Leather Lungs Lucia


Lucia's strong lungs can be surprising!

Nona's Hiccup Cure


If you've seen the video below, you'll know that Lucia is prone to hiccups. Great Grandma Nona swears by the pictured hiccup cure--a torn corner of paper stuck to the forehead. It worked!

Shamrock Shakes



Even though Lucia is just 1/16th Irish, she still overdid the drinking on St Patty's Day. O'Lucia!

Dottie & Lucia


Dottie has been great with Lucia. She comes in for a visit when Lucia cries, is watchful when she sleeps, and gets a kick out of Lucia when she's in her swing. Good girl, Dottie!

First Doctor's Visit

Lucia went to her first doctor's appointment today. Doc says everything looks great! She's gained all her weight back and more since she was born (she lost several ounces before leaving the hospital). Doc said it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for babies to regain their weight. Lucia is ahead of the game and on the way to buddha-belly-ville. She is one good eater! One downfall is that Catherine will be seeing a lactation consultant on Wednesday since Lucia has one heck of a barricuda bite. Amazing that Catherine has hung in there all this time.

Lucia is healthy, sleeps much of the day, hardly cries, and gives mom and dad a decent amount of sleep at night. Of course we know that this is all subject to change... In the meantime, we feel so blessed and thankful to have such a healthy, easy going and happy baby.

Grandma and Grandpa




My grandparents in Chicago made a special video call the day I arrived home. Grandpa read me a bedtime story. Grandma speaks to me in Spanish. I can't wait to meet them in person!
