Almost 5 months

Lucanne will turn 5 months this week and she is growing like a weed. Last week I weighed her at almost 15 1/2 lbs. At her last "well baby" check-up she was in the 75th percentile for height, weight, and head size.


Every day she does something new and every day she makes me laugh.

She is a great baby and a pretty happy one too. In normal baby fashion, she causes her Mommy to freak out on occasion - like deciding to roll off the couch on Saturday. She is trying to crawl across the couch as I type now...


Lucanne loves to look at photos, especially photos in magazines. She loves to play with the pages and try to turn them on her own. Given the opportunity they will end up in her maw in a soggy mess! I am certain that she will be a competitive catalog shopper!!


One of Lucanne's newest tricks is to stick her fingers in her mouth and blow like she were whistling. It is adorable, but very messy!! She also loves to be bounced and even startled with a game of peek-a-boo.


Perhaps because she still has no hair, or perhaps it is because it is so darned cute our dear friends Jason and Linda found her this adorable strawberry knitted cap:

Don't let her expression fool you...she loves it, but thought it tasted better than it looked on her!

Lucanne isn't much of a napper, but there are probably few things she likes more than her Loki. If only Loki was spaciously aware enough to lay next to her, not on her they both might get more naps. But Lucanne loves her Loki enough to let her lay on a limb or two for a while!
