After Bath Madness

Dad gave me a bath and styled my hair.

My bath makes me a bit hyper!

Check out my moves...

Surfin' in the kitchen...

Nika, play with me!!

Fine, I'll play on my own!

The wild man cannot be contained!

He also can't keep that pace up for long.

Good thing, because neither can Mom or Dad.

Jungle Gym

Or is it a dining room table? Depends on your point of view.

Happy Birthday!!

*January 3rd, 2010*

Julian celebrates his first birthday.

And his first taste of birthday frosting.

Nika helps her little brother open up his first birthday gifts.

Mr. Mobile

*January 2010*

Julian is walking now!

Mom and Dad have invoked the prevent defense full-time.

Prevent Julian from opening this, prevent Julian from grabbing that...potato?

Christmas Hangover

*Christmas Morning 2009*

New toys!

All that fun eventually leads to an...

..excitement overload.

First Christmas

*December 2009*
Santa's little helper is pretty excited about his first Christmas.

Presents!

Can I open this now?

Monkey Man

*October 2009*
Knowing how to stand up doesn't mean just simply standing there!

A New Face

*October 2009*
'Uncle' Ben meets Julian for the first time.

Julian wants Ben to live closer. So does his dad.

Halloween!

*October 2009*
Mom, I want to be a cowboy for Halloween!

But mom had other plans...
His nickname is 'Punkin-Man' after all. (No one knows why dad started calling him this.)

Hard to tell the real Pumpkins from the punkin'!

Well, one of us was excited to check out the giant pumpkins.

Mother and Son

*September 2009*
Mom with Julian after giving him a bath.

And mom teaching Julian how to give kisses.

Or is it the other way around?

Real Food

*Sept 2009*

With the addition of a few front teeth, the majority of
Julian's diet comes from solid foods. Well, maybe not this solid.

A Boy and his Dog

*September 2009)
Julian is rediscovering Nika. As jealous as Nika probably is of the attention that Julian is taking away from her, she is always very gentle with Julian and pretty much lets him do what he wants.

Despite how it looks, this is not a picture of Nika about to eat Julian's ear, but rather she's snuggling up to him. Really.
Please do not call CPS.

Standing Tall

*September 2009*
Where has the time gone? While we have been falling behind on posting photos, we have still been taking lots of them. When last we left off, Julian was just starting pull himself up and stand on his own. Here's proof! Julian seems to be pretty proud of his new-found ability to stand up.

Clothing optional.
