Random Shots

My sister just began knitting last fall and for her first project she made a scarf for Lucy. It is so cute and she looks quite stylish in it. I was so honored that Lucy reaped the benefit of Kristin's new craft. 

So the other day Don decided to move the couch to vacuum underneath and here is what we discovered. How can we not have noticed that 11 different toys were trapped under there? Clearly we don't vacuum under the couch enough. 

Lucy loves hanging out with Laurie and Craig. They were one of Lucy Rae's first visitors after she was born. I think she can tell how much they love her because she acts extra cutesy when they are around. She pulls out all the stops! 

Valentine's Day

Lucy had a fun Valentine's Day last weekend. She loved playing with a balloon we got her and a tiny little pink Valentine's bear aka "Pinky." The bear has been her constant companion ever since. Don't you just love that a $2.50 present makes kids happy as can be? Don dressed her in a cute little pink and brown outfit for the day. We also gave her a cupcake, which is a major treat for her (or so we thought). She has only ever had cake on her birthday so I thought for sure she would be excited by this sugary delight. As you can see from the picture below she was less than thrilled. She actually cried for 20 minutes and wouldn't eat any of it. Maybe she didn't like the texture--so much for my attempts at indulging her...


Later we found out what Lucy really thought of her new bear. Not a very nice way to treat a new "friend."
We recently got a membership to the Science Center and last weekend we made a trip over there. Lucy has such a blast exploring and Don LOVES the fact that he is exposing Lucy to "science" at such a young age. She loves the water table and refers to it as the "wallet."

Anytime there are balls around she finds a way to roll them, lay on them, bounce them or throw them.

Two of a Kind

I had just had to do a post on Lucy's favorite playmate, Maria. Every time we pass Maria's street (they live one street over) Lucy says, "Mia" "Mia." She is totally obsessed with her buddy. And lately she has been saying "Katie" (Maria's mom) a lot. We do a babysitting exchange with Maria's parents about once a month which is great because it let's us get some couple time and the girl's get some good playtime in. I am sure you have seen Maria on our blog before, but here are some more shots of the girls hanging out.

Aren't they adorable in their matching pajamas?

Lucy is really into holding her "friends." We refer to her blankie, bunny, and baby as her "friends." And the funny thing is that she has to hold all three of them at once. She never wants to leave any of them out. Thank goodness she doesn't have 6 "friends" or she wouldn't be able to carry them all.

Boo-Boos
