First Visit to the Zoo

Lucy made her first trip to the Indianapolis Zoo today with her good friend Wes. She rocked out in the Baby Bjorn while Wes looked at all the animals. She slept most of the time, but we still had a good time walking around with Eleni and Wes. The picture below is Eleni showing Wes the rhinos, which may or may not have been also referred to as hippos or triceratops. We have lots to learn about animals ourselves before we try to teach to our kids, but there is plenty of time for that.

Our Little Pumpkin

Lucy went to her first Halloween party today. We borrowed the costume from Eleni Drake's son Wes, who apparently screamed the instant he was put in it. She didn't wear the pumpkin costume very long because she was too hot, but I at least was able to get some non-crying pictures.

Two Month Appointment

Lucy had her two month doctor appointment today. She weighs 11 pounds 10 ounces (67 percentile) and is 23 and 1/4 inches long (77 percentile). The pediatrician was so impressed with how terrific her head control and arm strength were when she put her on her tummy, she said she was phenomenal. She had to get 4 vaccines today (3 shots and 1 oral vaccine) which she absolutely hated (who doesn't???). She's been a little grumpy and sleepy all afternoon, but she survived. She's our perfect little angel.
Here's a video that we took of her during tummy time (yes, we are bragging about her "phenomenal" head control, but that's what parents do). We don't put her on her tummy as often as we maybe should, because it ALWAYS makes her spit up, as you will see in the video (just a warning!).

Two Months Old

Lucy is two months old today. She keeps getting bigger and bigger. She smiles and laughs alot which is a ton of fun. She is very curious and is always looking around.

As a comparative, here is last months picture. She is definitely filling out and has much better head control.

Congratulations Jared & Kristina!!!

We would like to say Congratulations to our good friends Jared and Kristina Kakasuleff on the newest addition to their family. Jack Allen Kakasuleff was born on October 11 at 7:06pm. He weighed 7 pounds and was 19 inches long. Lucy and I went to visit little Jack today. I can't believe how small he is compared to Lucy. Just another testiment to how quickly they grow up.

Who's that baby in the mirror???

Lucy discovered for the first time yesterday that there is a mirror above her head on her swing, so we caught her in the act.

All Gums!!!
