Hair there folks....

Well folks,

An update on my hair situation.  I have good news to report that my bald spot in the back of the head is progressing nicely and almost gone!

Here is a shot right out of the bath for you...

If you look closely on to the left you'll notice one of the "stragglers" that never fell out!

Mom liked the look so much that she thought she'd copy it!



Well folks, I have toys that are calling my name and I can't let them down so I'm off to shake up some things and stick them in my mouth!

Later folks,

Lulu

I'm back!

Well folks,

I'm back... back in Ireland and back on the blog so no fear, Stinky Baby's Here!

Last Sunday, Mom & I arrived back in Dublin and Dad picked us up at the airport.  Mom said I was pretty good on the flight home only had about 30 minutes of fussiness before I fell asleep.    I was so happy to see my Daddy and had to wear my new outfit!

I think Dixie & Daisy were happy to see me to!   Dixie told me next time she's coming with me...

Well last week was a blur for me, you see not only was I a bit messed up on the time change but I'm also teething.   Now, unless you have grown a few teeth in the past month you cannot feel my pain!  So Mon - Friday last week I would happily go to bed at 7:30pm and fall fast asleep but then around 1am I was up and ready to play!  I wanted Mommy & Daddy to play with me but they refused so I would get very angry and I would not go to sleep in protest!   Most nights I would finally pass out around 4am but as Daddy gets up to go to work around 4:45am no one in the house was getting much sleep!

I mean if you saw my smiling face at 1am wouldn't you play with me?

After a while Mom and Dad figured out this squinty weird smile must mean my teeth hurt!

So with no sleeping last week Mom & Dad took me on lots of walks to get some fresh air hoping it would help me snooze!  However a girl has to remember to check herself in the mirror before leaving the house...

"Mom, I think I'm missing something"

"Much better Mom, know I'm ready for the canals!"

There was some other big news last week!   I'm going to have a new Auntie!!!  Uncle Paul proposed to Kirstie in Bruges while I was in the states!  Mom and Dad went to their engagement party but I was ditched (but I got to play with Nana & Grandad so I was a happy baby!)

They're thinking of getting married this time next year so I can't wait!  Will be loads of fun but I need to learn the Daddy dance first! Ha!

So that's the news for last week folks, more to come soon!

Love, Lulu

La Fleur Lulubelle

Well folks,

I'm loving hanging out with Gramps everyday when he gets home from work.   He's still the only person that I really laugh for since he's so funny!

Today, Mom and I decided to go to meet Grammie for lunch so Mom put a bow in my hair to make Grammie happy.  I thought I looked so cute and finally no one called me a boy (yesterday even in my dress I was told I was a handsome little boy!)  

When we arrived home, Mom thought she'd capture my first bow and took a photo of me...

And yes, you observant readers, Snaggle Tooth has a friend!!  My 2nd tooth arrived on my lucky day (Friday the 13th!)

So as Mom & I don't "do" pink she asked me what I think of bows....

Well we'll see Mom as it is sort of cute now that my hair is finally growing in.  We were hanging around in the garden and I spotted a pretty flower...

I should have know better as the next thing I knew, Mom was whisking me away laughing to herself... never a good sign if you're me!

Yup, there I was folks, plopped down in a flower pot!

"Mom, I'm NOT a flower!"

I mean really, do I taste/smell like a flower?

Or am I as tall as a flower?

I'm definitely as pretty as a flower...

OH NO!  Gramps arrived home and decided to plant me in the garden!

Well, I guess that I'll call myself "The Lulubelle Flower"

So as the sun has gone down, so must Lulubelle turn in for the night!
Love, Lulu

Hmmm.... I wonder if flowers eat leaves?

California Baby

Well folks,

I'm back from California and had a great vacation! I finally got to meet my Auntie Kimmer!!! She was really cool, first she lives across the street from Paramount Studios and Sophie really wanted to get her photo taken so here we are...

How cool is Kimmer?   WAY COOL she gave me a pair of ears with my name on them!  I was so happy I couldn't contain myself!

We went out to LA for Kimmer's wedding and she's hitched now... Mrs Paul Salisian.    Mom told me it was a good wedding but I went to play with a babysitter and had lots of fun so I didn't get to go to the wedding... here are the newlyweds though.

The rest of the time in LA was fun.  I got to hang with the Turks and Jess most of the time.  We went to Santa Monica Beach....

And to Beverly Hills...

"Hey Mom, I think I need a new suitcase, I think that shop over there sells some..."

It was a great holiday and I got to see my Uncle JJ & Aunt Nicole (or Chuckie).   They're coming for lunch today so I need a photo with Nicole but here I am with Uncle JJ!

Off to take a bit of a snooze (since I woke at 6am today).

Love, Lulu

Hanging with the Stars... Hollywood Style

Well folks,

I'm in LA and LOVIN' IT!   We arrived yesterday and I made sure that everyone had their bags at the airport... Mom calls this my "Mafia Face"



Yesterday, we decided to hit up Hollywood so we ventured to the Chinese Theatre to see the Walk of Fame.   I found my star (although Mom tells me the name isn't spelled right... but as I don't know how to spell my name I told her it was close enough!)

After the walk of fame, we went shopping and to see my first glimpse of the Hollywood Sign. 

"Look Emily it's over there!"

I was so happy to be in Hollywood!

So this morning, Mom decided it was best not to go with everyone to the wine country as she said that I scream too much in the car.  (Mom I just DON'T like car seats otherwise I'm a happy baby!)  So Mom & I walked to the Grove shopping area and Farmers Market.

Here I am at the Grove...

Here I am at the market...

And when we arrived to shop they had all these camera's set out.   I told Mom they must have know that Stinky Baby was coming so I took a photo.   

Mom and I walked around a bit and then we went back to the cameras and there were a few people you may recognize...

Yup that's Tom Selleck & Mario Lopez everyone!   At this point I was tired, cranky and hungry so Mom and I went into the theatre for some boobie.    We hung out for about a 1/2 hour as Mom thought I was too hot and then when we were ready to go back outside she had to put me back into the stroller (and carseat) and yup you guessed it I screamed my head off again.

So as she was rushing to get me (screaming) out Mario Lopez walked in the door and was laughing at me as I was screaming - he smiled at Mom and said they're fun aren't they so she asked for a photo.

(He was changing as I think he interviewed someone else as well but we didn't stick around... Mom said she had to walk me to sleep!)

So sorry Brennan but I think I have a new Man!


Love, Lulu

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Well folks,

Today's my Dad's birthday and I'm not in Ireland to celebrate it.  I really wish I was there with him so today when I woke up I told Mom to dress me in my party outfit!

Daddy I love you!!! Happy birthday & can't wait to see you!

So you may think that being 3000+ miles away from your Dad means not being able to talk to him... but no not with this baby!  I'm high tech and Daddy and I talk everyday on Skype!

I had to show Daddy my party outfit!  He said he really liked it!

So Happy Birthday Daddy & see you soon!

Love the best daughter in the wold... LULU

Snaggles or McPhee...

Well folks,

The weather today was finally warm so Mom and I went to the park to chill out.   So I lathered on the suncream and my hat and off we ventured to Riverside in La Crosse.  

So Mom of course decided to take photos of me when she noticed my tooth was really sticking out today.  She tells me I look like Nanny McPhee and is calling me snaggles.... not very nice huh?  I don't know I think it is sort of a cute little feature... really bringing out my eyes?

Every time I smile or laugh Mom gets a flash of the tooth....

I have another one that is ready to come up but it has been like that for 3 weeks now.   I told Mom I'm saving it for a special day but not telling her when so you'll just have to wait.  So I just chilled with Mom until I got too hot and decided to head home!

As a side note grass is not nice against soft baby skin....

MOM! Will you please STOP taking photos of me and get me back on that blanket now!

Ok folks, Snaggles here signing off!

Love,
Lulu

Old Friends & Cousins!

Well folks,


I had a great weekend up in the Twin Cities this weekend with Mom & Grammie.  We went up on Friday to meet up with my cousin Derek, aunt Alissa, uncle Timmy and friends from Rhinelander, Debi, Lindsay, Kaiden & Briley.   WOW that was a lot of people!

On Friday night Mom and I went to meet up with some of her DG friend's at Amy's house.  It was so fun and I got to meet more DG babies.  Don't I look cool sitting there with the big kids!

 (Amy's Eli, Cynthia's Ethan, Amy's Lucille, & ME!)

On Saturday morning Grammie took me swimming.  I floated like I do for Mom but Grammie told me Mom could really swim by 6 months so I put my whole head underwater 3 times to show her I could swim!

Don't mind that paste-y white baby skin folks, I need to keep my backside smooth as butter & out of the sun!

I was so happy when Derek & uncle Timmy came to swim with us!

  "Now Derek don't worry when Grammie takes you she'll dunk you in the water but it is fun!"

Grammie was happy to have both her grand babies together!

After lunch we headed over to the Como Park Zoo with everyone!

I was having a great time at the park with everyone...

When all of the sudden, Sophie (My favorite toy friend from Cynthia) found her parents!  She was so happy to find them and told them all about her travels to Ireland.   I thought she was going to ditch me and stay at the zoo, but Sophie told her parents that she wanted to visit Hollywood so she's sticking with me (sigh of relief all around!)

My cousin Derek was really cool.  He showed me his teeth and how to eat... he eats A LOT of food! 



At the end of the day, we all went on the carousel which went really fast so I had to hang on tight to Mom!




I had such a fun time up in the cities!   Can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Love, Lulu
