Lucy's birthday videos

Here are a couple of our videos from her birthday--cake time! Don't mock the singing; I know, we're good.



All of the sugar and lack of sleep are getting to her... everything is suddenly so funny!

Big girl, big girl...

Lucy moved up to a "big girl" bed last week to celebrate her big girl status as a 2-year-old (and because her doctor told us we could NOT wait any longer with her being so tall... mostly because of her doctor, I'll admit). So... we bit the bullet and bought a nice little toddler bed on Craig's list. I was mentally preparing myself for the loss of sleep that was likely to come from this new adventure, but it's actually turned out really well! She only woke up twice, and she may even be going to bed easier now than before. She's excited to be a "big girl" and runs to her room at bed time and nap time. In addition to this, she's graduated to a big girl chair at the table (no more high chair, finally)! Yay for Lucy! And THANKS for being so good (so far).

Happy Birthday Lucy!

Better late than never, I always say. :) It was Lucy's birthday on the 16th, almost 2 weeks ago. She's 2! She LOVED it this year. Her grandma Colleen and grandpa Bob were able to help us celebrate, which was wonderful! We were so happy to have them here, for more reasons than one. I'm working on uploading a video from her birthday, but these pics will have to do for now.

We went out to lunch and Lucy got her very own ice cream sundae! Yippee! I think her eyes were as big as the cup when she saw it.



Lucy's birthday cake... I WAS going to do a really cute Clifford theme, but ended up going into super time-saver mode and buying at Albertson's. I'll be better next year.



She loved the tiara and "magic" wand, though.



And she wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to be pretty, even daddy... What was her favorite part, you might ask?




Playing in her super sweet tent (thanks gma and gpa) all weekend! I think we all actually had a pretty good time playing in her tent.

January in CT (finally!)

I'm finally getting some of our CT photos up. I can't believe I'm such a slacker. Anyway, we had a lot of fun, as you can see from the photos. :) Thanks mom and dad for letting us crash at your place for a while, and we're SO glad your leg is finally on the mend, mom. :) Love you!
