Hangin' with Nika

Nika is great with Julian and more patient than I would be if my paws were constantly being grabbed at. Julian is finally learning the art of petting the dog rather than pulling on her ears or treating her like a jungle gym. They follow each other around and are becoming great friends. (Sorry Mr. Monkey*)

First Hair Cut

Julian was starting to look like an old man with a bad comb over. Time to get those golden locks trimmed up.

Hmm... Not too sure about this.
What are you planning to do with those, Gail?

It was a little traumatic...(or should I say dramatic?)

So many tears for such a small amount of hair!

Piece of cake. And I've still got more hair than dad!

One of These Things is Not Like the Others...

High-Five!

Julian has perfected the art of waving and high-fiving.
It's a good skill to have.

This is fun, right?

Learning to Climb

Julian has been trying to climb up things for the last couple of months. He loves climbing up on the couch and throwing the cushions off. Although, he still needs a bit of a boost to get up there.

Cheap Toys

Who knew tupperware could be so much fun?

Boy in a Box

When he was a bit smaller, Julian loved crawling inside this cardboard box. Although we finally had to retire it, as he got bigger he loved being pushed around the house by dad while he stood up through the whole cut in the top.

Dad's sore back didn't enjoy the ride nearly as much as Julian did.

Hey, Mr. Bassman!

Possible future musician in the house? Good thing, as daddy can't play all of these intruments by himself.

Dad always has a couple of guitars sitting out and when permitted, Julian loves to 'play' them.
Don't worry, kid. Dad as at least one put aside for you for when you get a bit older.
