Sorry this post has been so long in coming. I rarely have the time to sit down and write a lot or post pictures. In fact, I may be interrupted writing this by Ian waking up from his nap any time now. We'll see.
Lucy had her two year old well visit and I'm pretty sure she was 24 lbs., 8 oz. The paperwork that had the exact numbers written down is in Ian's room. LOL. So we'll go from memory. She's doing great.
Here's what a typical day in the life of two year old Lucy is like:
7:30am. Wake up from her big girl bed. Knock/bang on door until I come get her, usually asking her to be quiet since Ian is still asleep. She usually immediately asks for "ahm-ee" (oatmeal), which we go to the kitchen to start.
7:45am. She likes to help me stir the oatmeal and then she sits at the big table in her booster seat and watches Elmo's World while eating her oatmeal.
8:15am - 12:30pm. We play, we run errands, we almost always go to the park, etc. At the park she can basically do everything by herself, including climbing up and down stairs and going down the slide on her tummy. She's still a little nervous to go down on her bottom due to a previous tumble she took down a slide.
12:30/1:00pm. We eat lunch usually around this time. She loves to eat almost anything I feed her. This is either leftovers from dinner the night before, pasta, sandwiches, fruit, hot dogs, or whatever strikes our fancy.
3:00pm. These days she's been going down for her nap around 3 or so and sleeping for about an hour and a half.
5:30pm. Daddy comes home and we eat dinner and play until...
7:30pm. Bathtime! Daddy usually takes care of this since Mommy is feeding Ian.
8:00/8:30pm. Bedtime! Mommy likes to do this part unless Ian is being especially fussy. We read several books, then she lays down and I rub her back and her hair and pray for her and sing songs. Her favorite songs are "God is So Good", "Jesus Loves Me", "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider", and "Patty-Cake, Patty-Cake."
Lucy has a huge vocabulary, but a lot of it is probably only intelligible to Wesley and I and even then sometimes just in context (like her words for water, raisin, and videos sound very similar so we have to look for other clues...haha). But these days I am noticing huge leaps in her abilities, like recognizing letters and words and colors and concepts without prompting from me. You can see those little neurons firing and making connections left and right! We're so proud of her.
Here are some pictures from her birthday party, taken by her Gigi since she is a good photographer and I am a lazy picture-taker. haha.
These are a little out of order, sorry!

This girl loves cupcakes, especially the icing!
Sitting at her table which was a present from her Gigi and Papa, using the new drawing toy we bought her.
