We just got back from a get-together at my mom’s place. It was great getting caught up, eating (of course), and just relaxing. Lucy got a chance to play with her cousins. She gets so excited, flapping her arms and constantly moving about. Her cousins must constantly tell her to stay in one place when they play catch because Lucy can’t stand still.
February hasn’t been the best of months. A good friend had a bit of a rough month health-wise. Fortunately, though things were looking a little hairy for a while, he’s doing a lot better now.
Stuff I’ve watched/read this month:
movies & books

Misc. February Events
Wubert is Lucy’s best friend, worst enemy, and favorite toy. He is a very patient cat.
He endures from her things which he would never tolerate from anyone else…like being dressed in hats and covered in blankets.
He has seen her grow from a tiny baby, and it seems he knows her vulnerability, and that she is little, and still growing.
He loves to play with her, and when she is asleep, he often sits next to her, watchfully, or if it has been a very long nap, prods her to wake up so he can play with her.
He rarely bites or scratches, unless he is really provoked. It takes a lot to get him to do it, and she almost always deserves it.
Even when he is napping, he always seems to have an ear cocked listening for her. The vet says this is the kind of interaction that will keep him young, keeping his mind active and occupied.
So here’s to you Wubie, the very patient cat!
I found a neat tool online, The Squirrelizer, that lets users make their own Squirrel Crasher pics. Check it out if you find yourself thinking your photographs need that little something extra.
A few weeks ago we got together with friends on a warm afternoon for a barbecue.
Lucy loved eating outdoors, playing with the other kids, and generally romping around. We even found a caterpillar…
Lucy was so enthralled by dining al fresco, she wanted to have dessert outside too…even after it got a bit chilly and everyone else had gone inside.
A good time was had by all!
We three ladies (Lucy, Kitty and I) went to tea, and a few dollies came along too…the whole kit and caboodle of pics here…
It was Lucy’s first trip to a tea parlour, though she has had tea actually on several occasions (lukewarm and watered down of course).
She was very interested in exploring the salon and the lovely items displayed throughout (especially the dolls)…
so it took some persuading and the promise of ice cream to get her back in her chair…
Afterwards, we wandered around, looking in the shops, and found one displaying some rather familiar friends…
Special thanks to Kitty for meeting us for tea, and also for all the lovely books and presents she had for Miss Lucy. We must do this again soon!
