1 year and 23 weeks old and Lulu's first hair cut

We were at Gammie and Bumpa's house for dinner and Lulu and Gammie were having lots of fun with this toy.  Lulu pushes a button and a little mouse pops out Lulu makes the same laugh every time it pops out.

 Last week we went to the doctors for Lulu's 15 month check up a little late it really was a 17 month check up and we found out Lulu hasn't even gained a pound in the last 5 months she weighs just under 18 pounds she did grow 2 inches which makes her 27 inches tall.  We also talked to the doctor about Lulu's hair pulling and we decided to shave her hair so that it wasn't long enough for her to pull any more and then by the time it grew in hopefully she would have forgotten about pulling her hair when she is sad or frustrated.  We thought this would be the best time to do it since she doesn't have much hair yet any ways.  

Here is a before picture!

 Before

Before

 And After

 After

Lulu did a great job sitting on Cody's lap while he cut her hair, she got a little sad when she saw her hair on the floor but that was it.  I don't think it looks much different then before.  

 Lulu got t new baby from her cousin Asher, Aunt Jess, and Uncle Ryan and she has had so much fun with her.  The night she got the baby she had to sleep with her.  

 Cody has been doing lots of pull ups lately and Lulu loves to do what her daddy does so she loves to do pull ups when she gets the chance.  She is pretty strong she can hang there all by herself.

 Another week older

1 Year and 22 Weeks Old

Last Sunday Cody, Lulu, and I walked over to Gammie and Bumpas house for Dinner it was cold outside so we had to bundle Lulu up!

Lulu likes to play with her hair and often it ends up like this.

Lulu found these lotions in the bathroom and she loves to play with them.  

 She loves them so much she likes to cuddle with them.

 Lulu also has discovered the buttons on the TV and whenever she has a chance she sneaks over to push as many as she can.

 Friday night we got together at Granny and Gramps for Granny's birthday and these to little ones got to play with each other.  Dylan and Lulu!

 Today was such a nice day so we went to the park and Lulu had so much fun on the swings

 She had fun going down the slide!

 We went to Ikea with Brian, Lindsay, Dylan, and Lance Lulu had lots of fun walking around and checking out all the fun stuff.  We laid her in this bed and she didn't want to get out she liked it so much.

 After Ikea we went and got some frozen yogurt and Lulu wanted to ride on this wooden horse she liked it so much she acted like a monkey.

Coloring, Hiking, Scootering, and Flying!

We spent most of the week in St. George in the nice weather with Cody's family, here Lulu is coloring at a restaurant. She enjoys coloring but she thinks it is fun to coloring on people's arms and hands so if you are sitting next to Lulu while she is drawing or coloring watch out you may end up being her paper.  

 We went on a hike, it was a really neat hike I don't really like to hike that much but I loved this hike it was lots of fun.  Here all of us are except for Josh who is taking the wonderful picture.  We are at the top of our hike. 

The three of us at the top, Lulu fell to sleep while on the hike, she was mad at us because she wanted to walk and we wouldn't let her because then we would have never finished the hike so she cried herself to sleep.  Poor girl she just wanted to hike like the rest of us. 

Once Lulu woke up from her short nap we let her walk the rest of the way back to the car and then we rested.  Look how she is resting her hands on her cute little knees. 

 Sam and Sadie brought their scooters to St. George with them and Lulu wanted to give it a try.

At first she is doing a good job.

 Then she slipped and fell off but Cody caught her but she still got a little scared.

 She was done trying the scooter!

 Lulu has been doing this trick with her fingers lately and today we were able to catch her doing it.  She has such little fingers it is so cute to see her cross them.  She does it a lot.

 While we were in Oregon we started tying a blanket around Lulu's like a cape and she thought that was so neat, she would have us do it all the time.  Today when we were at home I saw the little cape my sister Angie had made all the cousins for Christmas last year.  So I put it on Lulu and she took off running it was so cute. We then showed her to stick her hands out in front of her, make flying noises and run around the room. She started to do it and it was the cutest thing ever.  I love how she picks things up so fast. she is growing up so fast.  

1 year and 20 weeks old and A New Year!

Last week we said good bye to my brother John as he headed back home to Ohio.  Here John has "a Lulu in a box"

John and us all left on the same day John to Ohio and us back to Utah.  So before we left we headed up to my grandmas house to say good bye.

 Cody, Lulu and I got back to Provo for a day before we headed on to St. George to meet up with Cody's family to bring in the new year.  Lulu loves to hang out with her cousins Sadie and Sam, she loves to hold their fingers while walking with them. 

 Lulu is 1 Year and 20 Weeks Old today and we are in St. George I didn't have any tape to hang the sign on the wall so I had Sadie hold it up for me.  Thanks Sadie for helping us out. 

 Some of Lulu's tricks that she is doing, she knows where her nose is, her eyes, her ears, her hair, I say Lulu brush your teeth and she will take her little finger and brush her teeth so cute, she will put her little finger to her lips and say "shhhhhhh", she knows where her tummy is, she will blow kisses, you say be a monkey and she will scratch her chest while making monkey sounds, she folds her arms, she knows how to sign all done, more, and please.  Please is my favorite sign that she does it is so cute!  She is getting smarter every day and she makes me smile all the time with all the cute and fun things she is learning to do.  

 Two last pictures of Lulu and Cody before the New Year.  I love this picture of Lulu giving her dad one last kiss in the year 2011!

 Cheers to a New Year, we had a great night we played games, ate lots of food, played Just Dance on the wii, and went swimming in the hot tube.  It was a great night and a great way to bring in the new year. 

 On Sunday we went and feed the ducks and Lulu did a great job and she had lots of fun!
