Connoisseur

Lucy is enjoying a traditional Sunday lunch. Chicken with all the trimmings.

What would be the best sauce to complement this dish? A traditional bread sauce? Perhaps a Velouté? A rich chicken gravy? Maybe Béchamel? Nope - tomato ketchup. Apparently it works with anything.

Sprout Pizza

Lucy is having one of her favorite dinners. Sprout pizza.

Mummy is having sprout pizza as well

006 and a Bit

Aunty Pink is reading Lucy a thrilling spy adventure

Well, maybe not all that thrilling

Fashion

Mummy and Lucy have decided to dress up as rabbits. Mummy opts for the simple bunny ear costume. Being rather more adventurous, Lucy augments the ears with tights for a hat, socks for gloves and gloves for feet.

It's a very good look.

What?

Venus Fly Trap

Lucy and Panda are learning about Venus Fly Traps at Kew. Lucy is operating the fly lowering mechanism and Panda, with Daddies assistance, is operating the fly trap, attempting to catch the fly.

Panda tries to psych the little fly out

This is intense stuff as Lucy and Panda play cat and mouse, or indeed fly and trap.

The two friends are having a great time.

Mummy takes over assisting Panda

Science can be fun!

Buried

Lucy has decided that she wants to be buried in the sand pit. So she gets Mummy to start covering her up.

Poor old Panda is getting a bit covered as well. Friendship comes at a cost.

Lucy is unimpressed by the amount of sand that Mummy has managed to cover her in.

So she manages to persuade all the other children playing in the sandpit to join in. Everyone has a great time.

Sand Pit

Lucy and her best friend Panda are at Climbers and Creepers in Kew Gardens

They emerge from exploring the Hideaway Home

Then it's a trip to the sand pit to dig for buried fossils

Firstly Lucy buries her little puppy in a mound sand

Then she attempts to shove sand up her jumper

With Panda

Lucy just chillin with her best friend, Panda.

Self Portrait

No - this isn't a photo of Lucy. It is a picture that she drew of herself. Pretty accurate actually.

Artist

Lucy is quite the little artist

She also likes her artistic earrings

Playground in Richmond Park

We're in the playground in Richmond Park near Petersham gate. Lucy kindly agrees to drive us all in her train.

Then he has a hilarious ride on the springy seat thing

Mayonnaise Finger

Lucy loves mayonnaise. On anything. Or even just by itself.

Suits You

Lucy is going for a ride on her new Trunki suit case.

Shark

In order to keep her shark happy, Lucy force feeds it crayons.

Startled

Snooze

Bushy Park

What a great day to pop on your wellies and duffle coat and go for a walk around Bushy Park.

Mummy accompanies Lucy

A nice picture from Bushy Park at sunset

Dinosaurs

We're on a day trip to the National History Museum. Lucy knows all about dinosaurs from the documentary film Ice Age 3.

Lucy reviews the photographs Uncle Stewby has taken.

But what she enjoys the most is going on the train

Ballet

Lucy appears to have the ideal bone structure for Ballet

1/1/11

A sleepy Lucy is woken up for a special treat on New Years eve. She gets to watch the fireworks display on TV at midnight with Mummy, Daddy, Pink and Stewby.

Nana Moo

Lucy goes on a Christmas visit to Nana Moo

Lucy's First Bike

As a very special surprise, when we get home from Yorkshire we discovers that Pink and Stewby have got Lucy her first bike. Less of a surprise is that it is pink. With princesses on it. Very pink. Being very responsible they have also included a helmet (also pink). In fact the only shock is that the high visibility jacket isn't pink.

(Incidentally - this is far funnier when it has "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac playing in the background as originally intended. Unfortunately YouTube spotted my use of their tune and disabled the audio in a cruel and heartless example of corporate spoilsportiness. So if you wouldn't mind humming it from 29 seconds in - you know - the theme music from Formula One)

Lucy and Temujin

Lucy has gone round to see Uncle Matt and Temujin

Lucy helps Temujin ride his new tricycle

Scrunchy Face!

Christmas Presents

After Christmas Dinner it is time to open all the presents that Father Christmas has "broke".

Lucy loves opening presents

What a result! Aunty Tiss has given Lucy Bullseye from Toy Story 3. "It's just what I wisheded for" says Lucy. (No - not that one. This one)

Uncle Stewby takes a tactical snooze when the excitement gets too much.

Lucy nearly explodes with joy when she sees her next present.

It's Jessie! (No not that one, this one!). Well done Grandma and Grandad.

This is how a room should look after opening Christmas presents. Not sure what Jonny is doing with that Barbie doll though!
