Firsts

Today was a day of firsts over here.
How many can we count? Let us see:

1. First grocery trip with ALL THREE girls and it was NOT a disaster!! That might have had something to do with movie in the car, cookie immediately upon entering, plethora of blankies, water bottles, and pacifiers, trips to see the lobsters and the fish in the tanks and rides on the penny horse-- but still, not a disaster. No pictures were taken.
2. First pair of leggings purchased by yours truly. Ever. We will see if they work as a remedy to my current situation. I will surely update you, I always do.
3. First time little Lucy has worn jeans. I'd say she is working them. 

Pay no attention to the purple finger nail behind the baby head. 
Go Steelers!!

Right. And the most important first of the day was the first time I successfully captured a smile from tiny 4-week-old and photographer of the year over here...

Nailed it.
Seriously, how the heck can someone who so frequently photographs her progeny fail so miserably at it so often? A question better left unanswered. But you get the idea, she is smiling and I was dying.

All three girls have smiled by 4 weeks, but she is way more of a performer than her sisters, who still looked stoned in their 1 month pictures (and she's not even a full month yet).

Naomi, Bernadette and Lucy: the first 2 at 1 month, the third at 4 weeks exactly: even with the half-smirk, Lucy still wins.

 And here are the others, because I (and you if you are really honest with yourself) can't get enough.
