I know both of these videos are dark, they were taken in this living room that appears to just swallow the light. But they were still too cute not to share. Last night Julia was watching out the window while Daddy was mowing the lawn, you can see the result. She called and talked to him like this off and on for about 15 minutes. At several points she even had Moosey looking out the window and was calling out "look Dad it's Moosey"... LOL. She is too funny.

The other was taken this morning and yes we needed to pick up the toys and books we weren't quite awake yet either of us. Anyway Julia turned the tv on as usual but I didn't change the channel right away... I usually have it on Nick Jr before the tv is even on..so it was still on Daddy's favorite Food Network. She sat herself down in her chair and proceeded to watch.. intently. I didn't realize just how much she was watching at first until the commercial came on and that was when she would take a break and ask for a drink or more food! As soon as Emeril came back on, she was lost in the tv again! What probably didn't come across on the video is that when I asked her "what does Emeril say?" she did actually whisper "Bam" Yes obviously she has seen him before and loves watching Food Tv on the weekends with Daddy, and you know what?? hey it got me out of Dora this morning!

So back to the title of this post, yes she is most definitely.. Daddy's girl!

Outdoor fun




































Since the weather has been steadily warming up, we have naturally been taking advantage and spending some time outside. Julia loves to be outside. Today I finally got sand put in her sand and water table. Good thing we didn't put water in the other side since she thought that was the perfect place to take a break and have a seat. If you look close at some of the pictures you might be able to see the blue chalk on her cheek as well. I'm not quite sure why she thought it would be good to color her face or how she smudged it but it was very funny at the time. Obviously the sand was a hit. I bought this inflatable sand and water table years ago, I think the year before we even traveled to China to get Julia. I had found it on clearance and couldn't pass it up. Glad I did, inflatable toys are great for people that move often, and Princesses are perfect for Julia. Definitely a win, win.

Good thing we went out this morning since we have storms this evening. Spring time in Texas, oh the fun.

Well we did it. We got last minute cheap seats and took Julia to see Disney's High School Musical on Ice last night. We hadn't really planned on going, but decided at the last minute it would be worth it. I have to say it so was! Watching Julia dance to "Get'cha head in the game" alone was worth it! She really enjoyed the first act and sang and danced and made Daddy and I hold hands during the duets. It was a riot! By the second half, we were kind of pushing bed time so she wasn't as into it, but she sure didn't want to leave either. However when the last song was done she looked at us and said "bye bye?" LOL.

She had us in stitches all night. On the way over to the show, she had begun chanting "Mommy, Daddy, Daddy, Mommy"... repeatedly in the car, not yelling or anything just kind of in a sing song kind of way, well at some point, she added the word "nuts" into that little chant, so it was "Mommy, Daddy, nuts, Daddy, Mommy, nuts"..etc so as Daddy is parking the car at the Ice show, she finally just comes out with "Mommy Nuts"... it's amazing he didn't wreck the car! Took him about 2 minutes to be able to breathe again to just open the car door. This is the kind of stuff this child comes out with all the time.

All in all, it was a very fun night.

Pirates and Princesses

















I may have mentioned previously that Julia loves Pirates of the Caribbean. She loves Cap'n Jack. Well a few weeks ago we took a day trip down to Grapevine to check out the Kids Room to Go showroom among other things. Julia has outgrown her baby dresser and is in need of a real one, we had seen this online and wanted to see the quality of it. Especially since they have a store close to where we will be living in FL. We are very likely going to go with the Princess set. But I have to share some of that afternoon with you. We walked into the store and Julia thought it was a giant playroom. She was having a blast checking out all the furniture and decorations, yes we have a true shopper here I believe, I think her and Aunt Alissa could have lots of fun together. So we checked out the Princess set first because this is the one I had looked most at online, then we went walking around the show room. Of course with a sales guy kind of tagging along just in case we should be buying anything. Julia got to the Pirates room set up and flipped! Her exact words " Mama it's a Pirate ship, where's the treasure??" Then she proceeded to look at the posters on the walls and point out "Will" and "Captain Jack"... the sales guy was tripping at this point! LOL. The next set was "Hannah Montana"... so Daddy asks Julia "who's that on the tag?" answer "Hannah Tana" then she read off the label on the mattress set... it said you guessed it.. DISNEY! By now the sales guy is choking and asking again "how old is she?" thought he was going to lose it when we told him 2 and 1/2. So yes, my child watches way too much TV and as you can see most of it is Disney. Can't wait to take this girl to Disney World, hopefully that will be next year. :)

Oh and I asked her which furniture she liked when we got back in the car, half afraid she would say the Pirate ship, she actually gave it some thought and said "Cinderelly bed" so I guess we were looking at the right set after all. This child is entirely too much some days! :)
