Lucy turns 2!

Last month, on July 25th, our little Lucy turned two! I can hardly believe that its been two years, it really seems like only yesterday that we were headed to the hospital to meet this little cutie:

The last two years have definitely been an adventure. I had no idea that a 2nd child would really change our lives so much. I also had no idea that Lucy's personality would be so different from Maggie's. Maggie is so laid back and obedient, while Lucy is so sweet but oh so stubborn (of course she gets it honestly :).

Lucy is overall a happy toddler, just stubborn (did I mention that?). She is a very good eater, is pretty much potty trained (except at night), is starting to sing songs and put together sentences. She now weighs a whopping 22.4lbs! She gets very excited about the smallest things and is absolutely so funny!

Lucy loves Minnie Mouse so of course we threw her a Minnie Mouse party. I had a really hard time finding anything other than hot pink/zebra themes, but after searching and searching, I finally found what I wanted on Etsy. Since we were expecting around 50 people, we went simple on the food. Hot dogs, chips, dip, fruit. I like to make the girls birthday cake myself. It's a small tradition that I want the girls to remember, so after searching and searching, I found this cake on pinterest. I wanted to do something different for goodie bags, so I decided to make all the little girls these cute little Minnie Mouse clips made out of rosettes-they were a big hit!!
