Reclining

Julia likes her "Cocorico" DVDs, which are puppet stories of animals on the farm in Brazil. She's learned to get pretty comfortable watching them.

A little spring love for Daddy

Julia likes riding around on Daddy's shoulders. Occasionally while she is up there, she likes to hug Daddy's head, and every once a while will bend down to give him a kiss on the cheek.

I love you Julia!!!!

Outdoor Time

The weather has gotten warm down here, so we're spending more time outside on the back patio, letting Julia play somewhere other than indoors.

She enjoys reclining with her daddy.

Bubbles are a great hit. Julia calls them "goals", because everything that is round is a ball, and every ball is a "goal".

Julia's gotten to climbing now also. She'll go up just about anything she can get her feet up on. When we're working outside, she just can't resist helping Mom with the grape vines.

Learning letters

We found some magnetic letters for Julia to play with on the refrigerator recently and put them up. She's getting pretty good, able to name most of the numbers and quite a few of the letters as well.

Assembling Chairs

We got Julia a couple of chairs a month or two ago.

She decided she wanted to help out putting them together.

Like any good do it yourselfer, she's already working on wearing her clothes like a professional. She doesn't show off as much as a plumber, thanks to wearing a onesie instead of the traditional untucked shirt.

Fortunately Mom rescued her from her sagging jeans and rewarded her with a bottle for all of her hard work putting the chairs together.

Popsicle

Some fun pictures of Julia and her Popsicle one day recently.
