An Update on Lucy

I realized that I've been neglecting poor old Lucy on the blog lately, and found a few photos from the end of the summer to share.

We hit up Storyland again this year, and Lucy got to connect with her friend, The Woman in the Shoe:

We then headed to Islesboro for some R&R.  Here are Elliot and the kids enjoying the ferry ride over.  We made the last boat of the day by about 20 minutes, which is closer than we usually cut it:

Lucy also got to go on her first sailboat ride with my dad:

She has come a long way in her appreciation of boating. 

Now, Lucy's launched at her new preschool and having a blast.

The Book and Paper Phase

Griffin is now in the stage where he will play and gnaw on many things, but books and their paper pages are especially compelling:




He was sitting on my lap playing with a toy while I tried to read - silly me!

Griffin Goes Driving

Griffin and I were waiting in the car for Elliot and Lucy and decided to showcase his fairly recent sitting skills:

Griffin's First Tooth

It's not out enough to be photographed yet, but Griffin's first tooth is coming in! He's had a few uncharacteristically fussy moments recently, but he does like his icy chew toy:




You can see from that picture that his dexterity is also improving, though we still have some work to do:

Our Giggly Guy

Lucy's in the Berkshires with Eema and Saba for 6 nights, and Elliot and I are both missing her an awful lot. Fortunately, we still have giggly Griffin:

What a delight! He is a smiley fellow, especially for Lucy, and is so incredibly mellow. While he's not quite the same champion-level sleeper that Lucy was at this age, he's starting to go through the night more these days.

More Summer Travel

The kids and I have went down to Maryland to visit Grandma two weekends ago. We got to have some fun time in the pool with Grammy and Uncle Henry:




Then some more family came to visit and Lucy got to meet another second cousin, baby Hannah:




You can see that Lucy continues her love of lemons.

Finally, we headed out to the Berkshires for a couple of nights to see Eema and Saba, and discovered how fun the beach can be when you're three:

A Trip to the Dentist

Lucy's getting her teeth cleaned today. She's a fourth generation dental patient at Dedham Medical Associates. We're in the same space as the orthodontist - still the same doctor who straightened my teeth 20 years ago.
