Lucy lately

The girl has been having a lot of fun lately...she's been to the zoo twice more since my last post - once with Fawn and Cooper (who she hung out with for half days while Daddy taught summer school) and once with me.  We've blown up the pool and having being spending a lot of time in the backyard.  Oh, and Lucy had another first:

Yep, she went to her very first Red's game!  We kept telling her we were going to a baseball game but I am pretty sure she was still picturing Daddy's softball game so she was a bit overwhelmed - in a good way - when we got there.  Once she got dressed she kept saying, "Me a baseball girl" especially after I pointed out that the buttons on her dress looked like baseballs!

When we got there, we climbed (and climbed and climbed) up to our seats.  She took in the sights and got in and out of her seat repeatedly until her excitement could no longer be contained in our seats.  She lasted about an inning.  So down we went...we checked out the Fan Zone where she climbed on the playground for a bit and then played on the little field and basically just ran all around the place.

Uncle Jason said, "She's even cute as a Gapper" when I text him this pic

And what Red's game would be complete - especially for a kid! - without a helmet sundae?!  She got the helmet sundae and Dave and I got ice cream cones.  As she was scooping her treat out by the spoonful, she intently watched us eat ours - and then decided that she didn't need a spoon, either...

Before the game, she was singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame!" at the top of her lungs...we made it to the 7th inning stretch (but not much beyond that) but she didn't sing along to one of her favorite songs...

We went to my granny and grandpa's house on Father's Day (and Lucy's daddy met up with us after he played golf with his daddy) and due to vacations and other commitments, it was a pretty small crowd.  Lucy and Sam were the only kids there!  They played pretty well together and had a good time:

She still primarily calls herself "me" but has started using "I" lately.  If I asked her a question that she can't answer - "I not know."  So her grammar still isn't perfect!  But it's improving!

I love the way she speaks!  Some of my favorites are:

Lollipop = wah-wah pop-pop

Water = ah-way

You're welcome = you're well-pum

Gummy bears = dummy bez

Crazy = kay-zee

Wacky = wah-tee

GranJan = JanJan

Oopsie = oopies (though she can say this one correctly now, we still try to encourage her original pronunciation because it was so dang cute!)

Lucy cracks me up - if I call her Lucy Meyers or Lucy Claire Meyers she says, "No!  Me Lucy girl!"  We've called her that so much, she thinks her full name is simply Lucy girl!

Lately she has reminded us again and again that she's a big girl and that she's growing up!  She loves to point out that she's a big girl!

She needed my sunglasses...even though we had hers with us...

We walked up to Ejay's one night to get her haircut...
she showed zero emotion during the haircut but was all smiles on the way home



This kid loves sandwiches! 
The first time we went to Subway, I started to peel away some of the bread
and she almost lost her mind...oopies...I should have known - she loves bread!!



She also needed this umbrella...
