julian loves BIG trucks

my little boy is definitely a boy. he LOVE LOVE LOVES big trucks. and he is totally into his Big Truck Book. he reads in in the car and usually all I can see in the mirror is the back of this damn book. he even cuddles with it:he also loves soft blankets. this probably comes from all the homemade blanket that Grammy has made for him! here he is with his new orangutan friend/blanket:

We have been living with Julian's stomach bug for going on five days now. I've been puked on more times than I can count. I can't count the number of diarrhea diapers I've changed either.

There is one thing I can count: the number of times Julian had diarrhea while we were in the bathtub together. One. Just the one time. What a good baby.

we had a park photo shoot today

we are totally getting ready for Halloween over here. Julian wasn't too pleased to try on his pirate costume, but mommy loved it! now if we can just keep that hat on straight!

crying whenever I tell him no!

No, don't throw Mommy's cell phone on the kitchen floor.
(tears)

No, don't rip the fur off the babysitter's dog.
(tears)

No, don't pull up my shirt to fondle my belly in public.
(tears)

my kid is so dramatic. I wonder where he gets it?

i can't believe it and i never thought it would be possible, but julian has made it one year. we had a perfect pirate party over the weekend.
