Toofs

Guess who cut not just 1, but 2 teeth this past week!! Yup, you guessed it, it was Trey! Good job honey, I could not be more proud! No, actually it was Luce. Crazy huh! It seems a bit early to me because I'm pretty sure she won't be using those chompers anytime soon. She really hasn't even started eating solids yet, except for the occasional serving of rice cereal that she ends up wearing and not actually ingesting.

It was so nice to finally figure out why she had been waking up several times a night for the prior 2 weeks (she's usually such a good lil sleeper). I thought she was just doing it to make us crazy. I have a lot more sympathy for her now, that growing teeth business has got to be painful. Poor little cookie. I tried to get a picture of them but it will be a 2 person job because that fast little tongue always gets in the way.

In other news, we're headed to Ohio next week for Thanksgiving! Woot woot, I've been sooo craving an adventure. This will be Lucy's first road trip. I hope she just zonks out for most of the drive, otherwise it could be an interesting ride. We're going to hang out with Trey's Aunt Lo, Gma Donna, and a bunch of Trey's extended fam who I have never met. Should be fun! Can you believe Thanksgiving is already next week??!! Where does the time go? Seriously!

Well here are some pics of Luce for all of her fans out there. She's getting bigger! The little monkey will be 6 months on the 29th!!!

Here she is showing a little leg...

Ha ha ha, she is fascinated by the camera.

She just started to hold her own bottle! Now that she has teeth she thinks she has to go all "big girl" on us.

Just getting her lounge on.

Lucy face!

Another Lucy face


I'll try to get a toofer picture and post it soon. I have some Lucy footage that I need to post also.

One word...

D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G!!!

Look at this creature I found on as I was sweeping off our patio!!! It gives me the willies just looking at it. Check out all the legs coming out from every which way!! And those long antennas coming from its head and bum! These little devils are fast, I'm surprised I got a picture of it. It was about 2 inches long. I had my first encounter with one of these bad boys my second week here, but it got away! And it was in the house!! Eeek!! Never did find it...
Well I'm happy to say that this one did not get away, I squashed that nasty bugger. Hopefully I don't see one of its relatives coming to get revenge any time soon. I'm NOT a fan of the creepy crawlies.

Spooky Scary

Can you believe it's November already? And sure enough I feel like I'm already being bombarded with Christmas stuff...it's November people! Come on! Let us celebrate the beautiful holiday of Thanksgiving first, shall we? Eeesh! Okay I'm done ranting.

Well the fall leaves are quite pretty out here in the Hersh. I had Trey take pics of me and Luce by our tree right outside of our apartment.





Trey got all artsy with this one, I thought it turned out pretty cool.


My pretty-eyed family...Trey's definitely got that crazy look in his eye



Here is our happy little punkin family


Here they are all lit up...Trey carved the Zero skull, I carved Bubs from Homestarrunner, and Lucy carved her name with a heart next to it. Clever girl eh?
And here is the Lucinator's costume...





Cutest little owl I ever did see! We went trick-or-treating to a few of our friend's apartments here at the manor. Luce wasn't a very happy camper so we had to keep it brief. It will be fun next year when she can actually eat some of the candy she gets.
