The promised video...

Here is a video of Lucia giving the stink eye to Mom and Dad one night at dinner (you have to click on the picture, and it will take you to the video):

Lucia at 17 Months Old!

We've had some sickness moving around the Garrett household for the past week or so, but hopefully we'll be in the clear soon! Lucia had the worst of it - a really bad cough for a few days and a nose that kept on running... But we wanted to share some recent photos of Lucia - she just keeps getting bigger and more talkative (and more assertive!). Here are some photos, and in a bit, I'm going to post a video - stay tuned!

I love to finger paint!


Hanging out with Aunt Tricia:



At the Field Museum with my new friend Aubrey who lives around the corner from us:

Xmas in Txas

We had a good time visiting family in Texas for the holidays, so we thought we'd share several pictures from our time there.

"Wow"


Hanging out with my cousin (and new best friend!) Emily:



Walking with Grammy and Papi:



With Mom by the river:




Static electricity!!

3 hour naps are slammin'

Hey friends. I am ecstatic to tell you all that I am writing this post from our brand spankin' new, shiny green Dell laptop which should hopefully enable much more frequent posting. Old faithful was getting slower and slower to the painful point of death and we are very happy that he has retired and we are on to greener pastures. Literally.

Just a quick hello to say we're all alive and that Lucia is just waking up from a 3 hour nap. That's right, three hours, ladies and gents. Only took us 16 months to get here and we are loving every single snoozing moment.

Loads of holiday pics, videos and fun to come soon!

Updated photos/video

Some recent photos and videos for you!

Hanging out in the leaves:


Reading with mom:


A budding soccer star!


At the park:



Penguins!


My boots may be a little big, but my magnets are delicious:

Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen!

Sorry it's been so long, everyone... Here are a few photos of recent fun times with Lucy.

A very cute octopus! Here is Lucy with Aunt Patricia and then again with mom and dad.


A fun day in the park:

Touchdown, Bears!

Another day in the park with dad:

Enjoying a scrumptious red carrot from the back yard garden:

We will try to post more again soon!

Happy Birthday, Lucia!

Lucia turns ONE today (it's the 8th today, even though the post says it's the 7th)! Pretty exciting. We thought we'd post a couple videos to commemorate the occasion - the first one is what Lucy was doing last year around this time; the next is much more recent!

I love grilled corn!


Thanks for the birthday cash, mom and dad.
