I am realizing that I am becoming a 'lazy' blogger. I would rather post some quick photos and video rather that actually sitting down and writing interesting things about our lives. I guess that aside from the weird idiosyncrasies of Alex and Julia, I truly believe that our lives are pretty 'normal.' So, because Mommy and Daddy are so boring, I will again use this time to tell all the funnies of the kids lately!
I'll start with Julia today since she has been doing more and more funny things recently...She is just a short time away from turning 2 now! I really don't know where the time has gone. Julia is really turning into a little girl now...She is saying more and more words and is expressing herself in all kinds of interesting ways. Some interesting recent stories...
1) Julia went to her first wedding a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it!! She seemed to know what exactly she was supposed to do...and that was dance!! At times I felt bad for Jackie and Cody because it seemed as though Julia was bound and determined to steal their spotlight. Julia was even trying to pull me on the dance floor during their first dance!! Julia danced the night away and I had to pull her off the dance floor at 8:30 (which, if you know Julia, is a late night :) so she could go home to bed. Her moves were great...a little shake of the booty here...and there, but mostly just falling to the dance floor. Somehow, she has gotten the impression that falling to the ground is a fancy dance move!
2) Julia has developed her very own fashion style. It mostly involves wearing anything with 'Rella' (Cinderella) on it. Unfortunately, since she has no 'Rella' clothing, this means wearing her 'Rella' PJs and snowboots 24-7. Hopefully, this choosiness stage will soon pass...but, I doubt it. She has just recently decided that she must go through all the diapers before choosing which one she will wear..."Big Bird, Melmo, Cookie, Grover, Ernie....Mommy-Cookie!" "No, Mommy...Melmo!" Good Grief, Julia...just pick one already!!
3) Julia has opened my eyes greatly to the difference between boys and girls. I really used to believe that there wasn't much difference, but now that I have had both a boy and a girl, I can see that there actually is much more nature behind this difference rather than nurture. Julia mimics everything I do (which is scaring me a little...she is getting a little bossy and I think she is getting it from me :)--bossy- in the sense that she calls you and acts as though you are a dog by patting her leg as she beckons you-kind of bossy). She is loving and compassionate with her babies and nothing brings her more joy than giving them rides around the downstairs and basement in their strollers. She is so sensitive to everyone's needs...Julia has earned the nickname "Nurse Julia," because she is always taking care of everyone's boo-boos with ice packs and band-aids. She even likes to play hostess when we have guests...serving the punch at the spooky lunch, sitting with the ladies while the boys played tonight while stirring Mommy's hot chocolate, and showing everyone where the light switches are! I could go on and on!!
4) Julia is a cookie monster!! If she comes over to your house, I highly suggest that you hide your cookies!! She knows where to look...the freezer, the pantry, the cookie jar...you had better come up with a creative hiding place if she heads your way! :)
I hope that Julia has brought a smile to you today with her happenings recently...Stay tuned to hear about some of Alex recent funnies...
