Happy New Year!

Wow!  It has been quite a month.  Luci is growing so much and learning new things every day.  This last month she learned to roll completely over!  She has discovered her toes and loves to reach for them and pull her socks off.  She continues to give us lots of sweet smiles and be the perfect little baby.  Mommy went back to work and Daddy now stays home.  Luci took the transition - no problemo!  Daddy and Luci have so much fun together every day - playing, going on walks, and visiting Mommy at lunch every day. 



We spent two weeks in Florida for Christmas.  While there, Luci took her first boat ride, met her great-grandparents, cousin Brittany, and Uncle Lyle, slept in a motorhome, learned how to take naps in bed instead of the swing, met tiny little doggies who gave her lots of attention, sat in Santa's lap, and enjoyed all of the attention her Florida family gave her.  

Another highlight of our trip - getting to see Troy, Amanda, and Henry.  They were visiting Disney World all the way from Maine, so we took a day to go up and see them.  I guess Maine is closer to Florida than Oregon!




She was very good on the plane, especially riding in the Ergo baby carrier we got for Christmas.  Jet lag was just a little problem once we returned to Oregon.  She was waking up every 2 hours once we got back, but now 6 days later she is back to sleeping 11 hours at night.  In another week, we are going to try out rice cereal.  We think she will do just fine because she loves to sit with us at dinner and watch while we eat.

For the grandmas - make sure you check out all the pictures on the Picasa website.  Link is on this page!
