Morning Stroll

Little Miss Lucy likes nothing more than to be outside. If you ask her if she wants to go outside, she will excitedly reply "side-side!" without fail. So, lately we've been bundling up and hitting the streets, despite the weather. Here she is exploring the neighborhood this morning.

Brother Doll

Not being much of a doll fan as a kid myself, I didn't think to get Lucy a doll until a friend left one at our house and she was obsessed with it. She named her "Baybay" and wanted to take her everywhere...even in the tubby. So, we got her a new doll we're calling brother doll to prepare for baby brother's arrival! She loves him and gives him hugs, stroller rides and changes his diaper. We've tried to quell giving him a tubby because we don't want her putting her real little brother in the bath! In the video, I tried to capture her dancing with him, but was too slow with my camera. However, you can see how she likes to tote him around while she plays:

Ducklings!

Last weekend Lucy and I went to Eugene to rendezvous with her Uncle Bill, Aunt Katie and cousins Henry and Reese. Lucy was pretty mesmerized by Henry and his big kid ways. He was so sweet to the little girls, it was really cute to watch. I caught her just staring at him or following him around throughout the vacation. His little sister Reese is quite a fun lover and was it was so cute to see she and Lucy start to recognize each other and play a little bit! It's so much fun and I'm sure will just get better and better each time they see each other, since the age difference of 4 months is disappearing quickly.

Here's a video of the girlfriends:

Also, here's a picture of Lucy and Henry in front of the U of O sign:
