I stashed my childhood Pooh bear in her toy box, which she's been digging into for the last couple of days... and out came Winni-the-Pooh, big smiles, hugs and kisses. Awe, too cute!
An active little boy ! Now just on to the name picking!
*The Lumberjack, is taking down dead trees in the back yard and making a new place for his hammock. This week the other tree just past it was felled.
Lulu again refusing to eat in her high chair rushed straight over to the table for her dinner.
How Lulu gets on a chair.
And then there is daily puzzle time, she brings them to the table after her meal every day (breakfast, dinner) and kicks me out of my chair so she can play there. Below is a video of her with her puzzles and a whole lot of talking going on!
Lulu is really loving to read books now, guess she realized that her dad and I read there a lot and figured she should too. Around bedtime we go play in her room where there are books, and sno-globes... she picks out about 2 books at a time and brings them too me, sits between my legs and lets me read her a little bit (1-2 words per page unless they are her favorite books). Yesterday she was bringing me books, and she said, "OH" leaped off the floor and ran to the book shelf where she'd just seen her First 100 Words book. That and the Cat and the Dog books are almost a guaranteed read through... because she has to kiss all the animals, including the fish, frog, guinea pig, and goat.
This is the latest in attempts to put diapers on herself. She got into the diaper backpack and took out the diaper and tries many times to put it in the right spot... when she's not doing that she sometimes puts it down on the floor and lays on it like a pillow. Of course the cloth diapers have more cushion! She's really picked up (not from me) playing with dolls at day care, where there are baby dolls and blankets and tiny carriers. She puts the baby in the carrier and covers her with a blanket... it's super cute until we have to leave the baby at Day Care where not even her Bear-Bear makes her stop the crying (but M&M's do- bad Mommy!)
While passing a garage sale this weekend I saw this chair/swing for 50 cents. The mom I bought it from said corroded batteries were inside and so it doesn't consistently work. I figured I would try to fix it, no loss for that cheap. As soon as I bought it in the door though it's been Lulu's newest favorite toy. She stands and swings, she sits and swings, she puts all her animals in it, and sometimes her animals and her balls. She also puts her animals in the swing and covers them up with her blanket. It's so cute.
Nail Room
My latest investment everything in the room except the bookshelf so now that we hired a mgr, I do manicures and pedicures.
The Girl Scouts register this week, and I am suppose to be helping out... I think Friday. I did get all our Day Camp "Cup with Love Project" cups glazed and fired this weekend. I always forget how cute everything looks when it's fired and shiny.
I am so close to finishing our book club book from forever ago, then I want to read one last old book before I move onto the October PR book Remedies. The Menahga BC is going to see the Eat, Pray, Love movie and have dinner this week I think? I hope so since I didn't enjoy that read enough to get past the first 1/4 of the book. It'll be great to see everyone after the long summer break.
Lastly, I decided that when I don't have clients on Wednesday afternoons I am going back to my Knitting Support Group. And Mom, the first thing I am finishing is that Tea Cozy for your Russian Tea Pot. Then it's back to the sweater that I started before Lulu was born!
The End
A little bopping around from Lulu. She's got on a cute outfit... and her diaper hangs out the back, so many clothes don't work for cloth diapers!

The weeks pass by so quickly that some days it seems I only get to spend 3-5 hours with my little girl. She's growing so fast. Every day that passes she gets more and more independant. She doesn't want help doing anything, these days. She started eating with spoons and forks a few weeks ago, and really being able to shovel the food into her mouth. Of course she's been really picky about food too, so it's been rough. I hate that she loves mac-n-cheese so much but it's my back up food. I just found out that she likes chicken pot pie, not so much the crust but the veggies and filling so maybe I will learn to make some homemade pot pies. She started drinking out of a big girl cup last week and there's no turning back. She'll take a sippy at day care though... oh and she'll only take a bottle at night! The latest problem besides wanting to be held only while I am standing up is that she no longer lets me brush her teeth.
Well off to hang with my Lulu, I think she's running a mild temperture. This would be her first.

One More Time
It's been a week of tantrums and boundary pushing for Little Lulu, and a big week of new rules and boundary setting for Mommy. 
I stack boxes for her and tell her what's inside them all the time, but I had never seen her stack them on her own! Gez, she's growing by leaps and bounds. Stacking, boxes, feeding herself with utencils (right handed), and putting shapes into those shape boxes.
It doesn't matter what he's doing she gets to any window to watch him, and she chatters to him. Although she's calling him Momma too sometimes.
This is her current favorite stuffed animal, but she likes anything soft and squishy.
