Lu 17 Months

Okay, time is flying and I don’t like it, so there it is.

Lu is 17 months, and she is all over the place. She wants to say what Z says do what he does and be just like him, but without him touching, hugging, or otherwise messing with her, so all about Z… from a distance, sounds familiar.

And as you can see, it’s difficult for him to keep his hands off of her…

She is saying a lot of new words, one of which being “SSSaaayyyyyyyyd,” hilarious I love it! She can do a lot of animal sounds and is generally interested in animals although an encounter with a neighbor’s dog has her a little on edge around dogs.

She’s a little feisty and does things like slap your hand away when you dare offer her something she doesn’t like. She also likes to throw her food on the floor when she’s done with it. Although they tell me at school that they don’t see this feisty side. So, it’s just me then, great.

She really is a good eater. She eats a lot of things Z wouldn’t at her age.  She’s already had things like skittles and fruit loops that I wouldn’t have even given Z at this age, so I guess with the good comes a little bad.

They have just begun the age old tradition of wanting what the other kid has just because he/she has it. Do I really need to elaborate?

She’s sleeping great and down to one nap, the timing of which varies widely, but the best days are when she and Z sleep from around 1 to 3 (sometimes 4). That is a little bit of heaven right there!

Just as heavenly though are the days when we get home at a decent hour and we just hang out outside and enjoy the weather. It’s the perfect ending to a long day!
