Lucy recently had her two week check-up. Her doctor says she is doing great and is obviously eating well!
Here are her stats:
Height: 21 inches (73%)
Weight: 8lbs, 10oz (56%)
Head: 13 3/4 in (36%)
We were shocked when we saw how much she weighed! When Lucy was born, she weighed 7 lbs, 13oz. When she was two days old, she weighed 7lbs, 7oz. When she was 6 days old, she weighed 7lbs, 11oz. So, "little" Lucy gained almost a pound from the age of 6 days to two weeks! Then, I took her in a couple of days ago (at the age of 3 weeks), and she weighed 9lbs, 7oz!!!!
Lucy continues to be an absolute joy! She is so very, very calm! She has finally learned how to cry, but we have only heard her do it a couple of times. She is extremely tolerant of her brother. Jack loves to give her "high fives" and isn't always gentle when he does it, but she never seems bothered by him. Jack also loves to give her hugs and kisses, again, not always the most gentle.

Meeting Lucy
Jay's parents and sister made the trip up to see little Lucy. They were so excited to meet her and to see Jack again. Jack was thrilled to have them come and spoil him!

Letter to our Neighbors
To whom it may concern:
Yes, we do still have our Christmas lights up. Yes, we do realize that we have had many nice days since Christmas and yet have not taken them down. Yes, we do realize that we are the last ones in the neighborhood to still have them decorating our house and front yard. Yes, we do realize that the timer is still set so that they go on every night from 5pm to 11pm. Yes, we do realize that it is now March.
Are we lazy? Nope. Are we too busy? Nope? Are we waiting for someone to volunteer to do it for us? Nope, not that either.
If you were in our home at 5pm, you would know why we have decided to forgo any social rule about Christmas lights. At 5pm, when the lights magically turn on, the excitement that erupts from this little boy of ours is absolutely contagious. He immediately starts exclaiming, "LIGHTS! LIGHTS! LIGHTS! DADDY'S LIGHTS!!!!!!!" He races around and makes sure that everyone is aware that the lights are now on and then stands in the window to gaze out at the wondrous lights. That is why we still are willing to look like lazy schmucks who haven't taken down the Christmas lights, our sons excitement is worth letting go of any social rule.
Now, why have we not reset the timer so that they turn off at Jack's bedtime instead of leaving them on until 11pm? Well, I guess my only answer on that one is that sometimes we are lazy schmucks.
Sincerely,
The family with the highest electricity bill on the block
