Cow and Boy

Vince and I love the comic strip Cow and Boy. It's about a little boy and his best friend, a cow. They get into crazy adventures together. The boy often reminds us of Julian...in looks only, really, but we got some cute hand-me-down overalls from Casey and Sam, and we couldn't resist!

Mommy's Shoes Are Loud!

Click...Clack...




One of Julian's favorite books is quiet Loud by Leslie Patricelli. See this post for a reminder of the story. Julian found my shoes in the hallway and discovered that they made lots of fun noise on the hardwood floors. What a blast.

Twinkle, twinkle

Julian loves to sing. Or rather he loves to have anyone else sing to him. In the last two weeks he has finally started joining in. Here's a sample:




Last week, we were in the car and Jules was asking for a song. So we started singing Old McDonald. Each of us took turns saying an animal name to sing in the song. Every time we pointed at Julian for his selection, he said duck. EVERY TIME...It was very cute and made me laugh.

On a side note...he doesn't just love children's songs. He loves any kind of music. If we're out somewhere and he hears music, he will point to his ear to signal for us to listen and then pump his fist in the air as he jams out. He also has a penchant for Lady Gaga and whenever you sing the song Bad Romance and you get to the "I want your love...love, love, love, I want your love" part he gives you multiple kisses!

So sweet.

It's coming...we hope!

Sorry we've been out of the blogosphere for a while. We moved into a new apartment on June 30 (yea!), but we still don't have internet (boo!). We've been told that we will have internet at home on Wednesday of this week, but I'm at the "believe it when I see it" phase of this journey.

We have a few great pictures of Julian and our trip to the deep South, and there are a few videos in the queue as well. So, God willing and the crick don't rise, come back on Friday for some new content!

Weird Baby Stuff

Some of you will remember that when Julian was probably 8 months old we went to the doctor because Julian was doing this weird thing with his head...almost like an involuntary twitch. Vince's aunt works for a neurologist, and he said it was probably WBS...weird baby stuff. Nothing to worry about really, just something that kids do from time to time that freaks well-meaning parents out.

I'm wondering if we need a second opinion. Thoughts?

Life with a Toddler

Julian is a ton of fun! He's always on the move, and we are having a ball!



Julian didn't want what we had for dinner, so he had a cup of peanut butter instead!
