Peek-a-Boo!

Lulu sees you!

Taking Charge of Mealtime

Ahh the joy of utensils.  Lulu is discovering that forks are fun.  Mommy is discovering that they create new a whole host of new messes.  Who doesn't enjoy flinging peas over their shoulder?

Little Ladybug

Here's the Ladybug Lulu showing off some of her new birthday clothes. Accessorized with a big smile of course.  Tres chic!

So Famous They Named a Road After Her

Somewhere between Dension and Lubbock, on Highway 82 just east of the thriving Metropolis of Henrietta, Texas, lies the most fabulous of all roads.  Many thanks to Grandma for sending us this shot, taken en route home from her high school reunion (we don't name years). Auntie Krista and Grandma have long admired this sign but, until now, haven't gotten quite the right angle.  Mission accomplished.

Ladies and Gentlemen....J Lu!

You've heard of J Lo and K Fed and Brangelina.  Even the more obscure K Stew or Robsten.  But here's your sneak peek at the latest, hottest couple to be stalked by papparazzi (and Perez Hilton).  It's J Lu!  Julian Perez (a modern day James Dean and lead singer of the Grammy award winning J Dolls) and Lulu McHale (lead actress in the top grossing film of the year).  Stand back ladies and gents....they're ready to make their grand entrance!

ONE YEAR OLD!

It's hard to believe it's already been one year. It seems like just yesterday we were counting the minutes in anticipation of her arrival. In celebration of Lulu's first year, we had a Ladybug party for our little bug.  Mommy and Daddy spent many hours making red pom poms out of yarn to have flying ladybugs hanging from the ceiling.  (It's harder than it looks!)

Ladybugs were everywhere!  Marching up the walls, hanging from the ceiling, clinging to the fridge, and lounging on the furniture.  They even showed up on the cake!

Speaking of which, we really thought our ladybug would be more interested in her sweet treat than she was.  True she appreciated the artistry (and was attracted to the flame).

But soon she was swarmed with a bunch of crazed cake pushers!  Maybe this ladybug doesn't have such a sweet tooth.

At the end of the day it was a great start to this whole birthday thing.  She may have liked the paper and boxes more than the presents, but she definitely loved her guests (best buddy Julian, Henry, Faye, Scott, Aunt Becky) and of course, as always, her doting big brother.....

It's been an amazing year.  Looking forward to many more.
