Lucy visited her first art exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum today, "Painting Summer in New England." Joe (Self-Portrait) by Brett Bigbee was her favorite painting. [Personally, I found it a little disturbing with the blank stare and unnatural position of his left arm though the baby is cute enough.] Lucy, however, liked looking at it and tried to get the baby's [who was pretty darn close to life-size] attention by bouncing and waving. Unfortunately, Lucy never did get a reaction from the baby despite her best efforts.
In addition to flirting with the paintings, Lucy enjoyed interacting with the other exhibit visitors — they were much more responsive, and lots more fun. Plenty of smiles and waves for everyone.
Later on, we actually ran into a museum-goer at dinner. Turns out she used to work with Rob. When Rob brought her over to introduce her to Lucy, she admitted that she had seen Lucy in the museum — loved the curls and smiles.
Lucy loves the social life don't think she'll ever be a wall-flower.
