tom and cousin Katie came to say hello and meet Lucy. They brought Lucy a toy phone (delicious!) and exchanged some smiles with the little lady.

Thanks to Uncle Tom for the photo!

Pirate Lucy

Arr...matey! Aunt Melissa and Lucy played pirate while spending some time together last week. And then Lucy spat up all over Melissa's lap. What a good sport Aunt Melissa is!

Thanks to Stacy for the photo!

"What a Honey"

Lucy was, of course, quite popular with Grandma, Grandpa, and all of their friends, and it was summed up nicely by Grandpa's occasional refrain of "what a honey." She loved his gravelly voice (especially before his morning coffee) and his glasses, and I think he got a kick out of all her wiggling and smiling. Here they are hanging out in his living room and indulging me by posing for the photograph.

Jam!

It turns out that, in addition to water glasses and water bottles (which were a huge help during our travels through BWI and Logan, as well as on the planes), Lucy loves jam jars. While Grandpa tried to put some ginger preserves on his English muffin, Lucy got pretty excited about the jar itself, and the rest of us almost forgot that he was hoping to eat some of its contents.
