Super Lucy

We went to a cute little play cafe called the Firefly Cafe with some neighbors one day and it was totally up Lucy's ally.  It had all sorts of slides, bikes, toys, a little bounce house, a reading and play corner, and a bunch of other stuff too.  She loved the capes they had there and ran around like crazy the whole time wearing one.  It makes me so happy seeing her so happy doing things!

Zoo

We decided to get a zoo pass this year and I am SO glad we did.  The Columbus zoo is awesome and I go ALL the time with the girls.  Even though it is about a half hour away, we often go when it opens in the morning, spend an hour or two there and then go home by the time the crowds and heat come.  This one particular day, the animals were all very active and the crowds were slim to none.  Perfect.

Pretty sure this bear pacing back and forth following Lucy wanted to eat her for breakfast.

 Every time we go to the zoo now, Lucy insists on getting her picture taken with the gorilla.  She runs over, sits on his hand and says "mom! picture!"

 This monkey guy loved Lucy and sat and played with her through the window for a long time.  Lucy loved it.  He would be sitting down and then just jump up and hit the glass and Lucy would crack up!

 She even tried to kiss him through the glass (yuck).

Dad's socks are way better

I love these pictures because they totally reflect Lucy's crazy and super goofy personality.  She sometimes loves to "help" me fold the laundry, but this is usually what ends up happening.

Baba addiction

Lucy is addicted to her "baba" a.k.a. her pacifier.  We have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it... cutting it (in these pictures), replacing it with other things, plenty of awesome bribes, quitting cold turkey (she screamed bloody murder for who knows how long and then hyperventilated for like the next hour after I finally gave it back to her).  She only has it in her crib when its time to go to sleep, but still.  I hope she doesn't still have it when she goes off to college, but at this rate I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't let the smiles in these pictures fool you.  It didn't last past one minute in bed without it!

Another lazy Sunday afternoon

Oh-Yo

We love Oh-Yo, the frozen yogurt place right around the corner from our house.  Lucy is happy with her bowl as long as it had gummy worms in it. :)

Overtired

Sometimes they just get a little too tired and we all know how that ends up... meltdowns and falling asleep at random places.
