Lucy's 2 year photos

From the talented Makaya Larson as always...










Lucy's 2nd Birthday Party

I just realized I forgot to post about Lucy's birthday party! We did a small party this year and were happy to have grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins at the party! I think Lucy's favorite part was going on wagon rides with her cousins!



Here is the link to a few pictures...

It is still hard for me to believe that she is two years old! Right around her birthday she had a few "milestones" - (1) her canine teeth started coming in - and (2) she finally started calling Marcus "Dad." For those of you who don't know at some point she started calling both Marcus and I "Mommy." Occasionally, he gets a "Mommy-Dad" - but most of the time it is just "Dad" now. Personally, I kinda miss hearing her call him "mommy" but he obviously he prefers "Dad."

She has also started putting lots of words together over the last few weeks. She's been saying a few words for a while now, but all the sudden for her to be saying sentences - is just amazing. The other day she pointed to my computer and said "Mommy's 'puter you sit" and once I sat said "ok, thank you Mommy." (immediately followed with "ur welcome")

P.S. We are still working on when to say the "your welcome" part - but we'll get there! :)

Big Sister Book

Lucy has a book titled "The Big Sister Book." For a number of weeks we've been asking her - "Do you want a brother or a sister?" Her response for a long time was "SISTER!" (although she now yells "SISTER BOOK" so we realize she is really just excited about the book) But the point is -

LUCY GETS WHAT LUCY WANTS! It's a girl!

A brother or sister for Lucy...

Tomorrow we hopefully will find out if Lucy is getting a baby brother or baby sister! We debated quite a while, trying to decide if we would find out the gender of this baby, but in the end we decided to find out. It would have been really hard for me, but I think near impossible for Marcus to wait. So, we'll let you know tomorrow! (if he/she cooperates!)

Just for the record, if we had to guess, Marcus and I both are guessing - girl. I say that because my pregnancy has been very similar to Lucy's - but I wouldn't be shocked if I was wrong! Regardless, we just want a healthy baby!

Stay tuned...

Easter

Somehow, I always manage to forget to take pictures at big events/holidays. Lucy wore her Easter hat for a whopping 2 minutes on our way into church (my old hat from when I was a kid) - but after church she refused to put it on. Then we went to brunch and thankfully I remembered a few, but she was tired and ready for a nap when we left, so that's all I got. I must remember to get a family picture on her birthday! (t-2days) :)

Also, I can't forget to tell you how much Lucy LOVES egg hunts. She doesn't even care if there is anything inside (although she does love chocolate). We have even been doing them inside the house this week, since we can't get outside with all this rain. It is her new favorite game! It's hard to even hide them before she starts running around picking them up!

As you can see, Lucy didn't like the Easter Bunny anymore than she did last year. :)

We are looking forward to her birthday party this weekend! How is she 2 years old already?

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!
