Lucy girl is 3 months old!

Little Lu has brought us 3 months of incredible happiness! Dan and I just talked about the whole day(s) of labor and were thinking about how the love was so great when she first came out and was put on my chest. But even though we thought that was the biggest love we could feel, it just keeps growing every day! She is just our little best friend!

Height: 24 inches
Weight: 12 pounds
Eating: Lucy still has the same sleeping and eating schedule. Amazing little sleeper! Lucy was taking a bottle for Dad every night until we went to California but she refuses now. Only breast feeding for our little princess :)
Likes: reaching for animals on her floor mat, taking runs with mom in the jogging stroller, seeing herself in the mirror and going to Disney World!
Dislikes: still hates being in the car unless she is sleeping and tummy time. Let's add bottles to this list!
Nicknames: Still the same :) We love our little Lu!
Clothing size: 0-3 months
Diapers: size 1
Milestones: Lucy is starting to give little giggles when we give her lots of kisses or looks in the mirror. It is the most happy sound in the world to us! She pushing her head up on tummy time better and continues to rock back and forth but is not rolling over yet.

Lucy's First Penn State Game


It was a nice quiet tailgate weekend for Lucy's first game. Auntie Liz even bought her a cute little fan outfit! We had a relaxing morning at the townhouse and Mommy got to go for a nice hill training run while Dad and Granddad watched Lucy. It was incredible weather and Lucy loved looking around at all the sights at the stadium. Great family weekend!

The DC Cherry Blossoms

Perfection! Our little Lucy came in perfect timing to see our last cherry blossom season in DC. I can't even describe how much I will miss this place. I know that Ohio will be a great change for our family and I'm thrilled about our new house, but it is so sad to leave the city life and our fabulous friends. We were planning on meeting with Maj and Mitch and Emma and Phil and all the kids, but the Matthews clan (3 kids under 3) didn't make it. It was crazy crowded but well worth it for the pictures and sights. Lucy loved looking around!

















Happy Easter!

Lucy's first Easter was a beautiful weekend in Pittsburgh. We celebrated with the Cybulski's on Saturday and the Edgar's on Sunday! Aunt Karen hosted a beautiful and delicious dinner at her new house and Lucy loved being passed around and meeting more relatives. We celebrated at Aunt Dianne's house on Sunday for a lunch and drove back to Bethesda later on Easter night. Beautiful holiday celebrating that Jesus is risen!

Two Months Old

Our teeny baby girl is 2 months old! She has truly been our biggest and best accomplishment and I am so proud to be her mama. We truly couldn't ask for a better baby. She sleeps through the night and allows me to keep working out. We started running with the jogging stroller this month and Lucy just loves to sleep the whole time. She is my little cheerleader! 

Height: 22.8 inches 
Weight: 10.4 pounds
Eating: Lucy eats every 2-3 hours during the day. She goes to sleep around 8:00-8:30 and stays sleeping until about 5 AM. I feed her and she will usually go back to sleep for an hour or so (and so do I!) She started sleeping through the night (7 hour stretches) around 7 weeks old. 
Likes: baths (Lucy took her first real bath in California and now she LOVES it), staring at mom and dad, stroller walks, sleeping and stretching after her swaddle comes undone!
Dislikes: being awake in her car seat is still not her favorite time! and tummy time 
Nicknames: Lucy Goose, Luce, Little Peanut, Goose, Tiny girl, Lulu, Lu 
Clothing size: 0-3 months 

Diapers: size 1 
Milestones: Lucy gave us her first smile at 6 weeks old. It melted our hearts!
