Lucy is highly amused.

This might be a video best described as "Only a Grandparent Could Love It"...so...you were warned. We bought Lucy something called a Gymini. For those of you not in the know on ridiculous baby items, this is just a mat she lays on with little arches over her head from which hang little toys and rattles and whatnot. Oh, and a kick plate that lights up and plays songs when she kicks it, which she does often because she happens to be relatively uncoordinated, poor thing. She does kick extraordinarily hard though, so this could be just the thing to make her feel like all that kicking is doing her some good.

On another note, we took Lucy to go get a bagel this morning (well, technically only we ate bagels, she snoozed in her carseat), and there were several other babies at the bagel shop. We struck up a conversation with the mommy nearest us who had a tiny little baby boy all wrapped up and sleeping in his carseat. They asked us how old Lucy is and I said seven and a half weeks, and much to my dismay their baby was TWO WHOLE WEEKS older than her. I swear to you that if she put her mind to it, Lucy could have swallowed that baby whole. Our daughter is obviously a bruiser...on the upside we won't have to worry about her being bullied I guess, and maybe she'll be able to open her own pickle jars with her sure-to-be enormous forearms.
