Happy 2 1/2 Birthday Lucy!!!

Today, Lucy is officially 2 1/2 years old. I can't believe another 6 month span has flown by since her birthday this past summer. I also can't believe that this little girl has only been in our life for 2.5 years, yet it's hard to remember life without her existing. I remember very well her 1st Christmas when she was 6 months old and how cute and happy she was. She sat in her saucer while we openend gifts and was sooo dang adorable. Then, last year, at 18 months, liking all the fun and activity around her, but still not getting what was really going on. I think this will be our most fun Christmas yet - with her love for Santa, Jesus, Nativities, Christmas songs, the Christmas tree and decorations. She really seems to "get it" this year, which makes it so fun!!
I could write a post about my terrible morning at the dermatologist yesterday, or the fact that Tommy cried from 3-4 a.m. for no reason last night, or that we are gearing up for full-on potty training this weekend, or that Tommy is now babbling "da da da..." and it is soooo cute. Instead, I'll leave you with a little comment from da Luce last night. I made her macaroni and cheese and spinach (yes, she eats it!) and was feeding Tommy his food while she ate in her booster seat. She looked at me and out of the blue said most sincerely,
"Thanks for making this for me, Mom."
I almost cried. She is the greatest. Happy 1/2 birthday little girl!!
