Roly Poly



Yesterday evening Lucy rolled over for the first time!
This, however, is not a picture of that event. We didn't have the camera close by. But we did get some video. OK, we got video of her second time rolling over.


And speaking of roly poly . . .

Her Own Person

Lucy is very good at reminding us that she is her own person, with her own likes and dislikes.




And unlike her sister, she does NOT like hats!
(Not even cute bunny hats)

Negotiation



“OK, Ella, five more minutes and it will be time to get out of the tub.”

"No, two more minutes!"

"But honey, five minutes is longer than two minutes."

"I want to stay in two minutes!"

"You will get to stay longer if you get out in five minutes."

"Nooooo! Two! Twoooooo minutes!!"

(watch out Donald Trump)

Sibling violence starts at an early age



Okay, this was really a tender scene, not the slugfest you might think it would be at first glance.

Lucy is just starting to learn how to use her hands.

Ella, I think, has finally learned to expect us to get all bent out of shape if she even *looks* like she's going to lean on, manhandle, girlhandle, fold, spindle, etc., the baby. So now she's mostly gentle with her. When we're watching, anyway.

Things I Love About Lucy



how I make her smile just by looking at her

how when I talk to her she wiggles her whole body

how she loves me to squeeze her cheeks and tickle under her chin

her hair!
