A visit to Pike Place Market - now with more bedhead.

Hide the electrical cords! Here comes Lucy!

So, tonight Lucy started getting up on all fours - rocking back and forth and trying to crawl. Brian and I were like "GO LUCY GO!" And then we looked around our non-baby-proofed house and were like "NO STOP PLEASE DON'T GO!" Anyway, trying to capture something as nebulous as "almost getting ready to crawl sometime in the near future" on camera is pretty hard. But here's some cute pictures and just try to picture little squiggles on each side of Lucy as she rocks back and forth, trying to figure out how to get all her limbs on a coordinated mission to propel her to her ultimate goal - the computer cord.

By golly, I think she's got it!!

Lucy says Happy Valentine's Day!

Lucy is a giggle monster.

Lucy is a baby in motion...almost.

I think Lucy is getting ready to crawl soon - and I tried to get a picture of her up on all fours - but this was the best I could do. Sadly, my camera skills aren't good enough to capture the split second that she perches in the air, poised for mobility, positioned for speed...right before she topples over onto her head. Sigh.


This block must taste pretty good, because it's the only thing Lucy REALLY likes to eat on a regular basis. Food is so gross. Plastic is DELICIOUS!

Hey, is there something on the back of my pants?
I wish I could say it was me getitng her to smile this big...but...nope. As usual, only Daddy is funny enough to earn the super-huge gumless baby grin.

Oh hi! Aren't I cute? Everyone says so.

Lucy is thisclose to escaping

This is the day we decided that the bumper would probably be a good idea.
