video killed a radio star

so for christmas we received a snazzy new video camera from bill & linda - the camera came with instructions to take lots of home movies featuring little luciana - here are a few recent ones. unfortunately, it takes a very long time to upload videos so we'll only be able to post these every once in awhile. hope you enjoy!

snow day

This week NC got a whopping 3 inches of snow so Lucy got bundled up in her snow suit (this thing completely limits any movement) and explored a newly whitened world. We ran out of memory on our camera so most of Lucy's first snow experience is captured on video - we will attempt to upload some videos soon.

happy new year!

Luciana is now 6 months old and so much fun. She has so many different facial expressions and is so curious about everything. She has been trying different foods (pears, bananas, sweet potatoes) and loves them all! She also gets super excited whenever she sees other children, dogs and her own image in the mirror. Over the holiday break, Lucy took her 1st trip to NY - she got to cross the Brooklyn Bridge and go shopping in Union Square. She didn't sleep too well in NY (maybe because there's so much to do and see), but now that she's back home she's sleeping 10 hours straight at night - mommy & daddy are very happy about this!

getting in the holiday spirit

hanging with gampaw

Gampaw Joseph is visiting from Cali! He was very brave and watched Luciana for 4 days while Kai & Lauren went to work. They had a good ole time together & everything went smoothly - though we haven't watched the tapes from the nanny cam yet ;)....

We took Luciana to the wonderful NC State Zoo in Asheboro last weekend while the grandparents were in town. We met up with our dear friend Tami and her family & spent a great day checking out all the animals. We love the zoo & can't wait to take her back.

thanksgiving

lucy spent her 1st thanksgiving with lots of family, including the DiBiase clan in from NY! We tried to give her a bite of sweet potato, but she wasn't really interested. she is wearing the same sweater that Lauren wore on her 1st thanksgiving (linda thinks of everything!)
