“Little wonder
You little wonder, you”
Lulu is now full-on walking! She is doing great on her own, although sometimes appears wobbly like a drunken sailor. We were always so worried about her walking around on our brick floors while she was learning, but no major head trauma has happened thankfully. She’s had a few head bumps and face plants that resulted in a bruised cheek. Luckily that is all.
There is one member of the household that doesn’t quite know what to make of her new-found mobility. That would be Spooky. He is used to simply relocating whenever she got close to him, but now she downright chases him! Its so funny to watch, like something you’d see in a commercial or a movie. He tries to seek refuge from her by jumping up on the back of the couch, but she’s so tall now that even when he does she can still touch his feet.
Pretty soon he’ll learn to make himself scarce while she’s running around. Otherwise one day he’ll find himself sitting at a tea party wearing a baby doll dress.
Lately, she has been exhibiting a streak of independence and quite a little temper. It typically coincides with nap or bed time when she is tired, but when she gets mad she either hits or pinches me. I know I should be deterring her from doing so, but I think it’s really adorable. I know that will wear out it’s welcome soon.
Another new skill: when she doesn’t want you to pick her up she straightens her body out and goes limp! Heh, what a bratty little skill to master, right? I know, hard to believe from a little girl with such an angelic little face!
I really like this photo despite the unibrow! Her eyelashes, cheeks and lips make up for it.
And while she still isn’t saying a whole lot of words, when she wants something or wants you to look at something, she has learned to point at it. So…she now points at EVERYTHING, which helps with communication, even though occasionally convoluted.

Baby Frazier version 2.0 update
We’re coming into home stretch waiting for the arrival of baby 2.0. Thankfully this pregnancy has been incident free. Six weeks (or less) to go and we are heinously (mentally) unprepared for the new arrival, although physically I am ready! The waiting and wondering is the hardest part.
