We took our first trip to the Denver Aquarium and Julian LOVED it! Every display was met with 'WOW WOW WOW WOW' and shrieks of delight.
I love exploring the world through his eyes.

Julian is 18 Months!
Time has really been playing tricks on us since finding out we are expecting baby Noah!
Julian is now 18 months ðŸ˜
Weight: 23.5 pounds
Height: 2'6
Teeth: 9 ish... this is a tough one to check without getting chomped! He's working on his top canine teeth right now. He has his two bottom middle teeth, top front four, two bottom canines, and at least one top canine pushing through.
He loves: Playing outside! This kid could play outside all day and all night, no matter what temperature. We constantly catch him sprinting to the front door begging to go out front so he can wander along the sidewalk. When it's nice outside, sometimes he gets to walk home from daycare, and if one of us beats the other home from work we will wander with him outside waiting for the other.
He's also been obsessed with Bruce. He will call out 'Brucey' and play with him and his dog toys. Sometimes he gets a little cranky when he dangles Bruce's toys and Bruce is able to actually run away with one! Still mastering how to play with the dogs nicely. Bruce loves to play hard to get, which just eggs Julian on even more.
Julian has been crazy for oatmeal and some days he is happy eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! He has the same undying love for nilla wafers. It's been a hard habit to break!
He seems to love most toys, but he's especially fond of board books. He loves to grab a book and sit in a lap while flipping through. Occasionally you can catch him reading out loud to himself and it's the sweetest thing to see. His vocabulary is really expanding these days and he can point out what objects are in the books and what noises animals make.
He hates: HAIRCUTS! Good grief... we took him for his second haircut recently and it was just as bad as the first time. Lots and lots of tears and yelling, but they did a great job and he even smiled at the hair stylist when she finished. Along with haircuts, Julian still hates having his hair washed. Loves baths, hates washing hair. Go figure.
He despises the vacuum. He doesn't like it if it's on and he doesn't like it if it's off and just sitting within view! I'm still holding out hope that he gets his daddy's cleaning genes!!
And, like any toddler, Julian does not like not getting his way. He is now the tantrum king complete with crocodile tears and foot stomping. Sometimes he is easily distracted out of his tantrum, and other days his stubbornness takes a firm grip and we suffer through until he works out his frustration. The fun ones are when Mom and Dad can't figure out why he's upset.
Even with the tantrums, we wouldn't trade any ounce of his personality. He's a sweet cuddler at times, blowing kisses and giving out hugs...and he's the biggest goofball twirling around in the middle of the living room until he falls from dizziness.
He keeps us on our toes and we can't wait to see what kind of big brother he will be in a few more weeks!!!
