Lucy's half-birthday!

Our little Lucy turned 18-months. She went to nursery for the first time and loved it. When we took her into the nursery, she spotted a ball and made a beeline for it. Once she found the other toys, she forgot that mom and dad were even there. We said goodbye and walked out. No crying, no fussing. After church, we took this photo of her and the picture she colored.

To celebrate, we took Lucy to a soda shop called Squeak. They make sodas in every flavor imaginable! The soda jerk was really nice and gave Lucy a baby ice cream cone for free. When I asked her whether she wanted vanilla or chocolate, she said, "choc-choc." That girl does love chocolate!

She could hardly eat it fast enough!

Once Lucy finished her ice cream cone, she of course wanted to help mommy and daddy eat the cotton candy float that they were sharing. Outside of the soda shop, Lucy played on the hot air balloon ride. She was one happy little girl!
