January 22 - Curious George & The Pig

You know my daughter who doesn't really like tv that much or sweets? She's a thing of the past it seems. Over the last few weeks Julia has taken quite an interest in cartoons (as well as football, no joke). We definitely limit her tv time and she has a few new favorite shows. She is all about 'Curious George' (mommy-Curious George is making a messy!) and just this week 'the pig' (which is 'Olivia'). She can actually follow the story lines now and has commentary whiles she is watching. It is very cute.

Julia is still an avid reader (there are probably 10 books on her bed at all times) and her current favorites are the Pinkalicious books, Tinka (dog books) and Frosty the Snowman. I'm not joking when I say I've probably sang 'Frosty' a couple hundred times over the last month. Grandpa got her the book for her first Christmas and I'm glad she is enjoying it.

In other fun news, Julia best friend, Emma, had her 3rd birthday party at The Jumping Jungle last weekend. The Jumping Jungle is a bouncy house place where each party has it's own room with about 4 inflatable bouncy things. It was a ton of fun! There were a lot of kids and everyone had a great time. Julia already told us she wants her 3rd birthday party there.

Luke is doing great-he's been rolling over the last few days and is just a smiley little man. He is doing much better sleeping in his crib and doesn't need to be held so much. He's still super snugly too!

OH-GREAT news. Amelia has lost 5 lbs!!!! Woo hoo!! She's been overweight for awhile (she's technically still a little larger than most female labs but she's big boned). However, she does have a wart thing on her back leg that we are getting removed and biopsied so keep your fingers crossed that it is just a benign growth.

As for me, I am absolutely invigorated by the cold weather we've been experiencing, while my warm blooded hubby continues to look forward to spring. I'm also psyched because I have a book club meeting tonight-I'm looking forward to meeting new women in town and this will be my first night "out" since I had Luke. Granted, he'll be going with me, but I'll still be out of the house after 6pm. Exciting!

Well-time to get ready for gymnastics with my little bean. Have a fabulous Saturday everyone!
