2 months and Mother's Day

Today Lucy is 2 months!!

We had a magical 1st Mother's day. Lucy came home from daycare Friday with a fun card that she "made" with her teacher's help. Her involvement was pretty much just sitting still while her picture was taken, but I was pretty darn excited. As a person who often works with children for a living I'm amazed that I am just as susceptible to crafts with my kid's picture and/or name on them. Yes, I too am a gushy mom ha ha.

This weekend Green Market opened at Piedmont Park so Lucy got to see her Dad's band play live for the first time. She was excellent at the park and got to meet tons of my favorite people from work as well as some of Atlanta's best farmers (I may be biased but they're awesome folks). She even got to spend some quality time with her Aunt Audrey, Auntie Ruth, Unc Luke and Momma & Papa Ubel. Lucy may have the most honorary relatives of any baby around in addition to her huge genetically related family. She's pretty adored everywhere she goes. We're feeling awfully lucky.

Sunday Mike gave me a framed photo of Lucy and I that is very reminiscent of another picture of my mother and I that mike framed for me as a gift a few years back. Lucy, Mike and I then headed off to the Fernbank Forest for a nature walk led by every one's favorite naturalist, Eli. She was really engaged with the tree canopy. It might have gotten even more smiles and stares than her best friend the ceiling fan. We're branching out these days. Then, we hopped over to Ruth and Luke's for a magical dinner with Lucy's furriest cousin, Bo.

Altogether it was a great weekend, and we're so lucky to have so many wonderful friends and our fabulous families. Happy Monday to all.

p.s. I plan to be a little better with this blog. I am way too delinquent!
