Julien's first word: night-night. 

Julien has finally decided that he likes to walk!  He's still a little wobbly but he definitely prefers walking over crawling as of today.

Out with Alexis on Osbourne: Bangkok Thai Restaurant and Starbucks.

Amazing Lettuce Wraps!

Peppermint Hot Chocolates and Red Velvet Whoopie Pies (also amazing!).

A couple of my favourite kiddie activities:

Reading.  This was when the house was oh, so quiet earlier this morning.  Julien was napping and Milan and I were reading independently.  All you could hear were the sounds of her opening the flaps of her peek-a-boo counting book, the occasional car outside, and the pages of my novel being turned.     

Music time.  The kids and I often fight over the rainbow xylophone.  My favourite songs to play on it are from The Sound of Music but Milan often requests The A.B.C. song.  We also have a mini baby grand piano that the children love to play.     

He's left-handed!

Milan and her Mini Mouse balloon were inseparable for 2 days until we found it one morning more than half deflated and on the ground.  Before throwing it out, James inhaled the last bit of helium left and asked Milan funny questions in the classic chipmunk-y voice. She loved it.

Emily's 2nd birthday party:

"Happy Feet 2" and Pizza Hut!
