I've been looking for an Elmo for Julia for a little while but could never find one I liked. I just wanted a stuffed animal Elmo and not Tickle Me Elmo or one that danced but one she could take with her to sleep that looked like Elmo (some of them don't look good). I looked at Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, and a few other places. When talking with my mom she said Lord & Taylor had a huge Sesame Street section so Grandma was now on the hunt for the perfect Elmo. When Julia got up from her nap on Friday the package with Elmo arrived and was waiting for her. Julia was so excited when she opened it and she's been playing with Elmo ever since. 
Does she look happy or what? Thanks Grandma for finding the perfect Elmo for Julia...she loves it!
Julia is all clean and ready for some stories and then bedtime. I wanted to be sure I got her showing her muscles on tape so I ran down and got the camcorder and she preformed - sometimes when I take it out she doesn't do anything. She does a great job of saying 'by' too. Enjoy it!
On our way back from the park on Sunday Julia enjoyed playing with my sunglasses. She kept putting them on and taking them off. She's just so much fun to be around! Last night before bed she gave me a kiss on one cheek and then turned my head and gave me a kiss on the other cheek and turned my head and kept doing it over and over. It was the best and it just melted my heart - she's such a little love bug. She's saying more words nowadays such as 'please, cheese, tree, shoes, hi, bye, and of course dada but not much mama' but I'm sure that will come. I just can't tell everyone enough how much fun she is and I love being able to stay home with her rather than only seeing her for a few hours a day. Thanks Thomas! :)
Here's little love bug having a meltdown because she couldn't have anymore goldfish. We were about to eat dinner and she didn't like being told 'no more' so this was her reaction. We recognized it was part our fault since we were having dinner an hour later than normal. She just lied on the floor and cried for a little while and then when it was time to eat dinner she wanted nothing to do with it - I guess she told us! Although, I must say she still looks cute as ever even when she's having a meltdown. It's not easy being told 'no more' when it comes to goldfish - Julia just loves them...especially the Parmesan ones.
Here's a video I took of Julia back in July of her walking backwards. I've been having so much trouble getting videos to upload so I just forgot about it. I looked at it again today and figured it out. I hope you enjoy watching little love bug walking backwards...it's so cute! She thinks it's so funny and just smiles.
Lately we've been finding lots of acorns in our backyard so we decided to collect them. Julia finds a ton by the playground so we put them in the bucket so they wouldn't get lost. You can see her cute new shoes she just got - they're a little big so they should fit for a while. 
Julia uses her muscles so she can carry the bucket of acorns, it's kinda heavy!
Showing mommy the prettiest acorn in her collection.

The playground is finally done. The whole process took a while from picking out the playground to having our lot graded so we'd have a flat area to put it and then putting it together. We're all excited about it and last night was the first night Julia got to play on it! I'm sure we'll be spending lots of time out there as the weather gets a little cooler. Right now we only use it after dinner since it's so hot. 
Up in the fort. I must say it's a pretty nice fort with lots of room to play. 
She's not sure she wants to go down the slide. She thought it was funny when Daddy and I went down the slide. 
Not quite big enough for the swings that came with the playground. It's a good thing we have her bucket swing.
