dancing (and a few other things )

Julia has taken up dancing. She loves to push the button on her ball-popper toy, providing some obnoxious circus-like music, and jam out. Twirling and head shaking are very popular. Here is some footage caught after a fun race we ran last weekend. (I think the camera is shaking at the beginning because Jonny is dancing too!) When she's not stuck in her stroller, she has even more sweet moves.


Oh, and here is a rare picture of active Julia. This is how I found her one morning after our run. She's not sleeping, just resting in the middle of the kitchen.I might as well post a clip of Julia loving the ducks at the Thanksgiving Point Farm Country. She didn't care much for the other animals, but the ducks were fascinating. Maybe because "duck" is one of the few words she can say??


Okay, one more picture. This is Julia's new way to walk. (Our trips to the mall and other stores are even more limited now!)

Nice Ricky Martin music. What a little silly. She's so big, but still so little. Especially when Jonny is holding her. So good with her little words too. I need to see her sweet face in person. I hope you are quizzing her periodically on her relatives that live far away.

Just got off the phone with my love, and about to hit the hay. Thanks for the post... it was good to hear you and see Julia. I love my girlies.

Oh the pushing of strollers. Good times are ahead for you. I love the dancing. Too bad you aren't bringing her (too bad for me--I'll bet you're excited for the break!).

HA HA! Sometimes I tire out and collapse in the middle of the kitchen too.

That dancing was awesome. La Vida Loca? What, were you listening to the Oldies station??

I am sad I missed the Beat Beethoven race. Why does no one tell me about these things?

My favorite part of this post: Jonny saying "She likes ducks."
