Sounds of the Jungle

Lucy has started imitating animals. These are our favorites, as you can tell by our delighted giggles. It's okay to treat your daughter like a show pony, right?

Aren't You A Little Short?

Happy Halloween!

We had a great day, capped off by Lucy's first Trick or Treating. Very exciting for everyone, especially for those of us who eat candy.

Our friends Lauren + Brendon gave us this costume for Lucy when she was born and we've been waiting to break it out ever since.


Sarah had the brilliant idea of testing out the wig on Lucy for the week leading up to Halloween, that way she'd get used to wearing it. It worked! Sarah is a genius.

Here's Lauren + Brendon with their twins, Brady and Jordan. It's crazy how much Brady looks like his Dad, while dainty Jordan is the spitting image of her Mom.

Jason gives Wes the sky-high view of Trick or Treating.

Marion and Steph are two of our friends who had their kids the same time as we did. We're incredibly lucky to have all of these tremendous people in our lives.

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.
