Playtime

This past week Lucy's soft cork floor play area arrived. As you can see, the animals think we bought it for them...not surprising. Anyway, we hope it keeps her from knocking her little head on the concrete floor (as much) while she learns to get around.

We'll see if she actually stays on it because she has been "creeping" around everywhere and surprising us! There is no crawling yet but she slithers across the floor on her belly with ease now in addition to showing us the classic "rocking" which we hear is the precursor to crawling. Uh oh! I will try to get a video of this action soon.

So yesterday we went to town together to buy some little treats for Lucy. We wanted to get her a new toy and we went to our favorite toy store here that has nice wooden toys, Enchanted Forest Toys, to let her actually pick something out. It was really fun! She tested about 10 toys and kept going back to the the one "grabbing toy" that we came home with.

Second, we went to Gulliver's Bookstore to get her some used children's books since we seem to have endless used book credit there from all the books we trade in. We came home with a pile of good ones, including some classics such as "The Snowy Day" and Beatrix Potter's Nursery Rhymes. It was a fun day that ended with a bonfire party at a neighbor's house down the street.

Other exciting things that I want to take note of:

Lucy has been signing A LOT for milk. Suddenly she just does it all the time! She also ate some winter squash this week with better results, however, her favorite food remains avocado. She's had a little teeny bite of applesauce and banana as well. Yummy.
