Walking the dog

On days when Andy works, Lucy and I often get bundled up and walk the dog.  I have a baby wrap I use to "wear her" which means she's wrapped up in a little fabric pocket like a baby kangaroo and my hands are free to control our rambunctious dog, Mainerd.  Until recently, Lucy didn't quite take to being worn because her head had to be tucked into the fabric to prevent it from bobbling all over the place.  Now she has head control. So her head doesn't have to be tucked into the baby wrap and she's free to look around which she loves! It's really fun to get outside with her and enjoy the sunshine whenever we get it.  Here she is cruisin' the 'hood with Mainerd and me.

Hello Hands!

Lucy has discovered her hands can grab toys!  Here's a video of her playing that just may indicate she likes eating crab like her mama. Happy Valentines Day from our own little cherub!

Back to Work

Last week I went back to work and Andy and Lucy were on their own for 3 full days in a row.  I knew they'd have a great time but I missed them more than I thought. In the photo, Lucy is enjoying her carrier for the first time as her proud Papa is off to take her on a walk around the neighborhood.
