Sitting, Standing and Eating Green Beans!

Lucy is doing so many new things! She is really working on sitting by herself both in school and at home. Lucy has always loved to stand, and now she can hold herself up if we stand her against the ottoman. She can hold herself this way for several minutes. Lucy also continues to make crawling motions when placed on her belly. She can scoot herself around in a circle or up when she is on her back by pushing off with her feet. Scooting is especially fun during a diaper change (well at least to Lucy).

Lucy has been eating cereal for a few weeks now. This weekend she was introduced to green beans and she really liked them. Once we finish the green beans we'll try out another veggie, maybe my favorite - peas!

Lucy loves to explore people's faces with her hands. She likes to put her hand on your mouth when you are talking to feel your lips move. She also follows us with her gaze everywhere we go. And, the most exciting thing for us - Lucy now reaches for us to hold her. She has always smiled when you come to her, but didn't used to reach out with excitement. We both love it!

Lucy likes green beans!
