Stacking... One, Two ...

Besides having a love for shoes Juliana LOVES her chairs! Often times she will put both of them side by side, then she will go from one to the other. Both chairs have to go nearly everywhere (in the house) with her. Recently she has learned how to stack the chairs. She is so adorable!

Just Because

She is way too cute! LOVE these times!

 

You Say

Juliana is growing, growing, growing!!! She can put her shoes on. The only hiccup with it is not knowing right from left. But it is still cute and pretty good for a little one her age.

Juliana will often times put other people's shoes on too! It's adorable to watch her walk around with these big shoes on. Check out the below video... she has a little sass too.

We also keep finding her with her clothes off more and more. The other day she had her diaper off and was about to make a real mess of things. After she takes them off she likes to try and put them back on or put them in the laundry basket. She catches on so fast! I can't believe how quickly she is growing and she is so independent.

I LOVE when I get to be home with her. She has the sweetest personality, but at times can be shy around others. Juliana has the cutest giggle and wave. She talks (below is a list of things she has said), plays, watches for the birds and bunnies, dances and gives kisses all day long. It's perfect! Once in a while she may get frustrated and bang her head on the floor. We must work with her on that. It's usually when she is really tired and wants you to put her in bed.

We have heard her say all of the following...

• mama, mom
• dada, dad, daddy
• Ty
• Teddy
• hi
• bye
• belly button
• cracker
• no
• glasses
• diaper
• puppy
• more
• thank
• milk
• clothes
• bird
• socks
• shhh
• yeah
• tickle
• ball
• hey

 She also puts words together.

• "Hey, mom"
• "Ty stop"
• "What's that?"
• "No more"
• "Uh-oh"

I'm sure I have missed some things to but that is what I can remember. There are some other words she is trying to get down but hasn't quite got it like cat and bath.

For the longest time we only used one sign with her, milk. But she is quickly learning new signs (more, eat, hat, potty) to communicate what she wants. We have also had her on the potty several times. But we try not to push her so that comes and goes.

I could go on and on all day about the things she does but I will leave you with that! Have a GREAT day!

At The Park

Last weekend we got to enjoy sometime together at the park. It was a fun relaxing day! The little moments in life... I could do this all the time. 

Practice Makes Perfect

It is a GREAT day to be outside. Lil miss Juliana and I went for a walk. I've only baby wore a couple of times since she was born. I LOVE carrying her so I am trying to do it more often!

One thing that holds me back is the unknowns... Am i doing it right? What is the best? That's the perfectionist in me. The few times I have tried we were only successful once, that was at the Mutt Strut. The other times we just looked like lunactics trying to get her strapped on right. Guess thats why we should practice before going out. I fully intend to do so all summer.

I would like to try other carrier styles and wraps. But I'll practice with what i got for now.

A New Ride

Yesterday, Matt took the plunge and bought a new vehicle. We are thrilled. Matt works his tail off paying the bills, helping with the housework and taking care of Juliana. So he really deserves it.

What's Bedtime

It is more fun to undress ourselves than sleep.
