Oops, I haven't posted in awhile again. I suppose we've been busy getting ready for Christmas and winding down from the end of the semester at UAF. Lucy has some new tricks: she now claps and sucks her lips in like a fish. She also is getting her second bottom tooth in this week. The clapping surprised both Matt and I and luckily we were both there to see her do it for the first time. Lucy's friend Kaelin came to visit the other day and they are exactly the same size and so cute together.
No Lucy, we don't grab at Kaelin's face...
My little helper crawls over enthusiastically every time I open the dishwasher to unload it or load it. I've given up on trying to stop her from putting her hands all over everything when it is dirty. We just head to the kitchen sink afterward and wash her arms and hands. I do however keep a close eye to make sure she doesn't crawl inside - which she has done a couple of times.
The other day Lucy was giggling over and over and I caught her passing her pacifier (which she only plays with and bites on) over to Canute and then pulling it away and then repeating this again and again. I pulled out the camera too late but caught the end of it on video. They are such good friends. She now offers him everything she plays with such as shiny gift ribbon, her sock monkey, and rattles. He politely declines but acknowledges her generosity.
This week was a big week: Matt and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and there was a lunar eclipse on winter solstice. A beautiful week to celebrate our marriage. The eclipse was the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the Northern Winter Solstice (Southern Summer Solstice) since 1638. The next lunar eclipse to occur on a Northern Winter Solstice will be on December 21, 2094. Lucy will be able to see it! We had a great view of the eclipse from inside our house while Lucy slept in what was left on the moonlight on our bed. On our drive home from our celebratory dinner last night we saw a huge red shooting star, part of the the peak of the December Ursids occurring on the eves of December 22 to Dec. 23.
