Fourth Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Baby! From four years ago...

Here are some words that Julia can say or, more accurately, has a verbal representation of: book, potty, bath tub, duckie, blankie, socks, shoes, more, please (peas), yogurt (go-gur), cheese, cheers, bib, eat, teeth, hair, eyes, head, trash, vacuum, doggie, Max, Daddy, Maw Maw, Judy (Jew-ie), Aunt Betsy, Andy, Vicki, button, buckle (guckle or guk-guk), glasses, and there are probably a few more that I am missing.

She knows quite a few more words, but does not vocally say them yet. She knows her ears, nose, belly, toes, feet, arms, hands, and fingers. She knows who all of her aunts and uncles are, but does not say everyone's name yet. Same goes for her grandparents. She sometimes says Mom or Mama, but more or less just points or makes a noise.

She knows her schedules / routines. Like for bedtime, she knows that we go upstairs and brush her teeth, change into pajamas, read a book, rock in the glider, and sing, then it is bed time. Then when we do baths there is a whole addition of another routine included with bedtime. She knows her feeding Max routine too. She loves that (chore) responsibility.

More about Julia later. And everyone cross your fingers that I gained weight this time around for my doctors appointment this evening.
