Lucy is a whole month old today! Pretty crazy how quickly it all goes. Ben and I braved the big "first night out" last night, going for an awesome dinner at our local Gjelina. Their pot of butterscotch is seriously so insanely amazing. Auntie H kindly Lucy-sat for us. I was focused on getting her as tired as possible before we left- so I bathed her (which qualifies as child abuse in Lucy's book), fed her excessively, and then we were off! I did however, forget to change her diaper - and while she can sit in poop for hours on end happy as a clam, a wet diaper is a bit of a national emergency for Lucy- and she kept Auntie H busy with her crying for 99% of our absence... Heidi did brave the whole diaper change thing- and as far as we could tell- did a perfect job- however she did bring a bunch of "product" into the mix- which I confess, confuses me. Lotions and diaper creams were all around- so I think Lucy is plenty moisturized on her bum. Thanks again Heidi!
In other news- Lucy went for her 1 month appointment at the pediatrician's. She continues to gain weight and is now 8 lbs, 15 oz, and 21 inches long. Both putting her right at the 50th percentile. Her head is in the 75th percentile. So she's got a big head. Which makes sense as she is clearly a prodigy and totally advanced for her age in our humble opinions.
Hope everyone is heading into a great weekend. Ben's looking at some good waves today, as well as his much anticipated viewing of Avatar- perhaps I can coerce him into a review for the blog since he thinks it's too baby-centric these days. 70 and sunny here in LA... saw the weather reports for all you suckers back east... looks frigid!

a head in the 75% percentile and still lifting it up on her own....clearly a prodigy!!!
Love the picture of her crying - too cute! So glad you guys braved the first night out on your own - so important! And a "pot of butterscotch" - this sounds like something I need to try....
She'll blow Braden out of the water with her smarts :) He's only 25th percentile! Riley tipped 95th percentile briefly and I was worried! ha. That's so awesome you got a night out together. Did it feel a bit weird at first...like someone was missing?
Amie you intro'd me to the pot o' butterscotch. I need to go back there! Congrats on your first night out. I'm sure Lucy would tell you she was glad you went out if she could.Happy Birthday LUCY!!!
Just confessing, as requested, that this is the third time I've looked at the blog today. I am having Amie, Ben and Lucy withdrawl.
