So, my family and I went to the beach in Stone Harbor, New Jersey for a week in August -- which, I'm told, is a family tradition of sorts. (I'm sure Mommy and Daddy are making that part up, since as we all know, time began when I was born!) I know how to walk now, and even run a little....
..... but sometimes I stumble a little, which is how I end up looking like this. Sand really doesn't taste too bad when you wash it down with some juice from a sippee cup that is also full of sand! (Nice closeup, Daddy! Next time, why don't you just stick the lens up my nostril?!)

Mommy thought she was giving me a little break here, but really it was me giving her a break. Within moments of this photo being taken, I was making another dash for the ocean! (Or was that when I started terrorizing other beachgoers by taking their stuff and getting in their faces and waving? Can't remember which.)
I really didn't need my hand held, but I didn't want to hurt Daddy's feelings by saying that.
Mommy and Daddy tried to take me on a bike ride, which might've been OK except they made me wear this stupid helmet. I wasn't having any part of that. Hey, nobody infringes on my personal freedoms! Needless to say, the "bike ride" didn't last very long before Mommy had to turn around and go get the car.
Here's Daddy and I getting ready to go to dinner. Anyone care to venture a guess as to who bought me this stylish pearl-snap Western shirt? Daddy said he didn't wear his because he was afraid people would mistake us for twins. (That's ironic, if you ask me, since the other day I heard someone ask if he was my grandfather.)
I know, I know... You don't have to say it. I'm cute. What can I say?
Putt-Putt on a rainy day. I didn't want to show anybody up, so I agreed to caddy for Mommy. She missed this putt even though I gave her the speed and the break.
I like to do headstands in the sand (see above). Unfortunately, this is one of the unintended consequences. Oh well, that's what baby shampoo is for.
We capped off the week with a trip to the boardwalk with Uncle Joe and Aunt Darlene. Aunt Darlene won a game of water-pistol balloon racing and selected this... um... blue gorilla creature as her prize, which she promptly dumped on me. I was pretty tired by this point, so unless it had boobies that gave milk -- which it didn't -- I wasn't too interested. But I've grown to like the poor, goofy bastard!
And finally, for all you fans of my Top 10 Lists....

OK, folks, that's all for now. I'll be back with a new post after my birthday party next weekend. To be honest, I'm kind of alarmed over how quickly my age is increasing. It's, like, exponential, dude! But I'll get over it -- as long as my presents meet my standards, and my cake is yummy!

Well, Lucinda, you are indeed quite something. A doll, in fact. However, you're not going to like hearing that on Sept. 24 the picture of you in the delivery room bassinet is once again going to be shown at a conference in England--this time to a bunch of British philosophers. How about that!
When your Dad gets Uncle Fritz's trombone, I hope he'll take a picture of you with it.
Lotsa love from
Great Auntie Ellen
Great to see that you are keeping the Schrack family-Stone Harbor tradition !!
Love you,your Mommy & Daddy
Great-Aunt Barbara
You are such a cutie, Lucinda! I really need to come down to Baltimore to meet you one of these days. I sure do miss your Mommy - it's been way too long since I've seen her! I'll never forget the summer I got to go on the Stone Harbor vacation (do you remember that Amy?) Maybe the next time you guys come to Philadelphia you can come by our house for dinner on the way home! We have TONS of great toys.
Love, Jacquelynn
Loved the update and the top ten list is hilarious!! I have actually tried (honestly) to purposely have my hair look like that (the video of you running on the beach) but it looks nowhere near as good as yours. Hope you come down to visit me and you can share your secret!! From the videos, it sure looks like you keep your mom and dad busy keeping up with you! Hugs and kisses to all of you. Matt
ps - happy slightly belated birthday #1. Hope you got my card in the mail :-)
