Storytime and friends (real and stuffed)

It's been a fun week. Lucy is growing every day (she weighed 9 pounds 10 ounces at her doctor's appt today!), is much more alert, and has been smiling at us more and more. Often after nursing she and I will have some quality time, talking to each other and smiling (Elizabeth: I love you! Lucy: gah. Elizabeth: How are you this morning? Lucy: gehh.)

Matt has been wonderful about reading Lucy stories. Here she is enjoying his rendition of "Cat in the Hat".


"I love storytime!"
Our aunt Lee (aka Labor Coach of the Year, Amazing Indispensible Helper in Times of Great Need, and all around fun friend) stopped by to visit on Monday, so we finally have a picture of her with Lucy.

Our friends Heather and Alainie came by to meet the little munchkin yesterday, bringing a delicious dinner and dessert as well. Here is Heather practicing her mom skills (her little girl is due in July!).


Lucy sporting the beautiful hat Alainie knit for her, while Alainie reads "Lentil" to her (one of her in utero nicknames, since Lucy was once the size of a lentil bean).

And now onto the stuffed friends. Lucy continues to enjoy the mobile. Now she reaches out for it with her arms, and gets very excited about the little floating animals.



And to close, another cute picture of our little sweet pea.

Oh she's so so so precious. I can't wait to meet her. She seems so alert and really sweet. What a gem!

great to see all the pictures with her eyes open and focusing, soaking in the love. :)

So today Lucy is 111 (1 month, 1 week and 1 day old). In just a year, she will be 1111. That will be special, never to be repeated. She can look forward to 222, 2222, 333, 3333, 444 and 4444. But that will be the end. These are the kinds of birthdays we should be celebrating.

I can definitely see some Matt in her face in that last picture!
