Julien will be 4 months on Thursday!

       Sitting in his chair wondering how he can help cook
First time in the pack and play...he is thinking he is not big enough yet
Playing with his lion
Can we say teething???
Learning how to fold laundry...

How time has flown, I feel like I was just in labor not to long ago! Julien is becoming an interactive human and it is amazing to watch. He is rolling over from his belly to his back, every time he looks a little less surprised that he did it but still wants all the praise for being able to do it. He sits in his chair in the kitchen and watches me cook breakfast, lunch or dinner and naws on his toy that holds a strawberry in it. Usually he ends up with strawberry juice all over him. This is starting to ruin his outfits so I put a large bib on him but he still manages to get the juice all over him. This week we are going to try grapes to see if we can keep the stained clothes to a minimum. He is starting to laugh out loud a lot more and talk up a storm in his baby language. It is mostly a lot of grunting, mixed with what I will assume is some form of "Mom, I have a story to tell you...". He had his first baby sitter on Saturday. Mom was a wreck when we left but it was only for 3 1/2 hours and we were home by 9:30 pm. Thank goodness because he would not go to sleep for poor Carole. Every time she laid him down he was having none of it! Mom had to come save the day. It is nice to feel so needed. We met up with Kate and Xander at Birch Run on Thursday, luckily it was a nice sunny day and good day to walk around. Kate looks great and Xander is as cute as ever! Pretty soon Kate will have two little Yoder's to bring for visits!
