All Boyds, all the time.
Lucy’s been up to a lot of growing, giggling, and general cuteness over the past several months. We keep telling her to stop drinking all the cute juice, but she just won’t listen. I think she has a membership at Costco and buys the stuff in bulk. more »
It’s high time to get caught up with some of Lucy’s most recent accomplishments and antics. more »
Thirteen months old today, Lucy is growing in length, weight, and comprehension, much to our delight! And, according to our pediatrician, it doesn’t even matter that she won’t eat any vegetables. more »
It’s been so long since we’ve written an edition of The Lucy Files that some of my notes are in danger of being out of date. She is growing and changing so quickly! more »
Lucy turned nine-months old last Thursday. We are still relishing our not-yet-baby-proofed house while we wait for Lucy’s crawling to kick in full-force. But then again, Mama might just be in denial, considering that she had to extract a paper grocery bag from Lucy’s mouth the other day. more »
Lately, my favorite thing to do with Lucy is sing with her. She starts with one of her "ahhhh" sounds and I do my best to match her pitch and timbre.

This was a week of firsts: first avocado, first haircut, first Thanksgiving, first no-swaddle sleep attempt, and first non-parent-directed bath. Some successes, some failures. Read on for details. more »
Lucy had enough big adventures this week, like our trip to the Marion farmette and her first cold, that there isn’t much more to say. But that never stopped me before. more »
Lucy has made two big developmental strides this week: (1) sitting up pretty consistently and (2) perfecting the ability to take off her hat and throw it on the floor. She seems to be increasingly fascinated by the force of gravity. These are among the half-dozen notes from this week’s Lucy Files …. more »
Lucy turned six-months old this week and celebrated by having one of the smiliest and happiest days ever. She woke up grinning and pretty much only took breaks for sleeping. I didn’t mind it at all. :) more »
I’ve been wanting to keep some more diary-like records of Lucy’s activities lately. I keep telling Jon I need to get a new journal, and then he says, “Why don’t you just write about it on the blog?” Yeah, why don’t I? more »
Once upon a time, we envisioned a series of posts in “The Lucy Files,” as a catch-all for miscellaneous stuff we wanted to remember but that never made it into posts of their own. We haven’t done one in two months, so pardon us, but we’ve got some catching up to do. more »
More random tidbits from The Lucy Files, including notes about cilantro, hand-smacking, and a triumphant (and medically verified) burp. more »
Everywhere we go, people tell us how quickly babies grow and how fast these days will go by. We figure even a few random notes will help us remember when things start to fade. Thus, we begin what may become a regular feature here: The Lucy Files. more »
