Taking After His Dad

Wait until he's old enough to discover the closet full of guitars...

A Visit From The Barry's

Making New Friends

Strong Hands! (and Appetite)

His grip is amazingly strong. I can actually pull him up to his feet by his hands now. Pretty soon he'll be opening the fridge and going for the real food.

Pics Way Overdue

Sorry for such a lag in the postings. Dad is now staying at home with Julian until he enters day care on June 1st, and although pictures of the J-man are still being taken, Mom and Dad have become a bit lax in sharing them with others. So with that in mind, here come a few photo updates...

Bath time!



After a bath, he's set for a night on the town. Julian cleans up nicely!

Really smiling, at last!

After over two months of stony stares, the evil eye and general looks of confusion (the meaning of which we were somehow supposed to interpret as either "feed me", "cuddle me", "change me", "burp me", "play with me", or "I'm ready for bed") we are happy to announce Julian has begun to smile - that is, really smile, while looking right at us, and on command (versus merely smiling in his dreams, while passing gas, or at inanimate objects). In any case, here he is just waking from a nap, looking happy and rested.

Playtime in the activity gym

Here Julian is seen playing with his new friend, Mr. Monkey. He is often heard cooing and smiling coyly at his 3-inch fuzzy friend, but occasionally he will get crabby and needs to be reminded to “play nice”. Either way, he has assured us that Mr. Monkey is his BFF.
