Lucy LOVES her playmat. As you can see it has so many things to look at, feel, and apparently even taste! Scott and I love it too because it keeps Lucy entertained on her own for awhile.

Based on these pleasant pictures you may be surprised to know that lately Lucy has been crying/screaming a lot and sleeping very poorly. We think this is due at least in part to a milk allergy that first showed up a couple of weeks ago when she started getting hives every time she ate. I cut cow's milk products out of my diet about 2 weeks ago so we think we are (hopefully!) starting to see some improvement in her now. We have learned through this process that Lucy has a very strong set of lungs and she is not afraid to use them. Amazingly, when she is not crying inconsolably she is a very happy and smiley baby.
