A Yummy Cupcake

At least the frosting was yummy and you made an effort to get every bit of it off your face!

Not Even Daddy's Shoes are Safe

Growing Up so Fast

Juliana looked so suddenly grown up in this outfit (and super cute as well)! She went on an outing with Daddy and I thought that they looked so sweet together.

A Fall from the Crib

Juliana seemed very tired for her nap yesterday, but once she was in crib she didn't go to sleep. We went up several times to calm her down and she would lie down and we would think that she was going to sleep. Scott and I were watching the Steelers game when we heard a loud thud from Juliana's room. I knew instantly that she has fallen (climbed, jumped, etc.) from her crib.

We ran upstairs and found her on the floor crying. She quickly developed a bump on her forehead and the right side of her face was red. Once she calmed down from the scare, she was fine. she never did nap.

Since we don't feel that she is ready to move from the crib to a bed yet, we decided to get a crib tent and installed that last night before bed. She liked the idea of it - she called it a rainbow - the arched shape and since the "color" of the month for August at daycare was rainbow she liked that.

However, this morning when she realized that she was trapped and unable to throw her blanket, teddy bear, etc. out of her crib, she was not so happy. She wanted the tent "OPEN" as soon as I walked in her room.

More Shoppin Purses

This morning as we were about to leave the house, Juliana announced that she needed her shoppin purse - I grabbed a small purple one and then she spotted her favorite black purse and insisted on both. She put one on each shoulder and headed for the front door grabbing her purple floppy hat on the way outside.

In other news, the monthly letter and calendar for the Toddler room came home today. They have decided to temporarily suspend the monthy "sharing day". Do we think this is Juliana's doing...

Her favorite color continues to be yellow, but purple is being requested more and more. The last 2 days she has requested purple clothes to wear...I thought that I had more time before she wanted a say in what she was wearing.

Visting Nana and Papa

We went to visit Scott's parents today and wish Happy Birthday to Nana. Juliana was anxious to get there so that she could have a cupcake. She helped Papa fill the bird feeder and had lots of fun running around the yard. I was able to catch her in one quiet moment, but only long enough for me to get one picture before she took off running again.

Learning to Play Mommy and Daddy

Juliana was eating a little ice cream after dinner and when she finished, she asked Scott for more since he was in the kitchen with her. He told her no more. So she yelled for me and said - Mommy, more ice cream.

She is already learning that if one parent says no, you can always ask the other one...

She will finally eat a few bites of sandwich - here she is eating grilled cheese last week.
