Sassy at 17

Yesterday marked Lulu's 17 month birthday, so I thought I would use this opportunity give an update on her. Warning: I may exaggerate the wonder of Lulu a little in this post, but a Mom's got to do what a Mom's got to do.

She is uber-talented...
Paci-Power times two!

She is athletic...

As demonstrated by her new love of throwing. I thought it was really cute when she first started throwing rocks in the above pic, but I soon learned that protective headgear may be necessary while she is in throwing mode.

She is brilliant...
She doesn't just scribble, she is already starting to writing her last name...

See the "K"? I think we've got a Doogie Howser on our hands, people.

She is affectionate...

She still loves her Gunga.

She's a maniac on the floor and she's dancin' like she's never danced before...

In the above pic it is a cousin dance party, but she shakes her groove thing any time she hears music.

And she is sassy...

I don't normally grab for the camera when she is in Sass mode, so it was hard to find the right pictures to portray our new reality. Apparently, 16 months was the new 2 because this girl has already mastered saying "no" while hitting, trying to bite to express anger, and throwing herself down in a tantrum. This does not bode well for the future.

But, thankfully Miss Sassy pants is all kinds of adorable...
