babywipes?

The other night Tabatha brought her kids over we were going to scrapbook(which that did not happen) but anyways.. I had taken the top part of my bassinette out for Lauralie to sleep in which we were "scrapbooking". The day Julian and I had mommy, son time & did some arts and crafts & then watched Frosty. Julian thought the basinette was the coolest thing on earth from the time he spotted it! So he sat in the bassinette and watched Frosty & gave me the entire couch to myself :P haha. Oh, how much time Julian spent in his bassinette next to my bed.. :)

It's been a crazy household here with only 13 days left til the big moving day. It's such an emotional roller coaster, and oh so bitter sweet. Glad to be moving closer to family & having them get to know Julian, excited to have my own place to stay & that it has a yard inthe back for Julian to play outside more, SO GLAD to be saving and paying off bills.. But so very sad to be living Virginia, my new home & saying goodbye to my husband for 8 months! :(

Today I was packing up the kitchen and noticed Julian was not in my leggs like he usually is, espcially when I am sitting on the floor in the kitchen!!! When I walked out I turned to face our christmas tree & my son standing in front of it redecorating it with baby wipes!

I can tell he watches me very closely- because I just stood their quietly for a minute and watched what he was doing- & he was putting it on the tree, then taking it off and putting it back on, just in a different place. hahaha.. I am never happy, and always moving around orniments. I thought it was super cute what he was doing!. My little turkey! :P

enjoy! :)

little flirt

Another busy day in my household. However, my darling child did let me sleep until 9 am this morning!!!!! I could not believe he slept that late! I can not remember the last time I was able to sleep in! :) yay go Julian!

So I read to Julian daily, he loves books! Yet again today, after being very quiet, I walked back to see what he was up to, and found my brilliant son sitting on his bedroom floor reading a book, a counting book! :) How cute is this...




So after lunch and a nap we had a few things to take care of. First stop- the bank! Julian spotted a lady and was flirting his butt off! He was making his sweet smile for her, and was giggling! it was so funny! When we would move up in line, he would lean over the stroller to see her, and smile at her! what a turkey huh!?



Then the stinker looks at me like this!..hahahahaha


I think i meantioned that i was working on getting julian to use his folks! && he's finally going it! and with his left hand- like i figured!! :) check him out!

:) proud mommy!

oh mannn

So i watched Lauralie this afternoon while Tabatha went to a appointment, to repay her for watching Juju for my appointment this morning. I was checking my email at the kitchen table and juju was eating a snack. when i looked down he was tring to give Lauralie a teddy gram! lmao, and there were already 3 on her blanket and around her neck when I realized what he was doing. i hurried and grabbed my camera to catch it! He is such a sweet boy! he just wanted to share his snacks with his friend. I am so amazed with how gentle he is with her, and how calm he is when she is around him. It's like he knows she is a babyyy.
Julian is sooo good with Lauralie- he will be a great big brother someday! :)

This is exactly what I saw when I first looked down.. hahahaa

..hes so sweet.

oh my Julian.

Oh how our days have been sooo busy. Seems like the days are running into each other. It's so bitter sweet! We are all so ready to be in Louisiana again and have this move out the way, but very sad that with each passing day it brings us a day closer to having Joshua "Da-EE" gone for 8 whole, entire, long months.
Packing, studing and cleaning has been consuming most of our days. Yesterday I was packing and organizing my scrapbooking stuff and Julian got ahold to one of my ribbons. He has such a creative mind- and is so easily pleased. He played with the ribbon for what seemed like hours and stayed out of my feet so I could get stuff done.
Here's a few pictures I got of him keeping busy.







Last night was such a good night! Julian since about 10 or 11 months has been sleeping through out the night. He normally hears Josh when hes getting ready for work ( daddy tries to be quiet, but .. isn't so great at it..haha lOVE YOU JOSH! ) so he usually wants a cup at 5 after hearing Josh and waking up. So when I say sleeping through the night, I mean, sleeping til about 5:30- 6 and he wakes up.. I give him a half a cup or milk and hes goes back to sleep til 7- sometimes 7:30-8!!
Well, since Josh left for this underway, the first few mornings he woke up I let him cry for his cuo for a few minutes and realized he would put himself back to sleep with out it. Today was day one that he did not wake at all! he slept straight through from 7 last night til 8:15 this morning! IT WAS AMAZING! I was over joyed when I looked at the clock when I heard him yell " MOM"! haha.

I been wrapping up this semester, so being we had a busy day out in town, first thing I did today was check my emails from my teachers and knocked out, what I hope to be my last assignment. Julian was very quiet, so I went investigate to see what he was up to...
and found my sweet little brainic sitting in the living room reading a book peacefully, minding his own business! hahaha..



^ as you can see.. of course it was a Barney book! I tell you, I was Barney lover as a kid, but dont think I was as INLOVE as Julian is! He calls for "ba-neyy" there is no "R". I want to pay someone to come visit in him a Barney costume.. I really think Julian would love it.

After our busy, but very fun day in town we got home & I begun to pickup around the house and get him ready to start calming down for the night. HA.. he was not having it. Tabatha made me a build a bear for xmas, and I had put some things from in the car in the box to carry back upstairs. after empting it, he pulled it off the kitchen table and of course the first thing he did with it was put it on his head. LMAO.. it was so funny. he would look through this one window to navigate around the living room, but did bump a few walls in the process.. hahahaha. I dont know how many people can say they say a BUILD A BEAR BOX WITH LEGG? But I sure can! :) lol

Julian is starting to look JUST like his daddy, & def. got the humor danford trait as well! man, I dont know how I'll ever love our second child, and third(if there is a third) as much as i love him! he is my entire world!!

little lefty

today seemed to be such a long day- Cold & rainy out side & mommy was swamped with last minute school work to tend to.
I have been paying close attention to which hand Julian uses the most, because I have started to REALLY focus on getting him to use his forks and spoons & I unsure of which hand to have him hold them with. I noticed a while back he used his left the most, and the last few days def. confirmed that Julian indeed takes after both his Maw maw's- He is a lefty!!!

I laughed as i gave Julian his bath tonight... Josh usually is the one who does "bath" but since he's gone obivously its mine. the last few nights Julian lines his bath toys up just like this, but not always in the same order. Tonight he only kept the ones he was playing with in the water.. LMAO. i was like.. okay excuseeeee me! Poor thing, hope this isn't OCD like me! lol

hes too funny! :P
