To The Grove

Lucy has some special visitors this week.

Lee + Steve, Sarah's folks, flew into Burbank yesterday. And what do you do when you hit LA? Go shopping at The Grove, of course.

Steve's watching Lee get Lucy dressed for the day. I caught the ladies' reflection in the mirror, that's why it's all artsy. Or perhaps nonsense-y, depending on your take.


Sarah and Lucy explore the alleyways of The Grove, an outdoor mall in Hollywood. I'm pretty sure Lucy tried to slip away and get her ears pierced.


Why yes, that IS a banjo orchestra playing "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey?" in the middle of the Farmer's Market. Why do you ask?


Steve + Lee teach Lucy the finer points of teetering and tottering at the park.


Our sweet girl likes to dance from time to time, whether or not the banjo orchestra is playing.


Finally, a casual moment with the family.

Happy Halloween!

Momma's Birthday

I made a short movie for Sarah's birthday. It's Lucy's first year in five minutes, give or take. Hope you like it.

Walking in LA

Nobody walks in LA.

Our little lady has started walking! A little. I think her record to date is seven steps. As Chris says, she walks like she's "just had abdominal surgery", which is true. I think she still prefers the faster and more efficient crawling, but every day she does a little more.

The Good Doctor

Oh, kindly Dr. Shapiro, you are so good to us.

Lucy had her One Year appointment yesterday and it went very well. She's 30" long and weighs 24 lbs. 12 oz. I love watching Dr. Shapiro deal with Lucy; he's got three kids of his own and always smiles.

Now She Is One

She looks pretty happy, right?

We turned Lucy's car seat around and she seems to like it. There's a lot of giggling and cooing going on back there, I don't remember her doing that when she was staring at the head-rest.

No walking yet, a couple of tentative steps but nothing in a row. Lucy's Year One doctor's appointment is on Friday, so we'll get an update on height & weight, plus probably girth & torque.

Movies From A Party

Lucy turned 1 yesterday, which makes no sense to me. Is the sky red? Do the dead walk amongst us? Hmmm. Anyways, a few moments from yesterday.



The tail end of "Happy Birthday", immediately followed by Lucy applauding her applause.



A sweet moment with Lucy & Derek.



Finally, Daphne sings a birthday song.
