Lucy's 2nd Birthday

Still trying to catch up with my Blogs.  Lucy celebrated her 2nd birthday on May 29, 2012.  Hard to believe two short years ago, she entered the world 16 weeks early at only 1 pound 9 ounces.  Here is her very first picture:

Fast forward two years and you'd never have known she was a preemie just by looking at her.

Sure, she's still a little small for her age.  And sure, she's not talking yet.  But I have every confidence she is going to catch up.  She's just going to do it on her own time.

Mimi got her a doll for her birthday.

The typical cookout - hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, baked beans, etc.

Do you sense a strawberry theme??

These are homemade strawberry cupcakes with a strawberry merangue-type of frosting, courtesy Sandra Lee.  Found the recipe here.  Except I didn't really follow the recipe that well.  I used strawberry cake mix instead of white.  And I didn't add the oil or the corn syrup.  So they were semi-healthy.  :)

YUM!

Messy girl.

Then we headed outside for some sprinkler action!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Lucy!! 

 I am so glad you rocked my world two years ago.  My life was not complete without you in it!!
