Another day in limbo...

So we're still at my grandparents (4 weeks and counting...). We were going to close on the new place last week but there was a last minute snag, so it will be probably another week or so. I have some choice words regarding building developers and the construction industry as a whole, but I'll spare you the venting. Instead, we'll proceed on a more positive note with our usual picture fest.

Here's our little chick, in a cool outfit Jake and Emily got for her.

Lucy and my grandparents have been having a great time together. We'll really miss the bonus entertainment for her, and I'm sure they'll miss seeing her grow and develop every day. Even though we didn't expect to stay here so long, it's really been a blessing overall. Matt and I have been thrilled to be able to go out in the evenings while Lucy sleeps and they man the fort. We've also gone swimming a few times in the afternoon while they watch her. It's also so special to be spending more time with them. We're glad we're only moving about 10 minutes down the road! Here is Grandma, my cousin Alma, and Lucy playing a board game.


And Grandpa playing with Lucy on her own level.

We started solids a few weeks ago (banana with rice cereal, carrots with rice cereal, etc). It went well for about a week, but then came to a screeching halt (lips closed, twisting head from side to side). She seems to want to feed herself, so we're going to try some finger foods and the mesh feeder next. Tonight she had a great time playing with Cheerios, though none made it in her mouth.

Lucy LOVES her exersaucer. She loves standing up and being able to twist around and play with different toys.

I'm reading a book to Lucy here- the page I was on said "can you stick your tongue out like a gecko?"

Lucy loves her Papa.
I couldn't resist putting this one in as well- such a cute outfit!

ps- does anyone know the song reference in the post title? (I'll bet Papa Jack does)
