Lucie's been teething for a few weeks, but her first two bottom teeth have officially broken through this week. While she isn't exactly ready for a porterhouse, she enjoys trying out her new-found chompers on anything within reach.
Lucie and Ryan's latest move is the "tripod" where they sit for short periods of time propped up by their arms. If you catch them post-nap with a full belly, they are pretty good at this. Other times, it simply takes too much energy to hold up their little bodies, and they quickly come crashing down.
We've discovered the Ben and Jerry's of baby food -- sweet potatoes. Ryan and Lucie have tried rice cereal, squash and peaches to mixed reviews, but once they had their first taste of sweet potatoes yesterday, the party began. There was much frantic kicking, arm waving and gasps of delight. The next thing I knew, we were all covered in sweet potatoes.
It's so interesting to watch as Lucie and Ryan continue their mutual discovery. While they have been smiling at each other for a couple of months or so, lately they seem interested in playing with each other. Currently, their games include "you squeal, I squeal", "tandem bubble-blowing", and "synchronized finger-sucking".
Ryan is ready to play. In celebration of opening day, Ryan models his Dodger attire: jersey, mock sliding pants, and baseball shoes.
