Bubble Generator

We got a bubble generator a few weeks ago - very simple contraption - dump bubble solution in tray, wands on a rotating wheel dip into the solution and a fan blows the bubbles. Juliana is very interested in bubbles, so this was an instant hit!

Shortalls

She looked so cute in her "shortalls" this morning; I thought that I would take a few quick pictures before school. Apparently she didn't want her picture taken, because this is the response that I received.



















Words - she is learning words faster than I can keep track. This morning I thought she was saying truck, but she had her arm stuck in one of her toys - she was telling me that she was STUCK. I am amazed at her comprehension of the new words - she isn't just repeating them, she actually knows what they mean. Some of her current favorites are open and closed and buckle.

Sunday Morning

All ready for church - just watching a little Sesame Street and kicking her feet before it is time to go and while mommy is getting ready.

Trip to Erie

On June 1st we drove to Erie for a wedding. It was Juliana's first overnight stay away from home. We drove up during the afternoon on Friday - Juliana napped some of the way and played with some new car toys the rest of the trip. We checked into the hotel - my parents arrived a few minutes before us so they helped unpack the Jeep. We decided that Juliana would sleep in their room that night and set up her pack-and-play for later.

We went to my Grandmother's house for a short visit and then back to the hotel. We were staying near the mall, so we went for a walk and then fed Juliana her dinner at the hotel. We went through the bedtime routine including bathtime and then put her in her sleepsack and the pack-and-play and she went right to sleep - such a good little sleeper!

Saturday we were all up bright and early. Mom and I took Juliana over to Grandma's house for another visit and then a trip to the mall where we bought her Happy Meal. Then it was back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. We all drove separately and Juliana was so sleepy that we drove around for a while so she could get a 20-min nap.


Once inside we sat in the back while the rest of the family went to the front of the church. Juliana was waving and calling "Nonni" when she spotted them. Soon after the ceremony started, Scott had to take her out of the church because she was being so loud.

After the ceremony, there was a receiving line outside and everyone had bubbles - Juliana had a great time trying to catch the bubbles.


There was a break between the wedding and reception, so we took a drive to the Lake, stopped for Gelato (so yummy!) and then went to the cemetary.

When we got to the reception, Juliana started running everywhere. Took to the empty dance floor and danced, lounged on the floor and ran around. She was getting really tired so we didn't stay long.

We hit the highway and stopped at the first rest stop to change out of the wedding attire and drive the rest of the way home. Juliana fell asleep shortly after our stop, slept the whole way home and barely woke up when we took her into the house and up to her crib.

First Happy Meal

We had a busy morning before the wedding, so we picked up a happy meal for Juliana. 4 chicken nuggets, apple slices and milk. And it came with a Shrek toy that burps and talks... She is lounging on the bed in the hotel room enjoying some of my french fries.
