A Vacation of Firsts

This is my last night of vacation and that is a little sad.  However it was a wonderful week and half.   It was great spending so much time with Alyssa, Julia, and the rest of family in RI.

Julia had a great time too, she learned to wave good-bye and now enjoys doing it all the time.  She also has said her first real word (other than ma-ma and da-da)….any guesses…its one she hears all the time time.  That’s right its diaper!!!  I was folding her diapers and I said ‘diaper’, Alyssa then looked at me and said Julia just said ‘diaper’.  I thought she was just making it up.  So I said it again and clear as day Julia said ‘diaper’.  It was very cute.

Julia also corrected us on the sign for ‘more’.  We have been trying to teach her to put her hand to her mouth when she wants more.  But the other day Alyssa noticed every time she said ‘more’ Julia would put her hands together making a circle.  Pretty much just like this.  So Julia taught us the correct sign.  Thanks!

Here is a small selection of holiday pictures.  The first is a gift from Kate, I am sure Julia will enjoy the humor of it as she gets older.

It looks like Julia can’t wait to start cooking.  Although I think she needs a lesson on how to use the rolling pin.

Alyssa sure is excited to have this level, Julia needs convincing though.

Julia received her first gift from her cousin Alex.

All in all a great time!

Happy New Year everyone.
