Lucy looks like she's getting reddish hair in and we still dont know the color of her eyes- green? blue? She is beginning to teeth and poor thing really gets frustrated sometimes. Thank goodness for oragel, but even that's only short-lived. Lexi was the same with teething, it was pretty hard on her too. Lucy also loves grabbing at her feet and will just hang out and hold onto them for awhile. Feet are great toys- They are always there, you never lose them. She also likes to suck her thumb. Its too cute. Lexi was never a thumb sucker. But both of them ditched the pacifier at 3 months. Lucy is beginning to grab at and really get into playing with her toys. And Lexi loves to give them to her, dangle them in front of her, etc. She's taken to posing in pictures with her sister and has the whole "looking cute" thing down to a science. She's 2 afterall. She's had a whole 2 years to perfect it.

This summer it looks like Lexi has turned into a water baby. Last summer? Not so much, only liked the heated pool at her swim class. Now she likes any pool and does not want to get out even when her lips are purple and she's covered in goosebumps. I can't help but think proudly "THAT's my girl!" We've been to a few friends pools this summer so far and I expect we'll have more and more swimming opportunities as the summer goes on. We have a new patio out back, which makes our backyard actually liveable now. Before, it was marshy (guess thats why the town is called White Marsh!) and you couldnt hang out back there too comfortably. Now its a patio with a home made picnic table, built by "Dada" himself. We can frequently be found hanging out back there with the baby pool, a few toddler bikes, a makeshift sandbox, bubbles, balls, a few beers and juice boxes (the juice boxes are for Dada).

Be sure to browse the photo albums on our family photo site. There are many, to say the least. Download any you want to keep. If you've been around us lately, your picture is in there. Between my mom and I, we keep Picasa in business. Since I last wrote, there are a few new albums up (arranged according to how old Lucy is: month by month). A few highlights from these albums: "Lucy @ 1 month", "Lucy @ 2 months", and the start of the "Lucy @ 3 months":

(And just so you know, now Lexi takes some of the pictures too. I have ask to get it back. Some of the photos are actually too comical not to put up in Picasa- weird angles, or half of someone's body, or a foot with a cute flip-flop on it. I've seen more up-the-nose shots and feet shots than I ever wanted and we also have many closeups of my shirt, Robs shirt, the floor, and I've seen cracks in our ceiling that I've never noticed before!)

See what you've missed since I haven't written to update you? Check back often to see the latest pics, I upload them frequently or when I have a minute. (Yea, A minute) If you register with Google, you can get updates automatically sent to your email anytime I upload new pics.

Later this summer, we're planning a trip to Dutch Wonderland, we'll be celebrating our 5 year Wedding anniversary on August 1, and of course, we'll be going to the O.A.R. concert for the 4th year in a row!

I'm so glad to finally update everyone- our friends and family....
