Happy 2nd Birthday Lulu




Today was Lulu's 2nd birthday. We are having their official birthday party while we are in Cleveland with friends and family but we did have our neighbors over for pizza and cake tonight. Lulu had a great day with gifts, cards and well wishes from many loved ones. And she blessed us with a full night sleep and a wake-up time of 7am. We went to the Y in the morning and then had a playdate for lunch and a playdate after naps so hopefully she will have a great night tonight.

Some recent funny stories about Lulu.....She is going through a phase right now that the past week she has been waking up at 3:30am exactly and singing and entertaining the house! I mean on the top of her lungs...."DADDY I NEED CHOCOLATE MILK, MICKEY MOUSE, AND I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE, NOOOOWWWW!" Lulu is the girl that goes to sleep at 8 sleeps till 7 never a peep takes a 3 hour nap so we were a little worried about this new habit sticking. It takes her a good 2 hours to calm down in the middle of the night and go back to sleep. So things are pretty exhausting around here.

She has also been trying to master the scooter. Simon is upset because they "are not safe for kids" but it is not like she really gets going very fast. I hope that I am able to upload the video I took






Some wonderful things about Lulu.

1. She loves Elephants and sleeps with a stuffed elephant every night. She also loves to do elephant impressions.

2. Her favorite color is purple.

3. She has been doing great in her music class and sings her scales and wakes us up with songs from class every morning.

4. When asked who she loves her response always is.... "My Gammy, My favorite" or "My Gammy my best friend".

5. She loves her daddy so much that she is moved to tears most days when he comes home through the door.

6. Loves play-doh.
7. She knows alot of colors
8. She knows alot of her letters and loves to sing the ABC song.

9. She successfully kicked the pacifier habit. It was touch and go. You have never seen a plastic addiction like that.

10. She worships her big sister

11. She gives the best hugs.

12. She loves, loves, loves, to cuddle
13. She has a smile that can melt your heart.


Happy Birthday Lulu. We love you.
