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.
