On the Second Day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me, two front teeth...

On the first day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me, a boy who could walk free...

A photo update

Julian had a visit from his GG and Grandpop (Vince's parents) on the weekend between Vince's and Julian's birthday. It was great to have them here, and Julian LOVED spending time with them.



We had a little birthday party for Julian the following weekend, and I made a monkey cake for our little monkey. I made a full-size one and a cupcake one for Jules alone.





This was his first taste of sugar. He wasn't sure about it at first but warmed up pretty quickly.

Julian's One! The Pictures

It's almost hard to believe that one year ago, we brought home this adorable little boy. After 9 months of waiting and 30 hours of labor, little Julian Blake was born at 3:09 a.m. on Monday, November 9.



And now look at him. What a handsome boy (he takes after his dad). Can you believe this is the same kid? Look how big he has gotten!



After all those pictures with Yoda throughout the year, it seemed only appropriate to get him next to Yoda in his Halloween costume.



"When last we met, I was but a learner. Now I am the master!" I'm outta here, Yoda!



Will the real Jedi Master please stand up?



And of course, dad needed to get his geek on, too. Not quite a tan tank top, but, really, we are all better off that way. :-)



Happy Birthday, monkey! We love you very much!

Julian's One! Pictures to come

I just wanted to write a quick post to say that our dear baby (sigh) turned one yesterday. We got some cute pics to post, but I had a chiropractor appointment last night and didn't get to it. I will post later this evening.

Pumpkin Fun

Reading my friend Erin's blog, she's always getting her little one (5 weeks younger than Julian) involved in some crazy dirty projects. Taking a lead from her, we decided to get a pumpkin and allow Jules to have some fun!



I'm not quite sure how he felt about it.



Gumbo just wanted to eat it!



I tried to post a video, but it's not working. Maybe soon I'll figure it out!
