Luciana on the phone with her parents telling us how much fun she was having in NY - we think the separation was harder on her parents than on her
Playing with her Princess table - one of her favorite things to do is to put stuff (sunglasses, brushes, keys, blocks, etc.) into one drawer and then move it all to another drawer and then back again and repeat - she can easily entertain herself moving things back & forth for hours
Grandma & Poppy took Lucy to the Children's Museum on Long Island. Here she is brushing her teeth, which has now become a critical part of her bedtime routine - she loves it.
Playing the organ with Poppy
After NY, Lucy took a trip to Cleveland where she visited with the Kohl family. Here she is playing with Ashley, who is just a couple of months older than her. The two girls were super cute together and now Lucy can say 'Ash-ley'.
On the way from Cleveland back to NC, we stopped in Cairo, West Virginia to spend some time with Kai's Aunt Dinah and to visit Aunt Dinah's awesome shop. We took a walk in the woods to stretch our legs before getting back in the car.
For Thanksgiving, we had a fantastic meal at Auntie Heather & Uncle Jeff's house. Here are Lucy and her cousin Emersyn sitting at the 'kid's table' getting ready to eat - the table & chairs are from Mamaw's house. We took almost 20 pictures - one of the girls was always doing something silly or looking away in 19 of them - this was the best we could get.
and here are some recent photos of Lucy around the house:
helping with the yard work
'cooking' in her kitchen
playing the keyboard & relaxing in her bunny slippers
digging for fossils in Durham's Museum of Life & Science - we recently became members of the museum, since it's such an excellent place for Lucy to play
taking her baby doll for a walk outside
Lucy is almost 17 months old - she loves to play outside and run all over the place. For the most part, she's very good-natured and happy. When she gives one of her parents a kiss, she has to go find the other one to give them a kiss too. and lately she then has to find Baby Doll, Curious George and her dog to give them all kisses as well. She can now say about 40 words, including 'goose', which makes her parents very proud. She started a new daycare after we got back from our trip and had adjusted very well - her nickname there is 'Dancing Queen'. She spends Tuesdays and Thursdays with her beloved Taty and cousin Emersyn. She is a very lucky little girl & we are so thankful to have so many people in our lives who love her as much as we do.
Here's a video of Lucy running around Dinah's shop playing with doggie sweaters
