all you need is love... and a sucker..

Coil stopped by today to wish Lucy a Happy Valentine's Day! After exchanging little love notes, they enjoyed some valentine suckers. Lucy was more interested in his sweet little face....

After Coil's sucker was gone, he decided to go for Lucy's. Good thing she likes to share...

The reason why Lucy is semi-naked is because she was wearing a white embroidered dress for her special valentine, and I didn't want it to get slobbered on. As you can see by the last picture, there was quite a bit of drool between the two of them. A much needed bath was taken after Coil's departure!

our morning...

We had a busy morning today! Lucy was up and at 'em at 5:25am ready to start her day. She made some breakfast in her kitchen. I politely "ate" what she made and then made both of us a nice breakfast in MY kitchen... 
Since our wake up time was so early and she refused to take a nap, story time at the library was definitely in question. This was the sour little expression on her face most of the morning. I was trying to get a picture of her outfit (Gymboree mega sale..$5!!!), but she just wasn't cooperating. This was the best shot I got. Notice the big girl shoes? They have sparkles!!!
A mini melt down and a couple of tears later, we were ready to get in the car to go the library! We rode with our friends Sarah and Coil! Lucy was telling Coil all about her morning on the way there. It's so cute to hear them babble.
There are no pictures of the actual story time because my camera was on the wrong setting and I was chasing around a 10 month old. That combination does not lead to great documentation. 

After the library, we took the kids to Culver's for lunch. Both of them were well behaved, so we got ice cream afterwards! Lucy had a couple little tastes of it, and she loved it! We're looking forward to next week's story time! Hopefully I'll get some pictures then!

monkey see....monkey do...

Our neighbors Tim and Sarah have a little boy named Coil. He is about 15 months. They spend quite a bit of time together because Sarah and I have become pretty good friends since we moved in. She is a stay at home mom as well, and keeps me company when Jon is away for his trips. 

Last Thursday, Sarah dropped off Coil at our house to play with Lucy while we ran to the library. Jon was in charge of two kids under two and did a great job. (I guess it's time we have another...;) While they were playing, Lucy picked up on one of Coil's funny faces. She thinks it is positively hilarious to scrunch up her little nose and breathe really fast. HA! She sounds like a little piggie or something! I've been trying to get a picture of this for the past week.. and finally had success today. Check out those two pearly whites!
