8 months




Beatrice has gotten 2 teeth and sleeps through the night.

She has moved into the vacant crib in Lucy's room - Lucy loves having her as a roommate!

little scribe



Lucy has been practicing her penmanship. She wrote this on her own, unprompted by me.

up notch

Although the curls have not come through in full earnest yet, Trix's hair is definitely long enough for Grammy's favorite hairstyle - the up notch.

She looks so different with the hair up off her face and out of her eyes.

trains and concerts

Lucy went on her first train ride today. She really liked taking the train/subway [though it may have been a little longer than it needed to be]. Her favorite part of taking the train was, "sitting on the green seat." [Really? You'd think her favorite part would be something a little more novel than that . . . ]

Anyhoo, we took the train to see the They Might Be Giants kids show. They really put on a fun show! Much different than Laurie Berkner, but just as enjoyable. They even brought out broom to sing [of all things] "I Am Not Your Broom." I loved the live version of "Seven Days Of The Week (I Never Go To Work)" they even brought out a special guest to play trumpet [who's name I cannot remember - but he was great - and either goes/went to Berklee].

Lucy loved the show and enjoyed dancing in the aisle. Daddy got her another concert t-shirt. [This one is really cute - I wish they had it in adult sizes. I will have to get a picture of her wearing it sometime.]

My only criticism would be that it was a little loud . . . is that just my age talking, or should we be more careful of their young, delicate ears? Either way, I can assure you, we'll be at the concert next year! [Maybe sporting ear plugs?]

summer in the "city"





When you can't get to the pool or beach, nothing beats singing in a puddle!

t-ball



Auntie Megan arrived today with a t-ball set. Lucy loved learning to play baseball and even gave Auntie Megan instructions on how to hit the ball, while she fielded.

Looking like she might bat lefty like her mother . . .
