Well,it finally happened… Julia now uses the word “no,” often. Just yesterday she said it to me for the first time, and then proceeded to all day. Mostly to do with getting dressed, as she is in the “I’d rather just be in a diaper phase”. Thankfully she is not shouting it out, she just replies “no” and then continues on with her business. Hopefully, someday, her and my business will be the same and then she will shout “yes!”. Julia is also using the word “up” more frequently and appropriately now. She has been using it for months (literally, it was her first word) in relation to her toys, but never for herself, as she preferred to groan or whine to indicate that she needed up. However, these past few days she has been saying “up” when she needs an increase in elevation, and thus, there has been less whining in our house!

Christmas has come and gone, and in the process we took a lot of photos! Mom has posted up a sample (a large sample at that) for your viewing pleasure, so enjoy! As for the goings on of the holidays, let’s just say that it was very fun, I was very spoiled, and next week is sure going to be tough going back into the new routine! Oh, and as I may have mentioned before, I got a bed! And a dresser too! My room sure is nice now. Anyhow, take a look at the photos, and I will write some more stories soon.
