Lucy has been enjoying the beginning of Spring. She has been smiling a lot and really interacting, studying our faces, batting at her toys, and even paying attention to the pictures in a book! She is a happy, happy girl. The above pic of her smiling is from a video I shot. For some reason when the video was transferred to our computer, it was really dark and you could not see her face. Bummer, as the video was cute, but the doctored still shot will have to do. One new thing in the past couple of weeks is that she has been starting to take a bottle once every couple of days, so that when I go back to work, it won't be so traumatic. Of course, Marc loves this as he gets to feed her the bottle. He says, "Time for Papa's milk!" My milk, in a bottle. Lucy has done pretty well with this. At first I thought, "Oh, I am so easily replaced!" but I know it is not that simple. It will be nice for her to not be freaked out by a bottle when I go back to the night shift. I am glad I am only working once a week or so. Lucy will be 8 weeks old on Tuesday, and what a wonderful 8 weeks it has been! Love, Koree
Lucy is well! She is hanging out with me so this will be short. She is growing so fast! She loves the floortime mat that AeSoon let us borrow...it was Stella's (in above pic, with Kaylee and Samantha, Tom and Sarah's daughters). Samantha is about 7 months, and Lucy is not much different in size, though Sam has alot more in the skill department! It is so cute to see how babies are so interested in other babies! Lucy has been out on the town with me a few times, and she has so much fun! It is nice for me, too, to have such a mellow and adaptable baby. She is squaking at me, saying it is time to eat, so unitl next time...love, Koree
I can't believe that it is March! Spring is on its way in and it is nice to feel the weather getting warmer. Spring flowers are popping up and it will be so beautiful when everything is blooming. Lucy is doing great! She started to smile last week and it is so much fun to interact with her and get a response. She will just gaze up at me with interest and smile the cutest smile. Her eyes get all crinkly and everything. I was trying to get a photo, but it is difficult with the delay on my camera. The above blurry shot was the closest that I could get. I love the middle pic, where she is ready to cry..."Momma, I don't want to be here! Pic me up!" She is growing so quickly and is such a joy to be around. She really is a mellow, sweet baby. I have been having her do floor time and tummy time and she is so strong. She loves to look at the black, white and red geometric and animal prints that I have for her, as well as a few of her rattles. On a health note, she is doing fine, and does not have cystic fibrosis, the other serious thing that could have caused her problems. Her pediatrician thought it would be good to have it ruled out. I am so happy that it seems as though her issues were just temporary. I hope that everyone is doing well and loving life. She is squirming upstairs, so I better sign off. Love, Koree
