There are a bunch of things about Julian right now that I just want to remember, so what better place to archive them than our dear blog.
1. This weekend Julian finally switched from saying, "Mama, hold you," when he wanted to be picked up to saying, "Mama, hold me." I think he said the former because when he would asked to be picked up, I would ask him if he wanted "Mama to hold you." I have corrected him on occasion but never pushed it. This weekend when I told him that he should say Mama hold me, he just made the switch. Warms my heart and makes me nostalgic at the same time.
2. When he sings Baa Baa Black Sheep, he sings, "Baa baa black sheep, have you any woof?" This cracks me up.
3. This is how he sings Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (and usually quite loudly):
Krinkle, Krinkle yittle sar
How I wonda whatchoo ah
Up above the worl so high
Yike a diamon Krinkle Kai
Krinkle, Krinkle yittle sar
How I wonda whatchoo ah
4. When he's pretending to be on the phone, he almost always says, "Hello, Tia!" (Referencing my friend, Courtney, who he calls Tia.)
5. He has started saying, "Aww, man..." when stuff happens that he doesn't like. This morning when it was time to put on his coat....Aww, man.
6. When we went to my grandmother's funeral during the holidays, we talked a lot about how this devout woman would often say, "O Lord," in her German accent. Julian has taken to saying, "O Lord" in my grandmother's German accent.
7. Julian says OK a lot, but as in the movie Princess Bride, Vince and I often say, "You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means." He will ask to watch a show (something on TV or online) and we will say no. He says ok, and then proceeds to whine about watching a show...or having a balloon...or getting his diaper changed...or whatever. He says ok like he understands, but then perhaps he's showing his disappointment.
8. I'm sure there's more, but that's about all my brain remembers at the moment. Thanks for checking in with us!

That's such a fun list! :)
What fun reading -- felt like a visit to your living room. :-)

These are the kinds of things you really do forget, Jeff and I were just talking today about this thing Sam does when he is telling us a story - neither know how to capture it but we don't want to forget it. There were things like that with Casey too, but if they aren't on the blog they are gone! Good thinking to get these down on "paper" :)
