Lucie is 20 months today! She had a great day because she was able to visit a children's museum called the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum that has educational and sensory exhibits, fun games and activities and so many more things for children of all ages. Lucie loves spending time here. Today, she played with some new friends and some familiar ones that we see at the library in our neighborhood.
It is fun to watch her interactions with other children. She is usually quite social and friendly. Today, she showed another little girl how to blow bubbles! Imagine, Lucie as teacher! When it was time to leave, she didn't make a fuss. She left happily, perhaps knowing that Papa will be taking her here again very soon!
This month, we took Lucie to an historic farm in Ann Arbor where she was able to feed the goats. What a great experience for her and we are happy to see how much she enjoyed being near the animals.
Lucie is getting less and less "chubby" as she is expending so much more energy running around everywhere these days. She has two more upper teeth that are just beginning to show. She has four teeth right now. Because she has few teeth, we are still giving her plenty of purées and soft foods. So far, she has been pretty open minded about food. She loves fruit and also any kind of bread, especially brioche and croissant --- a real French girl!
Lately, when she wants something, she makes these whining sounds. We are trying to encourage her to say Maman/Papa, s'il tu plait. Mostly, she says, 'Maman', with one hand on her heart. Hard to say 'no' to that! Of course, we are looking forward to hearing Lucie say real words. She talks to her poupee and Mouton so much, we would love to know what she's saying!
