5 months

Trixie is 5 months old today.

playground adventure

Today Lucy was very adventurous at the playground.

Maybe it was that she could ride the big girl swing all by herself that she realized there were lots of other things at the playground she could do too.

Usually, Lucy is very cautious - but not today. I let her go . . . and she had a blast!!






Of course I was there with an extra hand, should she need one . . .


Trix just enjoyed some of God's good air.

live from the tv room

Lucy sings a few of her favorite Laurie Berkner songs to her little sister. I'd say Trix enjoyed it . . .

feed a cold

We've all got colds and I like the old adage that you've got to feed it. Besides, I think that babies sleep a little longer w/a nice full belly [and Lord knows, we all could use some sleep].



Trixie enjoyed her first meal of rice cereal and Lucy felt like an important helper by feeding her. Lucy became very annoyed that we were interrupting her work by making her stop to look at the camera.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

evil genius

Grammy took Lucy, Beatrice, and their cousins to an American Girl® Bitty Baby party.

All the big girls brought their Bitty Babies and had "tea" with them. Lucy's is the only one w/a name other than Bitty - hers is Grace.

Genna and Vivi got right into the circle for story-time but Lucy preferred to stay back on her chair at the table - where it was safer. [Basically, story-time was a big sales pitch, but the girls had no idea and enjoyed it]

After the party, Grammy bought each of the babies a new outfit.

When we got home, Lucy changed Grace into her new outfit and read her the book that came with it.

A good time was had by all. Thanks Grammy!

If you're interested, Henry spent the time w/his Dad and got new Legos.

saucer time

Trixie is trying out the saucer for the first time - I'd say it's safe to assume she LOVES it!

[Lucy, on the other hand, is trying it out for the first time in a few years.]
