Lilac Sunday

A belated happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! It was really special to celebrate my first one with Matt and Lucy. We started with a delicious brunch cooked by Matt- homemade Egg McMuffins, tater tots and fresh asparagus from Grandma's garden. Yum!


Then we took the train to the Arboretum for Lilac Sunday. They have something like 40+ varieties of lilacs, and most hit their peak right around Mother's Day. The festival has been going on for 100 years. It was such a delight to smell and see the beautiful flowers and to be outside on such a beautiful day. We had really missed being in nature, and enjoyed giving Lucy her first taste of it.



This past week Lucy has really gotten into sucking on all available fabrics. She likes that much more than sucking on a pacifier. Here she is with her little lamb blanket/friend.

She has also started blowing bubbles and making raspberry noises, and being a lot more vocal. It is SO cute to hear her venturing into the domain of language.

In bottle news, Lucy drank about 1 ounce this past Wednesday when I was away. Hooray! Hopefully this is a foretaste of things to come.
