Lulu is 18 months!

No longer a little baby, lulu is such a little girl now! Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday this little creature was handed to me on the hospital bed and I fell in love all over again. She adds spark to our family and is so much fun right now .... Here's what she is up to ..

• She loves dress up and brings me costumes from the dress up box to help her put on all the time. At the moment a purple superhero cape is her favourite, she puts her arms out and zooms around the house.

• She has the cheesyist smile and is more than happy to flash it for the camera when I say smile. 

• She gets egged on so much by Holly and Harry, especially when they laugh at something she does.

• She is a real girly girl, she loves necklaces and beads and walks round the house with a handbag over her shoulders most days, she loves shoes and has started wanting to pick her shoes!

• She eats really well, especially at dinner time, she eats the same amount as the others but always finishes first, she loves broccoli but doesn't really like toast or sandwiches?

• her speech is slowly getting better, her comprehension is seriously amazing, she is very switched on. She has about 20-30 words in her vocab, however they are not all clear. 

• She loves music. She will always be the first to dance when the music goes on.

• She loves animals, especially dogs and birds, she is constantly pointing at birds.

• She is a real Mummy's girl, she would be happy to sit on my hip with her head on my shoulder for ages.

• She loves her night time books, her favourites right now are Hairy McClarey and the very cranky bear.

• She has no physical fear. Which is super scary for me. She will climb on anything and fly head first down slides! 

• She has had a terrible time teething over the past 8 months, she still has 2 eye teeth and one molar to come through.

• She sleeps very well during the day 12.30pm for 2-3 hours. Night time is still a bit hit and miss, but mostly due to teething we think.

• She loves to give us all kisses and is super affectionate.

• She is very independent, has to feed herself, has a mind of her own and likes to do things her way ... This little girl is going to give me a run for my money, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Love you baby girl xx
