More Lucie

The howling masses have howled, and we have listened. Without further ado, we bring you:

MORE LUCIE!

Lucie went to see her cousin Fanny last weekend. The slides in Montreuil are really big... but Lucie wasn't scared, which is to say that her parents were scared for her.



Those two are cute...
Lunch at Fanny's
Lucie is more and more a little girlOnce a while, it's good to remember that she's still a baby too.
Feeding the doll, which as one can see, has already lost an eye to malnutrition...
Going to a cafe with mom (or maman, as she's known in these parts)
Looking for dogs and waving at strangers from the cafe window on Saturday morning. Reading a book to her crocodile. I stuck it inside her shirt one morning and she loved it. She paraded around the apartment with it for a while.

Natural History Museum, Part 2

We were all about the Natural History Museum on this trip.

Lucie's Super Aunt

Lucie's Aunt Mo was a super great hostess! Not only did she let us stay with her in NYC for a week, but she even loaned Lucie her boots...

She chased Lucie in the park on the Lower East Side...
She pushed Lucie on the swings in Central Park...
And she helped Lucie nap in her stroller. Notice how Morgane's boots match Lucie's snowsuit! Yep, she really is a super cool Aunt.

Having a coffee with Maman and Dada (as we're called these days) in Brooklyn.
Check Feb 24th 2008 for a similar photo... it's pretty amazing how much bigger she is these days (and how much more tired Dad looks).Taking the subway.

Meeting the Canadians

While in NYC, Lucie got to meet our wannabe Canadian friends. At first, Lucie wasn't so sure about sharing the water bottle with Xander.
In the end, Alana managed to convince her to share with the dog puppet, or as Lucie has it, the oua-oua (pronounced wha-wha).
Of course, we also got to hang out with them, which was great.

Snow bunny

It was Lucie's first major snowfall, and she, as is often the case, adapted without skipping a beat. She was quickly covered in snow, and didn't seem to mind at all.

Zoom in to see the look of glee on her face.

Her parents' stroller was woefully inadequate, and so we had to rely to a more traditional mode of transportation.

Lucie in NYC

Lucie's been having a grand time in NYC. Not only did it snow (stay tuned for a future post), but she's gotten to meet all sorts of people. She went to have pizza with Karen, who is a bit camera shy...

She really enjoyed the pizza, and in particular dipping the crust into the marinara sauce.

She also went to the Natural History Museum with Elizabeth and Michael, Greg's college friends.

She really enjoyed the dinosaurs and the stuffed animal dioramas.

Like a good little New Yorker, she went to Tom's Dinner for breakfast.

Lucie in New York

The whole family's in NYC to visit Lucie's aunt Morgane (and Greg's sister). On the way to New York, Lucie stopped by duty free at Charles de Gaulle airport.
All that a baby needs to be happy: a ball, a bottle (it goes hmmm....), a backpack, and not too much clothing (thank you overheated Columbia housing).

Hide n' Seek

Visiting friends in Antwerp

While Greg was in Malawi (see Greg's Soap Box on the sidebar), Lucie and Michele visited Vanessa and her daughter in Antwerp for two days. Lucie had a great time playing in her seat during the 2 and a half hour train ride.

Vanessa's daughter kindly shared all her toys with Lucie and the two had a great time together.We all went out for pizza for lunch.
Yummy pizza!
