Christmas Day

 

Actually that Santa guy is okay because he brought me a "bootball" (that is what we call footballs, basketballs, baseballs, etc) and a hoop!  I started playing on it as soon as I woke up and found it by the tree. I can dunk on this thing.

I got a lot of presents from Santa and Mommy and Daddy.  This year I can open presents myself. I tore into some fruit snacks in my stocking.  I got a new phone and some Jake stuff and clothes.  Lots of new stuff to play with.

What is all this Santa talk?

Everybody keeps talking about Santa and Christmas.  I don't know what that is all about.  I saw this Santa guy once and he just seemed scary to me. Daddy and Mommy tried to get me to sit on his lap.  No way. I hope he doesn't come to my house.  I don't know about him.

I went to church tonight.  Mommy dressed me up all handsome.  Then we went to eat and Gram and Papi were there.  I ate some sushi with Papi.

 

 

Then I put on my new jammies - with that Santa guy on them!  And we watched a movie (Polar Express) before going to bed. 

 



I guess I will see what this Christmas stuff is tomorrow. 

Handsome Haircut Time

Here is what I looked like before my haircut.

This is what I look like after my haircut. No more shaggy boy.

I was good when the lady was cutting my hair.  I just woke up from a nap and they made me sit in a weird chair.  So I was not too happy but then Mommy held me and gave me a "pappy".  Then it was okay.

My Pappy (Pacifier)

I can't stop.  I think that I am addicted.  I don't know what that means but that is what Daddy said to me,  Help me... just don't take away my pappy!

Cold Outside

It is cold outside. Don't forget your gloves. 

I Like To Eat Salsa!

 

 

Straight from bowl.  No chips needed.

Happy Halloween Cowboys!

 

 

He is the rootinest tootinest cowboy in Sterling Oaks!  I got to learn about Halloween and dressing up and getting candy.  I was Woody from Toy Story.  I met the real Woody at Disney World but he was scary with a big huge head.

Halloween was great because you go to houses and take candy.  Some people put the whole bowl in front of me to pick it out.  I would carry the candy in my hands until we got new candy and I would drop the old candy in the bag.  It was really cold and my nose was running and my cheeks were red but I didn't want to stop. 

Fun At Disney

I did have lots of fun at Disney World.  I got to do a lot of stuff with my sisters.  And I saw all kinds of things that I have never seen before.  And I hung with Gram and Great Aunt Mary a lot. Sometimes they took me to dinner and got mayonnaise on me or took me to the hotel to go to sleep.

I got to stay up late some nights.  And we shared beds in the hotel room so I didn't have to sleep by myself.

 

 

I saw some good shows like Lion King and Nemo. I could do some of the rides on Mommy's lap but not as much as rides as Riley and Luci.  Maybe if I come back when I am bigger I could do more stuff.  But it was a lot of stuff for a little guy like me.

 

 

Julian Meets Characters

There were some scary things at Disney World.  Mommy and Daddy kept making me go by these things with big heads.  I didn't like them and I was scared.

I like my Buzz toy but not when he is bigger than Daddy.

 

This princess tried to talk to me and give me a high five. But I wasn't going for it.

 

 

 

I started doing better.  I walked up and gave one princess my book to sign. She said I was going to be a brave warrior and protect my sisters.

 

 

I kinda smiled with Juke because I have a Jake.

 



Dancing With Disney Jr Live

Small World For Small Guy

 

 

My first ride at Disney World was Peter Pan.  It was pretty good.  But I really liked the little kids boat ride (It's A Small World After All).  It was all little kids like me.  And they were dancing and riding and playing.  Some of them were flying with balloons. 

I was pointing at all of it and saying one of my only words "look!". 

My First Flight

 

 

I got to ride on an airplane!  I look up in the sky when I hear one outside. Now I look out the window from the airplane. 

 

I played with the tray and almost hit myself in the face.  But I was pretty good and I took naps every time we went on the plane. No crying.

Just Me

I just thought I would show a picture of me looking more like a big boy these days. Me and Daddy were playing ball outside waiting for Ashley's wedding to start.

Da Bears

Daddy is ready for me to watch football with him.  Go Bears!



Julian The Menance

I am into EVERYTHING.  I climb on chairs and tables.  And shelves too.  Some of my favorite toys to play with are the heavy, wooden yardstick from the door and iPhones and cans of soup and DVDs (actual discs pulled out of their cases) and Mommy's jewelry.  Those are all good toys for toddler, right?   I think so.

Some things have missing around the house and I am getting blamed for them.  I was playing with the dolphin from Riley's school project and then Mommy couldn't find it.  She blamed me.  I don't know why.  I have hid some stuff in the trash can.  Daddy found a remote and sippy cup in there.  Who knows what he didn't find?  :-)

When the door for Mommy and Daddy's bathroom is not closed I like to go into the shower room and close the door.  Sometimes it is wet in there so I can play with the water puddles. Fun!

But my favorite thing to do is still wreck my sisters' kitchen.  I think it looks better with all of the food and cups on the floor and me in the sink.

My First Cubs Game

I went to my first Cubs baseball game.  There were lots and lots of people there.  The baseball game is played at Wrigley.  Just like my doggie's name, Wrigley.  Daddy said that the Wrigley baseball place is 100 years old.  I am only 1 so I think that is way older.

I am still learning about baseball games but I like watching them.  I like to clap when everyone else claps.  But sometimes I clapped for the orange team (Orioles).  I'm still learning.  The Cubs won the game 7-2.  I saw number 9 hit a homerun. Daddy says he might be favorite player when I get bigger. 

I picked out a baseball in the store.  It has a hat and feet.  I am always picking up balls and I like to throw them around.  I throw pretty good already.  I threw the ball to some people sitting in front of us. But then Daddy didn't want it dirty so he put it away in the bag until we got in the car. No fun. 

They stopped playing baseball when it was raining (3 hour delay).  We were there for a long time but I only took one short nap.  I can't eat peanuts and Cracker Jack but I ate some popcorn and grapes.  My first Cubs game is in the books. 

Holiday World

I went to the Santa Claus place with rides.  It was great because even I could ride them.  You don't have to be a big kid. Is that the guy that brings presents?

I rode on seahorsies and on rocket ships.  Mommy and Daddy thought I might get scared but I didn't get scared.  I liked riding by myself and being a big boy.

 

I played in the pool and went down a bunch of pool slides. It was so much fun I didn't want to take a nap.  But finally I took a nap in my stroller.  Santa Claus has a really fun place.

 

 

More Florida Pictures

I am a wild man in the pool.  I don't stay in my raft and you have to hold on to me because I will try and take off swimming. I guess since I have been walking for a few months then it must be time to start swimming.

I like playing in the ocean too. But not too far where sharks could get me.

 

Hey up there!

 

 

Taking a break after a stroll with Daddy.

 

More beach 'sploring.  Like Dora.

Hey, someone catch that runaway boy on the beach!
