Papa’s Pics
Julianna continues to amaze with how quickly she picks things up (relative to her age of course). She has 5-6 stuffed animals that she has learned to pick up by name. Couches...she has masterd climbing up and sitting on those with the added bonus of not bouncing off. Balance is something she is very aware of in walking, climbing and sitting. Last weekend we were able to send her down the small playground slide and she was able to keep her balance all the way down. Door handles, she knows how to turn those but surprisingly has done well not going crazy opening all doors. Julianna loves getting on her shoes and going outside. The first thing she does is pick up a couple of nuts that have fallen off the tree's (not her parents who feel nuts) and hold those while she walks up and down the sidewalk and driveway. You can see this in one of the pictures in the posting. We have taught her how to sit and go down stairs backwards which she is still mastering but is getting better at each day. She is still working on feeding herself and she has made this an important part of her growing independence. Gone are the days of sitting and feeding her by spoon so we focus on food she can eat by hand though she can feed herself with a spoon and yogurt with a little help. Julianna has an incredible amount of energy and is a very excited and happy baby...now toddler. We are excited each day to see and experience her growth and help her learn and explore.
These are some various pictures from the past couple weeks, enjoy!

**Correction: “(not her parents who ARE nuts)” Well, at least Chandra. 🙂 I really like the shadow picture! Sweet little summary on what she has learned recently!
