It was really hot in the valley today (100 degrees!), so Lucy and I decided to go to the beach at Half Moon Bay.
She saw the Pacific up close and personal for the first time! She got to hold seaweed, saw lots of doggies, and watched the waves crashing and the tide go in and out. She definitely wants to come back!

Cooking w/ Gma from Mike C on Vimeo.
The kid and her mom got their first cooking primers from Gma this past weekend. Since they’re both big lumpia fans, it was fitting that their inaugural lesson centered on the fried treats. Who knows, maybe Lucy will be in charge of bringing the lumpia at a future get-together!

Even though Lucy is still nursing, and doesn’t have any back teeth yet (just the 8 in front), she always likes to test out new food, esp. whatever you’re having.
She will fill her cheeks like a chipmunk and wait for whatever it is to dissolve, or swallow with a big gulp. She has been to IKEA’s cafeteria for lunch several times and had cookies and tea in the cafe at Filoli.
Recent menu items she has savoured include this huge tuna sandwich (nope, she didn’t eat the whole thing!) and yogurt (she refused 2 different spoons in favor of licking it out of the tub, getting it all over her face up to her eyebrows!)
This weekend though was her first night out at a real restaurant, full of noise and lots of people. She went with Gpa Tom and Gma Karen (and her parents of course) to an Italian restaurant on Saturday night, so it was really busy.
She was patient while we waited for a table, enjoyed the crayons and the kids menu, ate some macaroni and some chicken, and had a lot of fun playing with the straw for her water. We saw a few other babies, some crying, but not her! Her dad gives her a 10 out of 10 for her first night out!

Today Lucy got to meet Isidora, who was visiting from windy Paris.
We had lunch at a cafe in the shopping center right next to a big Easter egg display. Lucy was fascinated by the giant eggs and the tall white rabbit walking around in the egg forest, that is, until he (it?) noticed her and came over to say hello. Seeing that big white rabbit up close and personal was too much for Lucy, and she started crying. Even when the rabbit offered her a bendy toy rabbit, she would not have any of it.
So we made a quick getaway, diverting her attention to some delicious looking pastries nearby (see pic). I think she will stick to the chocolate Easter kitty (Wubert) for now.
We hope to see Isidora again soon, maybe next time chez elle!
