For most of the last week we've had really nice weather, so we've started taking Lucy out in the evenings to sit on the sidewalk and explore the ground. A couple years ago we dug up our front lawn to put in raised garden beds, and we have a back deck instead of a back yard, so we've adopted the front sidewalk and accompanying lawn strip as our official front yard. I like to think of it as a small, pesticide free, local park.
As long as Lucy can get her hands in the rocks and grass and dirt, she doesn't seem to mind one way or the other.
She loves to stare and wave at Rudy, the barking dog that lives across the street, and she gets really excited when Rudy wags her tail.
Being outside so much has also given us a lot of time to get to know the neighbors better. The slightly older kids are very excited about Lucy, especially the parts where you can throw grass on her head and try to get her to eat flowers. ("She'll eat anything!")
Lucky girl to have so many future friends waiting in the wings.
P.S. If this face is not the spitting image of her father, I don't know what is.
