Lucy's 2nd Birthday

I don't know how I have a 2 year old already. That saying pops back into my head about how the days are long, but the years are short. I feel like we just brought Lucy home from the hospital!

At 2 years old, she weighs 25 1/2 lbs and is 32 1/2 inches tall.

Favorite foods: Girlfriend loves spaghetti, smoothies (which is how I sneak in the good stuff), grapes, PB & J's...duh, pancakes "cakes", and a girl after my own heart...cookies "cooeys".

Favorite activities: She would pretty much be happy doing anything outside. She has golf, soccer, tee ball, and a tricycle outside and she loves to go on walks. She continues to love to color, as well as play with play-doh.

She definitely lives up to the meaning of her name. She can light up a room! She has recently gone from being pretty shy around people she even knows fairly well, to saying hi to everyone. She says new words every.single.day. It is so amazing how smart kids are!

This age certainly has its challenges, but it really is so fun!!

We kept things pretty simple for her birthday this year. We didn't end up doing a big party like we did last year, but we made sure to do some of her favorite things on her special day! 

We started off with some birthday pancakes, round one of singing happy birthday, and a few small gifts for her. I was pretty excited to see how she would respond this year to all the singing and candles, and turns out, she was pretty into it! :) And she did awesome blowing out the candles!

After naps, we headed up to the trampoline park! Lucy has only been there one previous time, but she LOVED it! So she jumped her little heart out for a couple hours before it was time to head home to open presents and eat cupcakes!

We came home and had spaghetti for dinner, one of her faves! After that, we did cupcakes and sang round two of Happy Birthday! We had vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles that she picked out at the store. Then we opened the big presents. Her "Nenny" got her a doll house which she loved and Ben and I got her a tee ball set for the back yard then used money that our family sent for her to get her a soccer goal and ball for the backyard. She loved everything she got, and I'd say she was one happy camper for her big day! :)

Of course, Daisy got in on some of the fun too ;)

The birthday fun continued into the weekend when we visited one of the local pumpkin festivals. They had rides and games for the kids and a huge pumpkin patch to choose our pumpkins from. Lucy had a really good time, but we couldn't stay too long because it ended up being pretty hot out that day. But we had fun, and picked out a couple pumpkins for the porch.

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet Lucy girl!
