At her two year dr. appointment, she clocked in at 27 lbs, 36" tall, -- a perfect 50th percentile and following her growth curve. I always worry she's not eating enough, getting all her nutrients, but she is growing and thriving.

likes: chicken, fruit snacks, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, music, Italian ice with Daddy, talking, wrestling/tickling, storytime, CeeCee car, her beek (blanket), Elmo, books, playing with bops (buttons and light switches), Orange Juliuses from Dairy Queen, baby dolls
hates: the doctor's office, not getting what she wants, being told to wait, other kids playing with her toys or toys she thinks are hers, being cooperative, getting out of the bath, getting her teeth brushed, daycare dropoff, sharing

A few days after her first birthday, she successfully peed on the potty! She has sat on the potty a few times but this was the first time she did anything on it. I made a huge deal out of it, but she was kind of whatever about it. She's attempted a few times since, but just sits there and plays. I don't want to force it too much, so I've been following her cues. It's promising she's shown an interest at least. I may step up efforts over the next few months and see what happens.

I say it every month, but this girl continues to blow my mind with her beauty, intelligence, humor, and personality. I honestly look forward to every day with her -- sometimes my fuse is very short, but I still wouldn't change it.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucy!

I have a two year old!! I've been prepping myself the last few months, mentally thinking of her as 2 so that the impact wouldn't be as rough. It helped!

I'm looking forward to the "terrible twos" as odd as that sounds. She is maturing so much in such a short spam of time that by the time she is hitting her third birthday, she'll be a whole other kid.

We celebrated her second birthday at the community room at our mall. The theme was picked out months ago -- Minnie Mouse! For over a year, her biggest TV crush has been Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so even though I have a distaste for most character things, I knew she would have picked it if she could tell me. From the second she ran in the door, I knew she loved being the birthday girl -- part of that probably had to do her tulle skirt. She was literally bouncing off the walls and oohing over her Minnie cake. SO worth it!

Her favorite gift was Rody, a durable bouncing horse, from her honorary grandparents. At the end of the party, she sat on her cake table and helped herself to a cupcake.
