i don't like to sleep or eat, but if you have something for me to climb, chew, or read, i'm happy!

today was a day of much needed rest (as much rest as one can get with an 8-month old who has a cold and doesn't want to sleep or eat!). we hung out in pjs and lucy climbed and explored, we tried to go for a walk but 40 degrees only sounds warm enough for the bjorn (too windy for us). so we made cookies and read about 25 books and then played on lovey's quilt, in the crib, and on our bed - lucy's latest favorite place to climb and stand and explore the great big world!
she is very fun, even with a cold. such a sweetie.

some recent photos

here is lucy with katie keil - we love that we have lived with katie in berkeley and boulder!
and here is lucy eating brown rice (not the best idea), star "puffs," and raspberries. yum.

oh my...

just a quick note for the grandparents...
i turned around for less than 30 seconds and she was halfway up the first flight of stairs!!!
it's a new day.

laugh attack

believe it or not, i barely caught the tail end of lucy laughing at scott!

look alikes?

i recently found these photos of my mom at 8 months...
and had these taken of lucy at 7 1/2 months!
it was SO fun to get them done.

learning to walk

lucy's crib is a great place for her to learn how to walk - and fall down. we do this everyday!

cruising

lucy loves to be up and about. here she is trying out her legs between her room and ours.

favorite moments

here are a few of my favorite shots from the last few weeks!
lovey and lucy taking a nap outside, papa and lovey playing in the kitchen, lucy and the guys on a walk, annie in the sculpture garden on the cactus tour, uncle jack and lucy playing in the grass, the family photo session, the three of us, and back home - lucy feeding herself grated apple and whole grain rotini pasta!!!
