Julia Julia

So people keep asking me, "What's new with Julia?" The girl changes every day and I guess I'm not doing a good job of letting everyone know what new things she can do. She has recently learned a lot - some good, some bad :) She is talking more - she can say mama, dada, brabra (for brother), uh-oh, hi, baby. The other day she said "hi baby" which amazed me - she put two words together! She can also hum the Elmo song which cracks me up. She has an Elmo toy on the shopping cart cover and plays it ALL THE TIME. She also hums ABCs/Twinkle Twinkle. She is half-Noelting (which means tone deaf) but does a pretty good job - it is easy to tell what she is humming. The "bad" things she has learned lately - she can open the kitchen garbage. Gross!!! And what is even worse is that she throws things away. Luckily every time she does that, it is followed by a whole string of "uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-ohhhhhh". Stinker. She continues to climb on the kitchen table, but has not thought of climbing the baby gates yet. She still loves to give kisses - Grant and I get kisses all day long and Blake gets lots when he gets home. We have a buffalo mask we bought in the Black Hills - Julia brings it too me, says "roarrrr!", puts in on my face, then kisses me. I love that game :)

Here are some pics from Vala's Pumpkin Patch - we went last weekend. Grant was so excited - he loves that place! - and Julia really enjoyed it too. It was a beautiful day!

Grant had crazy sweaty hair by the time we left. He thought it was pretty funny.
