Squeaky Shoes

Lucia loves her Wee Squeaks...it's great that they finally fit her! She had a blast walking around in them at home and in the mall. It's a great way to keep track of where she is, too. You can hear them from quite a distance!

Walking in Rome

Here are the videos the grandparents have been waiting to see!

Mmm...Gelato!

Here's Lucia enjoying her first ice cream cone. She devoured the thing. Needless to say, anytime I had one, she had to have one too. C'mon, we were in Italy!

A Break from the Sightseeing

Of course we managed to find a playground for Lucia to have some fun. Here she is in Rome's Villa Borghese park.

Gotta Watch Those UV Rays

After having me put sunscreen on her every so often, Lucia finally caught on. Here she is trying to apply it herself, rubbing the stick on her legs :)

Touring Italy

Just some random photos of us in Rome.

Sleeping Beauty

While traveling three continents in just over a week, Lucia catches up on her beauty sleep in the basinette on the plane.

Cabin Fever!

Just a few shots of Lucia hanging out at the cabin in Indiana.

Every Girl Needs a Tutu...

Surprise!

Lucia and I pulled off our HUGE surprise when we showed up at the Indianapolis airport to meet Nana and Grandpa. "You're supposed to be in Thailand!" yelled Nana across the baggage claim area. Here's the look of shock on Nana's face and Lucia thinking "what's with this lady?" (You can see Grandpa in the background, too.)

Dolphinarium

At the end of July we chose to spend one hot day at the Dubai Dolphinarium. Lucia had a great time and even gave the animals a round of applause.
