Going to the Zoo

We went to the zoo today.  It was a lot of fun.  I have not been there since I was just a little baby.  I got to see lots of animals.  I saw elephants, tigers, lions, zebra, giraffes, seals, polar bears, and a lot more.  We took the wagon so that we could ride and did not have to walk.  Sometimes Riley would ride with me and sometimes Luci would ride with me, but I got to ride all of the time.  The zoo is a really big place.  I saw a lot of enormous bugs!  I don’t know if they were real or not, I hope not because Riley and Luciana were just walking right up to them and they did not attacking them! I got to ride on the carousel too! I rode on the tiger with Mommy. It did not go up and down, it just stayed put and that was okay with me. I am glad that we went to the zoo and I hope that we go again soon.  

Uh Oh!!

Recently I started saying Uh Oh when I drop stuff.  Everyone thinks that it is so cute.   Riley likes to get me to do it.  She will drop things on purpose just so I will say it.  She doesn’t think that I know she is doing that, but I do.  I still say it for her because everyone likes it and I like making everyone laugh.  

Standing Tall

I stood today by myself for about one minute.  Mommy and I were doing my laundry and I decided to just stand there while I was sorting it.  I was putting all the socks in the baskets.  Mommy was looking at all the tags to sort hot and cold.  I can’t read yet so that had to be her job.  I have done some standing before, but not for very long.  Mommy was really excited but she didn't have her camera to catch the moment, maybe next time.  Mommy and Daddy really hope I start walking soon, I think they may change their minds once I really do start.  

1st Birthday Party

 

I had my birthday party today.  I didn't know what you do on birthday parties.  I never had one before.  Well, Mommy makes you a shirt with the number 1.  Then a bunch of people come to your house.  Some people I know like Gram and Grandma and Landon.  Some people I don't know.  They all liked me wearing this hat though.  

Then you get to eat a cake.  Mommy made the cake too.  She makes everything.  What a Mommy!  I never had cake before.  Well, one time I think Poppy gave me some cake when Mommy wasn't looking.  But that was it. It was good.  Yummmmy.

There were lots of kids to help me open presents.  I didn't care too much because I liked playing with the cards and the bags.  The kids were excited for my presents though.  There were toys and clothes.  I like getting boy toys like trucks and airplanes.  My sisters have lots toys like dolls but no good trucks or cars.   

11 Months

I turned 11 months old today and I had a new friend born today.  Carson Lage was born today.  We will probably play together when he gets a little bigger.  Mommy says I will be too rough with him right now.  I am not really doing anything new.  I babble a lot and talk to Riley and Luciana all the time.  I still just love playing with those girls and they love to play with me.  Mommy and Daddy have to tell them to leave me alone.  I am still cruising around the coffee table and pushing my lion around.  I haven’t taken any steps and I am not standing on my own yet.  Ehh maybe next month.    

All I Want For January is My Two Front Teeth!

My two front teeth are starting to come in.   Mommy is worried that I will start biting people now.  I don’t think that I will do that, it would be mean.  I am just excited about what that might mean for eating.  I think that I may also start to look a little bit more grown up. Daddy is worried about my teeth because they are coming in pretty far apart. I think he should just give me time before he judges me or he can just start saving money now for my braces. Heck that guy has to face it he will probably have to pay for braces for at least 2 out of 3. Luci looks like she may have teeth like Mommy and Riley and I have teeth like him.

10 Months

My first month birthday in the new year and still no walking.  I do have a new interest.  I have started watching some TV.  I kind of like it.  Mommy turns it on a baby channel for me.  Sometimes she does it in the morning, but daddy changes the channel to Mike & Mike because of Luciana.  She needs to get ready in the morning and if one of my shows is on she will get sucked into watching with me.  But when Mike & Mike is on she won't watch and I still really like it.  Daddy and I get our manly bonding time with our sports show.

I am starting to eat more food from the table.  Mommy and Daddy said that I eat better than Luci.  I will pretty much try anything they put in front of me.  Riley says that I am a good eater like her.  I really like puffs and my yogurt bites.  Mommy lets Luci give me some more puffs when I run out.  I really like that because Mommy can't always give me more puffs when I run out and I hate running out.  I let everyone know when I am out of my food because I don't like it.

I am still crawling around every where.  I am moving pretty fast now and I follow everyone around the house.  Mommy closes the bathroom doors because I like to go in there and play.  Sometimes Mommy will say "Come on Julian" and then pat her leg and Daddy says that she needs to stop talking to me like I am a dog.  I don't think that Mommy thinks that I am a dog, but Daddy is kind of right.

I am still not back to sleeping through the night because I am just getting over my third ear infection.  I had one the beginning of November, December, and January.  Mommy and Daddy wish that I would stay in my own bed and stay asleep.  I really don't care because when I wake up I just miss them and I want to be with them, not alone in my bedroom.  I mean seriously why would I want to be alone?

I wonder what changes next month will bring.  Will I be walking?
