Birthday Girl

On December 7th, Miss Lucy turned 1! 

Here's some highlights from her big day 

(actually big week---the celebrations kept coming and coming!).

The Wednesday before Lucy's birthday
we celebrated with Momo and Grandpa. 

They got her an awesome cake! Check it out!

You think that's cool? Look at the INSIDE!

You guys are going to let me eat that!?

Yes, rainbow cake was everywhere!

But it was oh so yummy!
After cake, Lucy had a bath and then it was present time!!

The picture above is of Lucy dancing to music. Lucy got a Touch and Teach Turtle which keeps her occupied for long periods of time--thank you!! :) She also got a kitty cat piano, a fun walker, and a Little People Nativity!

Thank you, Grampa and Momo!!!

On Lucy's real birthday we had a small party with the 3 of us. 

Mommy and Daddy stayed up late the night before
baking a cake for our princess. 

(The tiara was our inspiration. I might look silly, but who cares?) =)

Here's Lucy enjoying her cake! Mmm!!!

Good stuff. After cake, Lucy opened her gift from us. 

What could it be?? 

Just what I've always wanted!!!

A shopping cart with play food! Mom and Dad, you guys are the best!

Lucy then spent 30 minutes taking the play broccoli out of the cart and putting it back in. Who knew that could be so much fun? :) We picked the right gift! 

Now Lucy and Mommy spend lots of time "eating" and "shopping." 

Lucy also got a super cool Disney Princess ride on toy 

from Grandmother and Granddaddy Wilson. 

Pictures to come.....but this provides hours of fun! 

It lights up, plays music--the works!! Thank you!

I can't believe Lucy is ONE! Such a big girl. Still not walking. Her record is 3 steps. :) 

But she's doing lots of talking! 

Here's her vocabulary so far: ma-ma and mom, da-da and dad, bath, hi, bye-bye, nigh-night, eye, more, uh-oh, oh-no, eggs (yes, because Lucy and I eat them frequently for breakfast!), banana, bottle, yum, mmm!, puppy, grampa, momo, TJ (my parent's dog. She wakes up talking about him most mornings.), yeah, no, no no no (haha!), mine, tree. 

There may be a few more I'm not thinking of.
Pretty good for 12 months! 

She will also repeat most things you say. 

Today she said "coffee." :)

Lucy also learned how to blow kisses this week. 

Cutest thing ever. 

It melts my heart.

That what's happening with our 1 year old! Love her to pieces!
