1 year old!

I know it was almost 4 weeks ago, but I'm happy to finally be posting about Lucy's First Birthday! (I've been waiting until I could get the video uploaded, and I finally got around to it today. Yay!) I wanted to make a cake, but we didn't need to eat a whole cake ourselves, so we invited some friends to come over and have cake and ice cream with us while we sang Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.



























































Lucy picked at the frosting and cake a little bit, but she didn't really eat any of it. I can't believe she's already a year old! Crazy! She was taking a few steps while we were in Washington for Christmas, and when we came home, she continued to take more and more steps, until a few days before her birthday when she was toddling about like a pro. At her 12-month check-up, the doctor found some more teeth that were coming in. She loves to play with her toys, putting them in buckets and dumping them out again. She especially loves to play with whatever Josh is playing with, much to his great dismay. Heaven forbid she touch any of his trains! We switched her to whole milk, and she LOVES it! So do we. NO MORE BUYING FORMULA!! She also loves to eat (when she's not sick like she has been the past few weeks) and will usually eat anything that we are eating.

Here's a video of our Baby Girl on her birthday for the grandparents, and anyone else who wants to sit through it.



We love her so much and are so glad that she is a part of our family! Happy Birthday to our little Lucy!
