So, I’ve had an epiphany. I finally figured out who my little baby girl is reminding me of. Lucia is becoming one of the most smiley and cooey babies. She has found her voice! And it is quite possibly the cutest thing ON EARTH. She is eleven weeks old today, and if you are wondering how long I will count her age in weeks, don’t ask me because I just can’t answer that for you. She smiles for me and for Jason all day, and she is particularly excited in the morning, nose scrunches way up…arms and legs flailing every which way. However, I have realized something. She likes to make a fool of her mother. On several occasions, I tell my girlfriends or family members… “You’ve gotta see Lucy’s smile, it is the best! She’s really getting bubbly!” Then, without fail, she has it down to an art… she is blank-stare baby when people (with great anticipation) tune into her. No expression at all. She just shuts right on down. I do the exact same tricks I do for her when we are alone that make her reel with enthusiasm. I do the tricks when we are with anyone else… and I make a fool of myself! She apparently is NOT amused. Then the person turns around, thinking, "Gosh what an unhappy baby and horrible mother..." I lean down real close to her and ask, “you think that’s funny?” and BOOM! Back in business folks, the smile practically explodes back onto her face.
Anyway, you remember this old Warner Brothers cartoon, right? With the frog who sings and dances only for the one guy? And he ends up being admitted to a mental institution because of it? Hilarious. Man cartoons used to be funny, didn't they?!?
Here are a few shots that some of you have seen...she is quite divine on the Sabbath!
