I love this photo of Lucy because it reminds me that she does actually sleep sometimes!
Oliver is a good kitty and really tolerates a lot from Lucy.
On Monday, Lucy's first tooth started emerging. This is after 3 months of drooling, sticking her hands in her mouth, and clamping down on things.
On Tuesday, Lucy reached for the first person besides myself or Matt to snuggle on. It was our friend Michele, mother of handsome little Cord who is 6 weeks older than Lucy. She was flattered. This happened as we were leaving a 2-year-old's birthday party.
On Wednesday, Lucy climbed into the dishwasher. Her first climbing success. I turned around after washing a pot in the sink and there she was, kneeling inside the machine on the door holding a dirty spoon and waving it around. She moves fast!
On Thursday Lucy bumped her head hard for the first time. She pulled herself up to say hi to me while I was sitting on the futon. She was smiling, wavering and then clunk, she fell forward and hit her forehead on the metal bar. She had a small round red mark a bit larger than the size of a pea and only a little raised. I put arnica on it and it never bruised. It was gone by Friday morning.
On Friday (today), Lucy said "mama" for the first time, very distinctly, while Matt and I were at our lesson for our new Janome sewing machine . Needless to say, I had tears in my eyes - so did Matt. She was looking right at me and had her arms out. So sweet. She continued to say "mama" all night and leaned toward me and waved her arms when she said it.
Here is a little video that Matt shot on Wednesday night while I was teaching, mistakingly without sound, but cute nonetheless.
