More Day to Day with Lucy Kate

Life has been busy and a lot of fun these past few weeks! Kaitlyn arrived on October 16th and is staying with us until the beginning of January. We are thrilled to have her for many reasons including babysitting! :) It has been great to have her around during the day to play with Lucia here and there. Lucy thinks she is the greatest and gets totally excited whenever she comes around.

It seems that every day has been full. We have been able to walk Greenlake with friends Lindsay and Jackson, go out to coffee with Kaitlyn and Erin, and hang out with Rachael and Hollis. All good times with great friends. It makes the rain of the fall more enjoyable when you get to spend time with good people.

Halloween has come and gone. I was lame and didn't get a costume. I don't know why but I guess I just wasn't all that motivated to go on a hunt for the perfect costume. Kaitlyn and I went to Target yesterday and she insisted that we scope out the 75% off Halloween junk section. Well, I found a little bee costume for $3.24, so I had to buy it. :) I took some crappy pictures of Lucia in the costume last night but these are just a glimpse. Pat took some amazing shots of The Lu this morning in her bee costume, then some in a cloth diaper, and then some nuddy...until she peed all over the backdrop. :) I'll post those pictures as soon as they are ready.

Lucia: the baby bee. "ohhhh sparkle fabric, how I love you"
Terrible lighting on this picture but the ones that Pat took are great.
Some play time with Aunt Kaitlyn



Snuggle time with Dad after work
Pat reading to Lucia...so educational..oh wait, that is the REI catalog!
A baby in a toy box. She thought this was pretty great. Who wouldn't want to be stuck in a whicker basket full of all of the toys that you love in the world.
Cute lady in an awesome hat! :)
Going to town on an apple slice. It only fell on the floor about 15 times and then went straight back into her mouth. I'm sure it was clean!


Call and response time with Aunt Kaitlyn. Not sure what they were saying to eachother but it was intense. :)


I think that one of Lucia's favorite parts about eating is the opportunity that she has to attempt to consume the napkin as I am washing off her face.
