I have lots of updating to do, but this post will focus on our sweet little Lucy Lu turning 1.
We are still about 2 weeks away from her birthday, but I asked my sister, Sarah, if she would snap some fun pictures of Lucy this morning. As for "professional' kids pictures, we do the old-fashioned panel at Calverts for her 3, 6, 9 and 12 months (which of course means no digitals for posting) and then we do a formal portrait at 18 months. But I wanted to have a little shoot to mark her turning 1. Sarah was so sweet to take her sweet baby Rees (a post to come) to Moms and snap some pictures of Lulu.
She is such a fun girl and has been such a good baby. Easy going! Of course, as we're turning the corner to 1, we are seeing a little temper as she screams back at Henry now and can kick her feet when she's mad. Whew! I may be in for it! She has been crawling around since 9 months and is starting to stand up now without holding on. It looks like she'll be eager to walk soon, although no steps have happened just yet. She loves to dance and bop around to music and LOVES to play with and get into stuff with her brother. We are so blessed and love our little girl so much! Enjoy these sweet pictures. Thanks again, Sarah!
Flower suckers were the favors.
Lucy in her birthday dress that Aunt Megan made her. So cute!
NOT happy about the birthday hat...or the bow...or anything on her head really. 
Mommy and Daddy dressed in pink for our little girl!
I made flower pens in pots and tissue pompoms that hung all over the patio. It's been arts and crafts central around here lately. 
Sweet girl
Henry was all over Lucy's smash cake. He LOVED the icing.
I love her face in this one. Her new thing is to pucker her lips and scrunch her nose. Cutie!
Sweet girl. We had such a fun day celebrating our baby girl. We go to the doctor tomorrow so I'll report back with our "stats". I'm sure he'll tell us that she's HUGE...and perfect! (both of which we already know) :) We love you, Lucy-Lu! Happy Birthday!
