Silly song time and outdoor fun

Our little munchkin loves to sing, more and more lately as her vocabulary continues to expand. She will have me sing with her until I am hoarse and even likes to have Daddy sing with her.. don't get me wrong here I love my husband but his singing.. tends to put my teeth on edge.. of course he's usually not trying very hard or I should say that is exactly his intention when he sings around me.. so in a sense he's a success. lol. now back to Julia. She has learned so many nursery rhymes songs, among songs from her favorite TV shows and she has a few nursery rhyme books and can now sit and pretty sing her way through them as she flips the pages. So cute. She's still not crazy about being caught on video though, so the clip I have she is singing but playing peek a boo under the blanket at the same time. But as you can tell we were having fun. :)

The outdoor fun is that we picked up a small bounce house last weekend. We decided that since we are moving this summer and have a trip to Ohio later this month planned, and now a house hunting trip to FL in June as well before we move that we would not mess with setting the pool up this year. Obviously since we are moving we don't want to get an outdoor play structure either so we decided this would be a good alternative. Add this to her outdoor art easel, sand box and of course just being outside and I think she's all set for the short amount time we have left here. :) We are getting very excited for the move and Julia is asking almost weekly now to go to the beach, I can only thank Dora for that one I guess, but hopefully that will help make the move easier for her. I'm getting nervous about how she is going to handle everything. At least she will see Braden right at first when we move, he'll still be there on vacation and every summer after that as well, but when she realizes how long it's going to be between visits might be a bit rough. Do me a favor and say some prayers that she handles this next transition in her life as well as she has handled everything else. I can't believe that she will be turning 3 in just 3 short months or that we will be celebrating 2 years of bringing her home this June. She sure has seen a lot already in her life, her time in China, the trip home for the first time, trips to Ohio and Maine to see family and grandparents that adore her from afar, so much to take in.. not a wonder she still has trouble sleeping. That still comes and goes and I guess we have just learned to live on less sleep for now and I'm not even going to worry about how spoiled she is until after we move and get settled.. again. lol

Anyways.. here she is enjoying her bounce house for the first time, mostly she likes to bounce through and slide, so glad we got the one with the little slide too.

sooo sweet! I only got a few seconds of each video, I think my computer is messing up...I'll go check it out on dropshots when I get the chance. What a sweet voice she has! Jaiden will not allow us to sing to her, we try but she tells us "No sing - I do it!"

Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
