Lucy's second birthday

What a perfect day to have a party outside!

Lucy might have been more excited about the princess ariel paper than she was about opening her gift. She was so patient and waited all morning to be able to open up her present.
Lucy modeled her new princess nightie from Max and Tyler. She was on her phone all night to Max to thank him for the gifts (and the sponge bob sticker on the box it came in!)
My masterpiece...................the princess castle cake that Lucy told everyone about for her birthday. Her favorite part was the gumballs on the top! She chewed them for an hour or so....but I lost track of her towards the end of the party and don't quite know where the gum ended up, maybe her belly, or maybe I'll find it someday in her playroom.

Saturday Lucy turned 2!!! I can hardly believe it. She is an amazing little girl, who is blossoming right before our eyes. She talks non-stop, and I try to write down some of the funny things she says. Her new word is "probably".....in Lucy words "probly". As in "Kady's probly hungry"--the minute she cries, or "Kady probly dreeming"--when she makes noise in her sleep, or in response to a question, like would you like to eat "probly". She even says "probly" when asked if she would like to start going potty on a tolite and not in her diaper!!

Sunday we celebrated with a family party. It was so awesome to have everyone there and to just hang out and relax on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The kids all played so well together and it was fun to see how much each one is growing!

I really want Lucy to know what a beautiful girl she is! She makes me laugh and smile even on the cloudiest of days. She has a strong sense of self already, but is the sweetest, most gentle soul you can find. She reminds me a lot of myself (and so people have said) with her streaks of stubborness and independence, but also with an incessent love for life and for those around her.
