Big School Girl
This collection captures Julianna waiting for school to start. We have 5-10 minutes each morning which are filled with all kinds of exploring or as many fun activities as you can do standing in line with 20+ parents and kids. We enjoy such activities as ring-a-round-the-daddy where Julianna holds my hand and we spin around in circles or the dance around in place and show the other parents and children how excited we are about school! WOOHOO! Julianna also loves looking at the babies that are in line in addition to making new friends from other class rooms while goofing around. The other pictures capture Julianna doing what she loves which is outside time with the watering can, coloring, and a shot of Julianna fresh from a nap.

Tug Bug
One of our methods for potty time is reading a book while we wait. We also like to take 'Selfie' pictures where we turn the iphone camera around and can see ourselves in the screen before taking. We also like playing with playdoh and making 'cakes' from all the colors. And of course pretty much anything having to do with water if fun and wondrous.

Return of the Big Hair
This collection of photo's capture Julianna in action. Julianna has graduated from picking the straws to taking the box and fishing one out, playing in the driveway splashing the puddles, exploring crayon's and coloring, covering her face in shame as Papa sings, bath time hair, sun glasses are the new fun item to play with, getting close with the tricycle, and has a new love of teddy bears.
-
- Julianna can now hold the box and pick the straw without dropping either, an important skill as you would imagine.

Keep on Sliding!
This collection of photo's catches Julianna in some of her favorite activities. She loves playing with sun glasses, running in the rain, letting her little people slide down the slide, hula's, and playing the drums. First time using the umbrella though it was more a novelty of holding it more than anything. Also working the slide action with her little people and wrapping up the post with some awesome drumming.

Fly Girl
We are not on a flight path but from time to time will get a flight fly over the house. Julianna loves to find the plane in the sky, point, and wave at the plane that fly by all the while saying 'hey...hey'. The next four shots capture Julianna playing with her Hula's which we pull out every time we play outside at the play set. For shot #6 we treated Julianna to watermelon slices which we stripped her down for, it gets everywhere! It was fresh and tasted great. Put a shot in from our morning sippy cup lessons and a shot of Julianna's favorite sandals. We finish out the set with Julianna enjoying some fresh melon. She has had this fruit before but never on the rind.

Sweet Summer Fun
The first shot captures Julianna coming back from Salsa Fresh from Lunch drinking her lemonade. Papa spoils her by letting her keep the cup. Julianna still has the habit of turning up the cup when it gets to the bottom. The second shot is of Julianna fresh from a nap, smiling, and waiting to be picked up out of her crib. Picture 3 and 4 capture some work we have been doing to get Julianna used to drinking out of a cup by using a 3 ounce cup with 2 ounces of liquid. So far so good! The shot of the tub is sans bubbles as the all natural soap we were using doesn't produce bubbles...but it does produce amazing skin. We have gone back to our previous soap...NEED THOSE BUBBLES! We then round out the post with two shots of Julianna drinking her morning OJ and the last shot is Julianna running back to the house with her hair swishing about. Frannie is such a good sport for working with her and the leash.
