The Keep Away Kid
Every week we finish off an orange juice and start a ritual of giving the bottle to the Boston's to play with. It's 10 times the size of the bottles they are used to playing with, soda and water bottles, so it is especially fun to watch them wrestle this oversized plastic bottle. Julianna has joined in with the fun as she has matured her motor skills. For this video we put Frannie up as she can be a little too competitive and let Lulu and Julianna play a game of Keep Away with the container top. It might at times look like the dog is going to eat her fingers but I can assure you both Boston's have a tender touch. Highlights of the video are when Julianna offers the top to Lulu and then takes it away (1:15ish) but Lulu has a chance to show off her keen skills off keep away later on.

Play it again Sam
Julianna has figured out how the buttons on her electronic toys work and has mastered using them to get the tunes she enjoys to play. And not only has she mastered how to manipulate the device but also remembers which buttons play what. We also have a bigger Fisher Price play workstation station that has at least 20 buttons and Julianna knows which button plays a particular song she likes and so we hear the same song...a lot.
So in this example she has a little toy that plays different music depending on the button. In the 3rd sequence is where Julianna really displays her skill as she tries to get up, presses random buttons, and quickly gets her 'favorite' back up and playing.

Cereal Drive By
Julianna loves to have some of my cereal in the morning. When I try make her some of her own...not interested. It has to be from my bowl. So this video is from my SLR sitting on the breakfast table with Julianna doing cereal drive by's.
We have also added a 'Video' tag for easy searching and viewing of all the Video posts. Just click on the word 'Video' below the video.

Walking in the rain.
Julianna loves bath time and water in general. She had a great time at the beach and in the pool and with the recent monsoon like rains we have been receiving recently in NC our driveway has developed little puddles of water which Julianna loves to use for splashing her feet through. This 2 minute video not only captures Julianna's happy fun rain time but also is a good demonstration of Julianna's new walking abilities.

A Celebration of Life
Below is a link to the video we created for Julianna. We played it for all of our guests at her birthday party. Enjoy!
Julianna’s Giant Steps
This is a short video of Julianna walking to her papa. It was not her her first steps but she has only been doing this for a couple of days and this video does capture one of her longest trek's yet.
Julianna was in a great mood and had already done a couple of 'walks' when I stood her up, went in the other room for the camera, came back, and she was still just standing there patiently. It's hard to sometimes capture moments like these, it was great getting the chance.
