We just made the discovery that Julian is a real kid now. Last night, he was playing on his mat on the living room floor, and before we noticed, he had rolled and squirmed 4 feet away and he unplugged the t.v. Colin had to tell him "no, no" for the first time! Right now, we're sitting around the table this morning, playing with Play-Doh, and Julian is sitting in his Bumbo seat in the middle of the table. He is wreaking havoc by reaching as far as he can and knocking things off the table. He just picked up a full box of Play-Doh toys and dumped them off the table and onto the floor..... I think this means he is almost as much trouble as the big one is now!
The two are in cahoots now anyhow, so we should have been expecting this. Julian worships Niko and watches his every move. He plays with Niko's trucks and cars whenever they are within arm's reach. Niko woke up Julian up the other morning while I was getting ready for work and thought it was hysterical. Julian thought it was funny too. I found Niko standing on the edge of the crib laughing and Julian was just laughing back at him.

In the Swing of Things
I cannot believe summer is coming to an end!! Last week I started back to work and Julian went to daycare for the first time. On the same day, Nikolai started at a new daycare. . . so many changes! Nikolai is getting used to the new daycare, and seems to like the new playground and his new teachers. Julian is at Niko's old daycare, and the teachers seem to enjoy him so much that I think they should be paying me to take care of him during the day! He is so mellow and smiles so much that he is a joy to hold and cuddle. Yesterday Colin gave Julian and Nikolai a bath together and they just smiled at each other the whole time. Nikolai is so careful around Julian and brings him toys and gives him kisses all the time. As Julian gets more social, Nikolai gets more and more interested. The highlight of our day today was Nikolai making Colin and I march around the house singing the Elephant Bridgade song from the Jungle Book, complete with elephant noises and swinging arms for trunks. Today Uncle John goes to Ireland to complete his MBA at the National University of Ireland and Galloway. . . Colin and I are hoping to get a chance to visit him this spring. Lots of family and friends met for a bbq on Saturday to see him off and Nikolai and Julian had lots of fun with cousins Rome, JJ, Tessa & John Paul... Niko ran around in the backyard and Julian got held by everyone. Good luck John!

Julian - Week 3
Julian wasn't happy about getting having his clothes taken off, he got in a better mood once Sarah put an outfit back on him. She did her best "Glamor Shots" of the kid, I think they turned out pretty good.
