Lucy and I had a great time visiting my folks. Unfortunately I had a bad cold, but it gave them an opportunity to bond with Lucy (she took a nap on every member of the family except for Sam). I really enjoyed having quality time together. A few highlights:
-reconnecting with Sam, who I hadn't seen since he was 4 months old (he's now 13 months). I loved dancing with him to klezmer music, holding him upside down, and watching him explore the world.
-delicious meals together, including a beef and prune/fig tagine
-Sam pumping his fist in the air when he's excited
-wonderful TLC from my mom especially
-a visit to the hammam (public bath/spa) with Caitlin and mom
-a trip to the medina (market place)- Lucy was all eyes, taking everything in
-Sam being really cute with Lucy. He gave her one of his toys at one point, and also put a tissue to her face to help blow her nose (we had been doing that to him all week). :)
Lucy did really well on the flights, thankfully. She was quite a trooper- slept the whole way over, and loved looking at passengers and everything in the airport.
I'll post more pictures soon. In the meantime, here's one of her in a smock Caitlin and John got for her.
In other news, I went back to work on Wednesday. It was nice to be back- I'll be working 1 day a week in the office and 4 days from home, 20 hours/week total. Lucy still hasn't taken a bottle, so she didn't eat while I was away on Wednesday (6 1/2 hours), but she and Matt survived (with moral support from my friend Emily), and she ate very well that evening.
Lucy is getting cuter and cuter. She still loves looking around and is fascinated by everything. She also still hates going to sleep, but she's sleeping wonderfully at night- 6-9 hours at a stretch! Just last Sunday she started grasping for toys and she's been doing it all week. She's also finding her hands to suck on. That's all our Lucy news for now!

What a little sweetheart (in that photo)! At least we can saw we knew her when...
