First smile! She's getting much more generous with them now and everyone, including Liam, loves it!
First time meeting Auntie Cindy, John, Hailee and Bella. 6 weeks, July 15th. They came for a visit July 15th and stayed the whole week. It took Liam and Bella a while to learn to share, they're both so used to being the youngest and getting whatever they want without having to share much. Lucia adored being held almost constantly and watching the kids.
First time in the bumbo, 6 weeks. She is still a little small and will only be content for about 5 min before her neck becomes warn out but she's learning. We actually find she does better in the highchair because it's got a higher back support.
Second trip to the zoo. 7 weeks. With all the kiddos to keep busy when Cindy and John were here, we made a trip to the Micke Grove Zoo. Lucia slept in the moby through pretty much the whole visit but everyone else had a great time.
First time swimming! July 28th, 8 weeks. Liam loved going in the evenings at the hotel when auntie was here but the outdoor unheated pool was just to cold to think about taking a little baby into. We decided to go to the Inshape pool one evening and their warmer therapy pool is perfect! It's set nice and toasty since it's designed for rehab exercises and is only 4ft deep so no worries aboutmy not touching etc. She loved it and alternated between just floating around on her back with me supporting her head and being held upright looking out at daddy and Liam playing and splashing.
First trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had a lovely lazy weekend before I had to head back to work the next week. Lucia hung out in the Moby and liked watching the fish.
First time with the nanny and mommy back to work: July 23rd, 8 weeks. We made the switch from our longtime nanny to our new one and Lucia and Liam did great. We've used Rebecca, our new nanny, many times in the past with Liam and she's fabulous! How did we get lucky twice with such lovely ladies and their children? Rebecca was available evenings and weekends and lives closer than Brooke does so it worked well for quick dinners and extra babysitting before and she was happy to step in when we heard Brooke would be starting requirements for her CPM this fall. We miss her terribly, but completely understand and are SO excited for her new journey. Plus, we make sure to get together at least every few weeks so Liam can hang out with them.
