Feline Conversations

Here, you can watch Julia conversing with her "cat"... the stone hedgehog that resides on our property. It has become a ritual of hers that whenever we go into or out of the house, we must stop and have a quick coversation with the kitty.

Favorite Word of the Week: Down

Adam has been working on "Up" and "Down" with Julia for a few months now... and like a light switch, "Down" has finally taken root and it is her new favorite word.

------------------------

Me: "Julia, sit down."

Julia: "Down, Down!"

------------------------

As she walks down ANY stairs... "Down, down!"

------------------------

When she's done eating... "Down, down!"

------------------------

As I'm pulling her up from a laying position...

Me: "Julia, let's get up!"

Julia: "Down, down!"

------------------------

It is super cute, and today as we were leaving the house for daycare, I caught her saying "Down!" multiple times on video.

Enjoy!

Poodle Leash

Really, there is no way to get around it... a "child harness" is really a "leash".
I bought one (more like, broke down and bought one) for our pending trip to California June 17 - 21. Julia loves to be out and walking around, but I hate the thought of her getting away from me or being snatched... not that a "leash" would prevent that, by any means, but at least it should help me keep tabs on her a bit.
Adam has been the most successful one at getting Julia to wear her harness... here she is on Saturday... Adam had it on her and she couldn't have cared less.
Here's hoping *I* can put it on her and it works while we are on vacation...!

For Grandma

My mom bought this dress for Julia a few months ago... it has finally been warm enough for her to wear it. So cute! It is adorable on her! Julia received a bunch of comments on it yesterday, especially when she had her shoes on (sandals that pretty much completely match the dress, by coincidence!).
