julian is almost a year old now & there's just so many things that he can do. for one thing, he's so mobile now since he learned to take his steps the very last day before he turned 10 months... that's when he really took like 10 or something steps without any kind of support from any of us or even anything for that matter. his grandma jokes that he really tried to squeeze his being able to walk right into the 9th month mark & julian succeeded in doing that :)
he's also able to say & recognize more things now... he calls me mamamamamamy... his daddy dadadadadey (but honestly, even before he was like 4 or 5 mos, when he would cry when he couldn't get his way with me, i swear he calls for his "addy")... his grandma as emma... he can now even say 'bard' or 'ba' for the wooden bird hanging on top of our ceiling wall & he would always point up whenever he would hear an airplane or a helicopter pass by. he even said bubble to a month or so back while pointing to the bottle of bath soaps on top of the kitchen sink where he usually takes a bath. yesterday when we went to the market to accompany one of our neighbors, i took him out of his stroller & strapped him instead on the grocery cart... after maybe pushing him around 5 or so steps, he started to make noises, it sounded something like "ah! ah!" & he kept on repeating it... i finally stopped & asked what's wrong & that's when i realized that i left his stroller by itself near one of the fruit stalls. he quieted down & smiled at me when i finally got his stroller back :)
julian hasn't taken a baby bottle too for almost 2 weeks now. i wasn't trying to wean him yet or anything but all of a sudden he just stopped taking it. i was even trying to give him some formula in a little glass since he usually prefers to drink the way we drink our drink (in a big glass) & not through his sippy cup but that too didn't do the trick. he still nurses with me though & boy, can he eat :) he doesn't say no to any kind food (at least for now -- and mommy's keeping her fingers crossed too). even the peas that he sometimes didn't like when he was a baby is a-okay now with him. a couple of days ago he even sneaked away from the chopping board some raw onions & even that he swallowed... i was joking james that either julian really liked the onions or he was merely trying to prove to mommy that he wouldn't regret taking those raw onions from the cutting board & that he's a real mean eating machine :)
and last night, while he was standing on the foot of the bed waving bye-bye to me, i waved back & blew him a kiss... julian then put his right hand in his mouth & smiled :) he knows how to give huggy & kissies but it was only last night that i ever saw him do a flying kiss... sigh, our baby boy is really growing... & he's not just growing, he's growing REAL fast. to our little boy julian, mommy & daddy loves you so much. and to my husband/baby james, i love you more everyday...
