Lula and Maggie enjoyed a great Memorial Day weekend even if only one of them was allowed to actually go to the beach.

Weekend Update
We had a nice lazy family weekend - probably our last for a while with beach season upon us and an upcoming move.
On Saturday we walked around all afternoon and did some furniture shopping. Lula fell in serious baby love with a sheepskin rug at Room & Board but her mean old mom declined to buy the baby a $100 rug. Maybe as a housewarming gift.
Sunday we all went to my grandmothers 97th birthday party. It was nice to see Momma and she remarked that Lula had real red hair. Poor Momma had 10 kids and none of them had red hair like she hoped.
Lula tried so many new foods this weekend - strawberries, raspberries, eggs, pancakes with syrup, ice cream, and avocado. I bet she had an entire serving of guacamole - pretty impressive for a baby.

a mothers wish
I've seen lots of writing in the past few days about mothers wishes for their children - and I hope to someday make a comprehensive list both of things I wish for Lula and things I hope to teach her. But today, a more practical hope.
I hope that she gets a kind and patient college roomate who will roll her over from her stomach to her back in the middle of the night when she wakes up crying SINCE SHE MAY NEVER LEARN TO DO THIS FOR HERSELF. This roomate will also have to toss Celia back in bed with her several times a night and should always keep a few pacifiers within arms reach just in case.
On the bright side, this roomate will not be expected to change any diapers since I fully expect that other children will shame her into using the toilet at some point before she goes to college.

Sweet
Look who has enough hair for a real bow!
She is so so sweet. So good tempered and snuggly and happy and smiley. Boy, did we hit the baby jackpot.

Food
Likes:
Milk
Pears
Apples
Bannana/Squash
Apples/Blueberries/Spinach
Dislikes:
Squash
Rice Cereal
Pineapple
Oranges
Avocado
This weekend I hope to introduce yogurt and work on some more textured foods. Lula is interested in what we are eating, but anything that isnt a liquid of a puree is pretty much rejected immediately. Maybe its just the texture?

Beach
Last weekend Lula made her inagural trip to the beach where her cousins gave her a bouncy seat. Which. She. Loved.
She bounced and bounced and bounced. In the tv doorway, the bathroom doorway and even the bedroom doorway. When I first put her in there she bounced for an hour and forty minutes. I looked over at one point and she had stopped bouncing and was slumped over like she'd been shot. She rallied and bounced a little more before calling it quits for the day.
We might fire Norah and just put her in the bouncy seat in the am and let her take her meals on the attached tray and sleep whenever she is so physically exhausted she cant bounce anymore. If we could successfully train Giz to tap out 911 in case of serious emergency we will change our child care set up and promote Giz to Chief Childcare Officer.
She also played and chatted with her cousin Maggie. God help us when these two party animals ask for the house for Beach Week 2020.
