Seven Months

Lucia is seven months old. Time is going by so quickly! Even she looks shocked!

Mom started back at work at the end of August. Lucia has started at a daycare two days a week, which at this point she is finally tolerating, but it was a long, tear-filled road. She is home with either Grandma Sue, Mom, or Dad on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It's a great balance and we feel so fortunate to each have a day home with her.

Unfortunately related to daycare, Lucia got her first cold, fever, and ear infection this past month. The amoxicillin used to treat her ear infection gave her a rash, vomiting, and the runs. Tons of fun for all...

Along with the first cold, came first teeth! Here is Lucia showing off her pearly whites. Watch your fingers! She loves to bite.




More updating to come. Stay tuned!

Does this bow make my head look fat?

Una Faldita

Great Grandma Nona made this cute little skirt for Lucia. Just in time for back-to-school.

Foiled!

We found Lucia trying to escape from her crib... We lowered her mattress.

Thanks for knitting this awesome sweater, Grandma!

Who Shortened the Bed?!

Friends

Lucia, Sampson, and Sofia came over for a visit. Lucia entertained while the moms pureed baby food.

Happy Half-Birthday!

Lucia is six months old!

We can't believe how much Lucia has grown and changed. She is rolling over, babbling, sitting up, sprouting a tooth, and wants her hands on everything. It was tough taking this month's picture since Lucia kept grabbing at Rowlf. In these pictures, she is wearing the sweater her grandma Sue knit for her christening.

Daddy Bonding

Here are the dads bonding with their babies. Philip & Pierson, Ben & Lucia, and Jim and his dog "babies" Maddie & Dottie...

Grandma Visits

Lucia's grandmother, Roxana, was able to visit twice in the month of August for a total of two week-long visits! We spent time eating, playing, relaxing, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

We toured Auntie Christine's art show at the Chambers Hotel in Minneapolis--exclusively for Macy's "Glamourama" hosted by Cyndi Lauper and MC Hammer. We hear it was a nice party...

Lucia is very proud of her Auntie!

Bailando tambien!! (Dancing too!)




Lucia had some very nice bonding time with her grandmother. After these past visits, Lucia becomes especially excited when we do video calls on the internet.
