Hey, how’s Lucy doing?  Lots of people have been asking so I thought I would update you on her latest accomplishments (which as her parents of course simply amaze us!)

  • Sniffing the toes on pictures of baby feet in books just like Daddy does after her bath!  She is also building talent in the area of lifting her toes to your nose so you can sniff them.  I don’t know how many other kids have this, but our kid’s toes actually smell bad!
  • Eating all kinds of foods now that are not related to the general “noodle” category with her newly mastered pincher grasp.  Yay- no baby food!
  • We knew she already had many dance moves up her sleeves usually arranged in random 2 second stints and repeated, but now she has added a spin around.  She loves spinning around in a circle while adding various dance moves!
  • Putting feet on the table while eating and trying to grab food with her toes.  That one is hard to keep a straight face for when saying no.
  • Screaming in delight when Daddy opens the cabinet to get snacks for her causing Daddy to break things because of being startled.
  • Dramatically banging her body against baby gates that block her from going outside when the doors are open.  That kid just can’t get enough fresh air.
  • Learning to run in random directions and generally delighting in her own independence (which is so wonderful to watch).  She is also remembering things she sees one time and doing them again- which is amazing.  Sponge!

I could go on and on…..what a ham!

Very exciting- our little picky eater ate a whole bunch of spaghetti elbows tonight!  Whoo hoo!  Progress!  Maybe she’ll give up her goldfish addiction a little and start to eat other kinds of “real” food.  Imagine.. veggies!

In other news, today was the 2nd non stress test and bio physical profile on the twins at the hospital.  Things look fine and the baby on my right side, who will most likely be born first- “Baby A”, is 3lbs. and 11 oz. and the baby on my left, “baby B”, is 3 lbs., 13 oz.  They are pushing 4 lbs.!  That’s over 7 lbs. of baby.  They are already bigger together than Lucy was at 5 lbs. and 8 oz.  31 weeks- 32 here I come!  Also, the Dr. said after 34 weeks, if I go into labor, they won’t stop me, but they won’t probably let me go past 38 weeks or around Aug. 9th.
