Our baby Lucy turned into toddler Lucy on Tuesday.

Leading up to her birthday, Lucy loudly sang, “Happy Birthday to yoouuuuu” around the house and told us she wanted cake for her birthday. Nothing else. Just cake.

Harry surprised her with a banana birthday cake coated with buttercream frosting from Icing on the Cake Bakery. (Happy Birthday to all of us). This lucky girl had two more cakes delivered on her birthday — a chocolate cake sent in the mail from Oma and Papa in Michigan, and a homemade confetti cake with lots of sprinkles made and decorated by her four year old friend Macy.
Somehow we’ve managed to eat all of those cakes during the past week. Yikes.A forkful of frosting above.

Lucy is full of personality at age two. She can be so sweet and cuddly…

…and she can be loud and crazy. She is a girl who knows what she wants. She is bold and quick. Full of energy. Afraid of dogs and wind that makes the house creak. She likes to brush her teeth, loves singing “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas, and she loves to dance. At bedtime she likes to snuggle up with her Dad and read Cinderella. After story time she stalls by asking for more songs saying, “Sunshine?” “ABC’s?” “Rock-a-baby?”

And she’s a great big sister to Juliet. “Shhh. Be quiet. Ju-et’s seeeeeping!” she tells me.

Baby Juliet smiled and cooed while we ate cake together. Baby Jules has just begun to giggle at Lucy’s silliness.  She’s such a good little baby.After cake it was time to break out Lucy’s other present. A $5.00 Slip ‘n Slide. I asked Harry to take a picture of Lucy’s reaction as I demonstrated how to use it.She loved it.Running back to slide again… 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucy girl. We love you!

Two babies under two. I figured it’s time for a little update. Before the girls go off to college. So, here’s a monthly recap!

My mom came out for another visit to spoil her grandbabies in February. A trio of beautiful blue eyed girls above.

March: Auntie Annie came out during her Spring Break to meet her newest niece. She taught Lucy everything she needs to know about cell phones. Joking aside, the visits from my mom and sister were such a blessing to us.

April: My friend Ashleigh made the girls the most adorable matching dresses. I wanted pictures of them so I bribed Lucy with candy, and this is what I got in return…

Reminds me of the little monkeys covering their mouths with the “Speak no Evil” sign. Below: Lucy modeling her new dress, candy in hand.

May: We celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday. Harry delivered breakfast in bed to me–bacon and pancakes–served on Lucy’s high chair tray. Lucy ran down the hallway after him shouting, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Later that day, we played in the backyard.

Lucy eating something messy, I can’t remember what it was.

…and Jules sitting up by herself for the first time! Tada!

Look at these little piggies!

She managed to stay sitting up while chewing on them…Below: Playing with the girls after lunch this week.Lucy busy texting. Baby Jules is just over 5 months and Lucy will be TWO on Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

This little snoozer has stolen our hearts. I tried for the curled up sleepy newborn shots, but didn’t have much luck. I can easily capture these for other newborns, but when I tried with Juliet (and Lucy) it wasn’t happening. I decided what mattered most was getting pictures of my babies this small, not their poses.
Definitely no curling up here. As I was getting ready to move her, she stretched her little legs and showed off the two small marks on the bottom of her feet left behind from her blood work.A sweet pose above and a cute little yawn below…Her skin is as smooth as freshly polished stones. And she has that lovely baby scent–I can’t stop sniffing her.
