More Words

Julia's vocabulary has been growing quickly. She greets Daddy with "Dada" and Mommy with "Mama" in the morning. This weekend, she correctly said "book", "cat", "dog", "up", "down", "Alex", "more", and signed "please" a few times.

Here is a picture of a pretty curl in Julia's hair. We took this picture in case this is the last of the curls for a while (forever?). Julia usually gets excited about whatever Alex does. Below is a cute video of Julia thinking about using the potty like Alex. She has been carrying it around the house and sitting on it all weekend.






Alex was really excited this weekend for the sequel to the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We read Pickles to Pittsburgh three times and talked about it for hours. It was very interesting to think about the big food, especially the chocolate ice cream!


Also this weekend, Alex and Julia met two tigers who are brothers at the Cougar Mountain Zoo and the zookeeper gave them a special show. Alex's friend Nathan came over to play and make Elmo faces (see Elmo in the picture). Unfortunately, Nathan is moving a few blocks away this week. We hope he still comes over to play frequently!
