In March Lucy celebrated her five-month birthday, which happened to fall on her first St. Patrick’s Day. (It was a busy photo day in the Flinn household—at least three costume changes.)

Because the end of February brought more-than-expected amounts of snow to Raleigh, we enjoyed a few snow days together.

Lucy’s Pop-Pop and Aunt Christine came to visit in February, too, and everyone’s amazed with how much she’s grown.

Lucy’s fine motor skills are improving every day, and now when we play with her animal flashcards she grabs them and studies intently.

She even gave Daddy a hand with some grading at the dining room table!

And every once in a while we can even get her to smile for the camera.
