Oh, the Independence!


I put my bandana on myself!
Originally uploaded by Temmerling.

Yesterday, Julia announced "I wanna go potty!" and she then proceeded to take her pants off by herself, go sit on the potty (with diaper on) inform us that she was done, and then put her pants back on all by herself! This is quite an impressive act given what stage her skill in this area was at just a couple weeks ago:
I did it by myself!

Because I don't have any pictures from last night to document this wonder, I give to you these pictures from a couple days ago of her wearing the bandana that she put on all by herself, too. Oh, and notice her lovely ponytail-holder bracelet!
I have too much to carry

Julia has very important work to do on the internet. Just like her Mommy.

In case you're wondering, she went and got her laptop from the other room and put it on the table there and climbed up into that chair all by herself.

She loves Salsa so much that she drinks it straight from the bowl!

Julia's been super interested in learning how to dress herself. The other night she sat down determined to teach herself how to put pants on.

Well, she got one leg on, I guess.

Went for a Drive

Now THIS is the way to travel! So much more fun than a regular old stroller. The car that Uncle Kirk and Aunt Sara gave Julia for Christmas finally got taken on a test drive down for some coffee (for Mamas) and crepes (for Julia). She had such a blast we'll definitely be taking the car out again!

Jumping Julia


Jump!
Originally uploaded by Temmerling.

She's been working on a "true" jump for quite a while now. It started as just a bending of her knees, then it was a bouncing up and down. Then she added going up on her toes after the dip. Finally she started getting one foot up. And then, just this week, both feet off the ground! She can actually get up about six or eight inches and she's SO PROUD of herself for this accomplishment. She just jumps and jumps and jumps around the house.

I think the next thing she's going to work on is skipping.
