Lucy has lots of adopted aunties. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m an only child, so my close friends have often felt like family. That being the case, Lucy has no shortage of amazing women to shower her with lots of love, cuddles and gifts! I think everyday about how blessed we are to have people who love us so much.
Lucy also has a real aunt — Hubs’ sister who lives back East. This weekend she came out to meet Lucy for the first time. It was so fun and so heartwarming to see the two of them together. She even made Lucy laugh for the first time! It was the best sound in the world. Hubs and I have been trying in vain to replicate it, but apparently Aunt R is funnier than we are.
It was a gorgeous weekend in Los Angeles, and we took advantage by going to Santa Monica on Saturday to have lunch and walk near the beach, and yesterday we walked down to our local farmers market.

Today Hubs doesn’t have to work, and we celebrated by sleeping in (otherwise known as getting up with Lucy at 6:00 then going back to bed till 8:00) and having bagels from our favorite place. Right now he’s getting a haircut, then I’m going to get a pedicure (I haven’t gotten my nails done since Lucy was born and I’ve actually ripped a hole in a sock with my clawlike toenails. I know, ew) and go grocery shopping. I don’t know that I ever would have considered that a terribly exciting day, but I’m loving it now! Then tonight Hubs and I are having a date night while my parents watch Lucy, which we haven’t done in a few weeks. I wouldn’t trade my days and nights with Lucy for anything, but I admit it will be nice to take a quick break from focusing on Lucy’s sleep patterns (which are definitely improving slowly but surely, but it can be taxing being the nap police!) This week if her naps continue to get better I also hope to have time to do some more substantive blogging. On tap: an update on my struggles with my oldest friendship, thoughts on work/life balance, and more!
Loving Lucy
