Lily's day on the town

Lily and I went into the city today to meet daddy for her hip ultrasound. We got a coffee downtown, rode the train to the hospital in midtown, and were delighted to fin out that her hips are as perfect as can be! She was SO well behaved for the test and got compliments from the radiologist. Of course.

She and I played hooky for the rest of the day, since Jacob was with the babysitter. We walked around the Village, went to a couple bookstores, did some shopping, and relaxed in the park. It was some very special mommy/daughter bonding time. Thanks, Zach, for financing our outing! New York is just fabulous when the sun is out and the humidity is low. Here's hoping that trend continues!

The devastation...

...when he realized he couldn't ACTUALLY drive the zipcar.

Life is hard. Hearts get broken.

Jacob is the Driver-Man!

Lily's 2 month check up

11 lbs, 12 oz! 78th percentile for weight. That's my girl.

She's fat, she's happy, and doing all the cooing, smiling, arm waving things that babies are supposed to do!

The only red flag is that she seems to have "asymmetrical leg folds", which could indicate that her hips are misaligned. So we're taking her in for an ultrasound next week to make sure everything is okay.

Next checkup is at 4 months- by then she'll be huge!

More fathers day pics!

Father's Day 2011

We got to celebrate Father's Day by taking Zach out to breakfast and then driving upstate to see Jacob's and Lily's Great-Grandpa, Jadick Tadeusz. All of the Luksic cousins were there, and they had a wonderful time playing with the kids. Lily has many new fans, especially her Great Grandmother!



Happy Father's Day, Zach! You are the most amazing dad ever, and you deserve more than one day a year celebrating you for all the hard work you do. We love you!

Our morning exploration

Jacob's account of the morning:
"fire engine...firefighter...hoses (not pictured)...birds...big stroller (the double stroller)...baby stroller...birds...big birds (swans)...ducks...bridge...big rocks...fire fighter!"

I wish I'd gotten a picture of the fire truck- it obviously made an impression! They were doing maintenance in the park and one of the fire fighters came over to talk to us. Best day ever.

My cuties

Peekaboo!

I like turtles!



Lily doesn't seem old enough to have hand/eye coordination and be batting at things, but she always seems to make very consistent contact with this little turtle. What do you think?

Morning Smiles

Lily slept all the way through the night last night, only waking to eat at 5:45 and then falling back to sleep until almost 8! She was so happy that she blessed us with lots of smiles!

Jacob's 2 year check up

Jacob had his 2 year check up today! He is such a big boy- 29.5 lbs, which is in the 65th percentile. And this was our shrimpy little baby! He was very cooperative and social with Dr. Julie and didn't even cry when he got his "medicine" shot. We were very proud of him. As a reward, we took the subway home instead of walking, and he kept saying "some people on the subway train! Mommy on the train! Daddy on the train! Jacob, Lily on the train!" and talking about Dr. Julie and the picture of Curious George with the balloons that was at her office. I can't believe how big he is.

Swing

Lily got a new swing, so the bouncy chair is now up for grabs.
