Life is so much fun with Lucy right now! When I arrived home from work last night she gave me the biggest smile! She also blew raspberries on my shoulder. That's a first! We have noticed that she really enjoys the feel of new textures. She'll spend minutes just touching the couch or leaves on the tree. And I've found that she loves to dance, as long as I'm singing a silly song while we're dancing. I think the best part is that she coos now when she wakes up. It's so much better to go pick up a cooing rather than a screaming baby. :)
We are working with her on sitting up and eating veggies. She really is getting a lot better at sitting up although a fun toy or seeing Ries can easily distract her and cause her to topple over. As for the veggies, well, I think mommy and daddy are wearing more of the veggies than Lucy gets in her tummy, but we continue to try. So far she has tried peas, carrots and green beans. None of them seem to be particularly enticing to her. I think we will try sweet potatoes next.
Unfortunately Lucy is sick again. She had a cold last weekend and that has developed into a really nasty cough. We took her to the doctor and he said she just has a virus and there's not much to be done. So, daddy is spending his vacation at home with Lucy because we just can't justify taking her to daycare. I can just hear the other parents now 'What kind of parent brings a kid who has the plague to daycare?' :) No thanks!
