Happy 1 Month!

Lucille Annelise is officially 1 month old! We have had so much fun getting to know her this last month. Here are some things we have learned about our amazing daughter:

1. She loves to swing and listen to music.
2. She "smiles" a lot, especially when she's sleeping! We can't wait for the first real smile, when she really knows what she's doing!
3. She likes to sleep with the lights on. If we lay her in the bassinet with the lights on, she stays asleep. The minute we turn the lights off, she starts to grunt and moan.
4. She prefers to grunt and moan to get our attention, rather than cry.
5. Car rides make her fall asleep.
6. She likes to go to Sonic Happy Hour every day!
7. She loves laying on Daddy's (or Papa Ralph's) chest and being patted on the back.
8. She likes having her feet kissed by her Aunt Mandy and she likes being sung to by her Grandma Carla.
9. She loves bath time as long as we keep pouring warm water on her. Otherwise she gets cold and hates it.
10. She has a wide range of funny facial expressions that we love to sit and watch.
11. She is the cutest, most amazing baby ever!
12. She is happy Kris Allen won American Idol.

Lazy Days with Lucy


Our beautiful Lucille likes... no wait... LOVES to sleep! During the daytime, that is :). It is her newest hobby. I keep telling her that she's missing some beautiful spring days here in Texas (it has been in the 80s instead of the 90s this week!) and that it's fun to look out of the stroller when we go to Target. She thinks it's more fun to sleep.

The Woes of Tummy Time

Lucille had her first "tummy time" this week. Even though she was all dressed up for the big event, she hated all 3 minutes of it! She did start to lift up her head though!

Lucille prefers lounging on top of the tummy time pillow and looking cute.
Lucille was equally enthusiastic trying tummy time on Nathan.
It's hard to watch her get upset, but I know it's good for her to exercise her neck muscles. She's getting stronger every day! The last few days she has been much more alert! She likes to sit next to me and ponder the great mysteries of life while I update her blog.

We love our sweet baby girl!

Mail Time!

Lucille takes after her Mama and loves to check the mail. It's a highlight of her day (even if all we get are bills and pizza coupons!).

But today there was a special surprise in the mailbox! Lucille got her very first package! She was super excited.
At first she thought it was parenting books and a seedless watermelon for her to enjoy (as promised by Aunt Mandy). But, she was in for a treat!
A special handmade card from Mandy and Cousin Ralphie!
And a box full of cloth wipes to keep her bottom soft and rash-free! Thank you Aunt Mandy, Uncle Andy and Ralphie!
