  • Julia Loves WordWorld

    There is a show on PBS called WordWorld that Julia goes absolutely nuts over. At the mere mention of WordWorld, she starts repeating it over and over, and wants to watch it immediately. This video shows one of her more muted reactions.

  • It’s Another Video Week!

    It’s been a while since I last put up a batch of videos. So let’s start another round this week.

  • Upgrade to WP 2.5

    After not upgrading any of the software on this blog in quite some time, I’ve taken the plunge and upgraded from 2.1.3 to 2.5. I was planning on upgrading to 2.3.3, but as soon as I finished that, there was a note that 2.5 was out.

    So you shouldn’t see anything different, but I’ll probably handle the pictures and maybe videos a little bit differently now.

  • Happy Pi Day!

    Forgot to mention this earlier in the day, but have a happy Pi day!

    Don’t know what Pi day is? For shame… (You can check out Wikipedia though.)

  • Conversations with Julia

    We’re all at the table, eating breakfast. Julia has finished up a minute ago.
    Julia: Down! Down!
    Me: Don’t you want to stay at the table and talk to Mommy and Daddy?
    Julia (looking up with an extremely serious look): …No.

    Needless to say, I got Julia down from the table.

  • Picture Gallery #33

    Here are some more pictures taken around Julia’s second birthday. She discovered that markers are for drawing on more than just paper. I went to get Kaitlyn from a nap, and Sharon was doing dishes, and this is how we discovered Julia. So I took Julia into the bathroom to show her what her face looked like. I was hoping that would scare her – but no, instead, she loved it.

  • Julia, Singing, Part #4

    (I don’t know if it’s really #4, but a look back reveals a few videos of Julia singing.)

    Here is another video of Julia singing. She’s really belting it out on this one. She starts by singing behind her little block wall, then walks around it, knocks the wall down, and then keeps on singing. After I was done with this video, I let Julia watch it. She absolutely loved it, and wanted to watch it a few more times.

    Look for the video after the jump.

  • Picture Gallery #32

    Some of these pictures were taken around Julia’s birthday. One of Julia’s main presents was the table you see below. She loves it. We also got a fake birthday cake too – so Julia plays hostess and serves everyone a piece of cake. It’s quite funny to see her playing make believe.

  • Eating Cake

    Continuing on from yesterday’s post about Julia’s birthday… She really did not want to eat the cake. I guess she had something against eating her favorite Muppet? Who knew?

    Look for the video after the jump.

  • Julia’s 2nd Birthday

    I wasn’t home when Julia turned 2 last week when I was in Australia (I know, bad Daddy!), so we ended up celebrating last weekend. Sharon and Susan did quite the impressive job making an Elmo cake, and Julia was more than happy to be the center of attention.

    Blowing out the candle only once wasn’t enough for Julia – no, she had to do it twice. (Maybe she had a little help on that second attempt.)

    Look for the video after the jump.
