Happy Birthday Lucy Vy!!!

Thanks for the present mom. I think I'll take it from here.
What exactly am I supposed to do with this cake?
Taking a walk with her babies


Here are a few birthday pictures of Lucy. She is officially two in many ways. First, she threw a whopper of a tantrum the afternoon of her birthday-- on the floor kicking her legs, screaming fit! Believe it or not, I love it. I love that she has strong opinions and will let us know. Now, that doesn't mean that the fit works, just that I like that she can do it :)
Secondly, she recently got her "shmos"-- the braces for her ankles and feet and is becoming more stable and mobile. The PTs seem to think that with this extra stability that she will be off and running in no time. Hummm, running? I'd really settle for walking, strolling, meandering, moseying.... She is also in a gymnastics class for kids with motor delay. The PTs said to warn us, "Now, some kids take some time to warm up, may cry, etc." Not Lucy! She loved it! Jumping on the trampoline with mom, "climbing" on stuff, doing rolls, riding on the parachute, crawling through tunnels... This is her thing, no doubt. Hopefully it will lead her to a new comfort level where she feels comfortable enough to walk independently.
We love you Lucy!
