Lucy the flower girl

This weekend we attended Marcus's cousin Neil's wedding. Marcus was an usher and Lucy was the flower girl. Thankfully, Marcus was able to usher her down the aisle as she decided she didn't want to go on her own. In 20+ years, it won't be as easy for him! It was a great wedding and we had such a great time!

Another "little" Rapp

Little Lucy Mae isn't the only "little Rapp" on this blog anymore! That's right - another little Rapp is on the way - due October 1st! We are so excited and can't wait to meet him/her. Lucy is so in love with babies right now - so we are hoping it continues! She loves saying "oh no, baby ok?" every time she hears a baby cry and also loves to show us where "her" baby is by lifting up her shirt and exclaiming "baby in dere." As long as we can get the last part straightened out before October we'll be set!

Mistakes happen

Mistakes of the day...

1. Bathing her this morning
2. Putting semi good clothes on her
3. Leaving the room for a few minutes
4. Leaving a blue marker in my desk in a closed container

I swear she can find anything! Thank goodness it's washable and didn't get on anything else! :)

End of winter (hopefully)

So, it's been a month since my last update, and I honestly can say I don't know where it went! We went to Galena for a night with some friends, had the snowcalypse around here and have basically just been enjoying our sweet little girl.

She officially has changed her favorite word from "no" to "okay" - now if she just meant it! :) Her vocabulary is really expanding and has started putting two words together - for example "hi mommy," "bye-bye bear," "(where) Daddy go?", "oh uh, I okay" (after a few tumbles - it's so fun to see it all coming together.

One happy girl...




Playing in the snow with Daddy!

A few weeks late on these - but here are a few photos from Lucy's first "real" play in the snow! She loved eating the snow - of course! :)

Officially out of the crib

As most of you know, Lucy is a climber. She can pretty much scale anything she wants. Which is why keeping her in her crib was becoming quite the task. She goes to sleep GREAT - but when she wakes up early (usually earlier than her parents would like - and earlier than she should) she wants out - RIGHT THEN! So we would have to jump up the moment she woke up and run into her room - before she would fall out. We usually caught her half way out - riding the side rail like a horse. What a stinker!

So, last week Saturday (January 8th) we decided to try out the toddler bed. I have to admit it was a little sad, as it made me realize how big she is - I mean the potty and a big girl bed in the same month!

She of course LOVED getting in and out of her bed during the day, so we were quite nervous about how this was going to work out. Thankfully, it has gone pretty well. She goes to sleep with no complaining, and stays in it through the night. However, the first few days she woke up a little earlier than usual (and when this girl wants to wake up she wants out of her room RIGHT THEN!). She is slowly getting used to it - and now sleeps till almost 7 (which is as good as it gets!).

The last few days she has woken up a little early (6:30ish), gotten out of her bed and then laid next to the door. Sometimes she goes to sleep for a little longer and sometimes she just cuddles with all her bears and dolls. We made the mistake of going and getting her the first day, but she actually wasn't really ready to get up so we decided that if she isn't crying she's okay. Marcus thinks we should get a little padded dog bed to put in the corner so she isn't on the floor but obviously she doesn't mind. I'm guessing all her stuffed animals must be pretty comfy!
