Lucy just learned to crawl, and she
uses her newfound skill constantly, crawling all over the house. Here,
she does a little crawling in the family room, and takes in a little TV.

| Just
hanging out, watching some TV |
 |
Maybe just
a tiny bit too close to the TV |
 |
| Definitely
mesmerized, though |
 |
What a
cutie! |
 |
| She loses
interest and crawls off, though the front portion of a tractor can clearly
be seen on the screen |
 |
Maybe she
spotted the tractor |
 |
| Lucy is a
very happy kid |

What Daddy
sees, when he's lying on the floor with Lucy |

Kirby
stands guard |

realizes that I'm watching her |

But it
doesn't keep her from the show |
 |
| Heading
out again on some new adventure |
 |
Never too
busy for a quick lie down |
 |

Wondering
if she should stay in the family room |

| Lucy plays
with one of her favorite toys |
 |
Checking
to see what Mom is doing |
 |
| She
recently figured out how to put the balls in the holes |
 |
But she
enjoys trying to put a variety of shapes into the round holes |
 |
| Posing for
Dad |
 |
Lucy has
these moments when she stares at me as if she'd never seen me before in her
life |
 |

Let's try
the next shape |

Lucy is already a big book
enthusiast. We read quite a few books each night. She often
spreads out a bunch of her books before choosing the next one to read.

| "Lemons
are Not Red" is more of a favorite than "Go Dog Go" |
 |
She's
apparently opted for something entirely different |

We drove over to St. Paul for a

Mmmmm |
 |
| The
Cheerios arrive |
 |
Just what
Lucy ordered |
 |
| Eagerly
watching the Cheerios get poured |
 |
Like a
fine wine, you need to enjoy the color before you consume the Cheerio |
 |
| I could
eat this stuff in fistfuls! |
 |
Mmmm |
 |
| Cheerios
is really just the appetizer, but they are Lucy's favorite |
 |
One happy

Did
someone suggest switching to a Kelloggs product? |

really loved hanging out in the swing |

on the grass, which she enjoys, but is still a little hesitant about |
