Somethings New

I got the sweetest phone call from Cailin and Conall today to thank me for the blankets that we sent them for their birthdays and Christmas.  I am glad they called, James thought they were towels.  Bless his heart, gotta love him.  I had them monogrammed by Doodle Designs, thanks Robin and Mandi they looked great. 

The sweet little girl is snoozing soundly so I thought I would give a few, "What is Juliet doing now?"

First of all she wants to get in her car seat by herself now.  She will crawl into it and turn herself around.  She almost has it figured out how to get her arms in and can help buckle the top clip when you guide it for her.  The extra car seat has been put in a chair because she will climb into it and sit then try to get out and almost does a face plant on the ceramic tile.  Boy wouldn't that make cute vacation pics, a busted nose and lip.  Her favorite thing now is to ride on our shoulders.  No matter what the mood, she always laughs when she is up there.  This will come in handy for beach walks.

Santa brought her mega blocks for Christmas.  She likes for you to put them in a pile in front of her so she can run her hands through them and scatter them everywhere.  Speaking of scattering, at school she and the other kids scatter the books out of the toy box they are usually in and then take turns getting into the box and using it as a boat.  I saw a little boy do it and the teacher told me they all do it.  Little monkeys!!

We are still working on words, although she seems to be happy with Mama and Dada although other people say she talks more and her teachers say she signs.  Not happening at home.  Although we are working hard on up and she has the uh part down well.

Juliet got new sandals for our trip, thanks Meme, they are just precious!

I am guessing next post will be from Maui!

Love to all!
