Solids, Sorta

Cereal is Lucy's new thing this week. Several people have suggested that it's time for her to eat something other than milk, so we are trying out cereal. She does make a rather odd face when we spoon the cereal into her mouth, but I'm pretty sure that's because she has absolutely no idea what to do with it once it's in there. For this reason, I think the majority of it ends up on her rather than in her tummy, but she seems to enjoy trying it.

Grouchy = Growing?

Our naturally sweet Lucy has been incredibly grouchy this week. Normally she laughs and coos when we change her diaper, but this week she is demonstrating her crotchety side. The daycare workers say she must be growing. Well, I hope she doesn't act this way every time she grows or we have a long road ahead of us. :)

Color Wheel

Yesterday the daycare workers informed me that Lucy loves to look at contrasting colors as she is twisting her head 180 degrees in my arms to look at the giraffe on the wall. I think they're right. :)

Shrieking

Lucy has now learned how to shriek. She doesn't do it very much, so I think she's having trouble figuring out how to reproduce the oh-so-fun ear piercing noise. Maybe we can have one more week or two of peace and quiet until she figures this out. :)

Growing like a weed

Lucy is officially out of 0-3 month clothes. I put her in a long sleeve 0-3 month onesie last night and the sleeves only came to her elbows. I must have been sleeping when this happened! How did she get so big?

Poor baby

Lucy came down with her first cold last week. She was so pitiful. Fortunately she seems to be feeling much better now and is back to her old ornery self. :)

All wet!

Lucy's favorite new thing is bath time. She loves the sound of her feet splashing the water. She just kicks her feet and waves her hands as fast as she possibly can. It's so much fun.

It's hard to believe ...

that Lucy is almost 3 months old! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital and I was so afraid she was going to smother herself in her sleep because her clothes were too big. Now she is wearing 3-6 month clothes and they're almost too small. This little girl is so long!

She's really starting to get a personality of her own lately! Last night I read her Goodnight Moon and she just sat in her Bumbo seat and laughed. I never realized Goodnight Moon was so funny! The pictures are starting to intrigue her now. She just stares at the page as if it's the most interesting thing in the world. I wonder what she's thinking ...
