OH MY GOODNESS!

 

I originally had scheduled Lucy's birthday pictures to be taken before her glasses came but with an extremely chapped lip and a black eye that would not go away I finally got them taken yesterday.  She got her glasses last Wednesday and she has been a good girl wearing them.  These pictures turned out so dang cute.  Here is her photo shoot:

THREE

Lucy turned three!  Where did my baby go? This is a big girl.

A few months ago Lucy decided on having a "check up" party.  She was very cute all day with all her check up equipment and party supplies.

 

She is a pro at opening presents and would open one and go straight to another to rip it open.  Christmas should be lots of fun this year.

What is a check up party without a Doc McStuffins outfit?  

Happy Birthday LUCY BABY!  We love you!!

Older kids

Julia is not feeling well today.  As I was going through my medicine cabinet the thought struck me, that one of the many benefits of having older kids is that when they get sick I can give them cold medicine!  It is wonderful.

My travels to West Africa

The first question I was asked when I brought Lucy in for her check up was if I have traveled to West Africa recently.  Ahhh.....are you kidding me?  No, no I haven't.  I think it is safe to say that we DON'T have Ebola at this time. Whew...

I took Lucy in for her three year old check up.  All of my kids have been almost the exact same weight and height at age three. So funny how that is.  Lucy loves going to the doctors. I mean LOVES it.  She brings her doctor kit and is completely enamored with everything going on.  She even got a flu shot and was pleased.  I wish I could have said the same thing for Natalie when she got her flu shot.  I was having a hard time getting an appointment through my doctors office so I took the other kids to a flu clinic at the school to get a flu shot.  We waited in line for more than a hour. When Natalie received hers she shrieked, "Mommy" at the top of her lungs.  It didn't help that when we stood in line for so long we listened to kids cry and scream about getting poked.  It totally freaked her out.

Here she is going to Julia's Dr.'s appointment this summer.  Loving every minute of it.

Glasses

Mom and Lucy spent the day at the pediatric Ophthalmologist.   Lucy liked the waiting room.  She was such a good girl getting her eyes checked but after about an hour and a half of getting checked out she was done.  When the doctor asked if she could look at his light one more time she told him NO!

 Lucy is far-sighted and is going to be sporting a new look.  Hopefully this will help with her right eye that is crossing and she won't have to wear a patch.  She picked out some purple glasses and we think she is pretty cute.  Her eyes look a little strange with the glasses on because they were still dilated from the eye exam.  Hopefully she will like them when we get them in a few weeks and she will keep them on!
