Barbie to the Rescue

Lucia is two months old today if you can believe it.

She had her two month check up today. She's up to 10lbs 1oz and is 21.5 inches long, right around the 50th percentile for both. She had three shots and her blood drawn, which took two attempts.

Our little girl had a rough day being poked and prodded. But some Tylenol, two Barbie band aids and a rest with her Papa did the trick to make her feel better.

Movin' On Up

The move is on.

On Wednesday the packers came. It only took two packers 6 hours to pack all our stuff up in boxes. A task that would have taken us weeks.

On Thursday a team of three came to load everything onto the truck, which took them a mere 5 hours to do. That would have been a full days worth of work for us.

On Friday they drove our treasures to the new house and unloaded in a record 3.5 hours. What would have been another days worth of work for us.

Our job was to sit back and stay out of the way. Moving like this was very convenient, especially with a newborn.From now on a prerequisite to any job acceptance is if they provide the relocation. Thank you NIH.

We will officially take up new residence on June 30, 2008.

Swingin' in the Trees

Lucia loves hangin' out in her Rain Forest swing . . . swinging with her animals, not to mention the great vestibular stimulation she's receiving.

Daddy Time

Daddy and Lucia spending some time together. Notice the tinge of jealously in the background.

Rojelio told me Lucia said she wants a Fozzie Bear doll. Maybe she can hold off 'til Christmas.

Whoozit Among Us

Pretty much ever since she was born Lucia has been begging us for a Whoozit. So we took a trip to Maryland to look for housing and told her if she was a good girl we'd stop and get her a toy. Of course she complied and is now the owner of her very own Whoozit. I guess even baby dreams do come true!
