Lulu went to her first mommy & me pilates class.  She enjoyed it a lot.  She especially liked watching mommy do core work and tried to copy the moves by lifting her legs while mommy was doing the same thing.  Lulu’s abs are much stronger than they look.  Lulu also liked being mommy’s 11 lb. weight during the leg work; it was lots of fun to be lifted up and down with the other babies.  Phew, what a workout!

Lulu has had a lot of fun with her friends over the past few weeks.  Lulu loves her carseat and is always ready for a road (or air) trip.   In fact, her carseat is one of her favorite spots.  In the past few weeks, Lulu visited with her friends Maddie, Dylan and Andrew and had a great time.  Lulu loves hanging out with her friends.

Lulu had her first Easter today and the Easter Bunny and her auntie and grandmas were very generous.  She enjoyed looking at her new toys, especially the “Gloworm.”  There is something about a toy that lights up and plays soft music that she cannot resist.  Thankfully, the Gloworm is not as obnoxious as some of the other “musical” toys that she enjoys.  

Happy Easter!

 Lulu was born December 30, 2009 at 2:30 p.m.  She was 7 pounds 9.4 ounces and 21.5 inches long.  She arrived home on New Year’s Day 2010.  

 The first couple nights were a little rough, but Lulu quickly adapted to her new surroundings.  In those first weeks at home, she especially liked staring at the light in her room while laying in her crib or on her changing table.  She also enjoyed going on walks with mom and dad and meeting all of her grandparents.  

   As the weeks have progressed, Lulu has become more and more inquisitive.  She now likes spending time under her activity “gym,” looking at her dinosaur art cards, and having mom and dad read books to her.  “Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb” is currently her favorite book, followed closely by “Go Dogs Go” and “The Cat in The Hat.” 

Lulu has proven that she likes adventure.  She visited Monterey and Carmel just three weeks after she arrived, and Lulu took her first plane ride on March 18th when mom and dad took her to Tempe, Arizona to visit dad’s old roommate and his family.  She seemed to enjoy the trip and we have high hopes that she will be quite the traveler.  Her next trip already planned for Memorial Day weekend.

March 24, 2010 was a very exciting day.  Lulu rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time.  Luckily, I was there to capture the whole thing on video.  Follow the link to watch the video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JftmB5wxvE
