Classic Baby Laughing Video

ConLai was super tired and went to bed early so Juliana had Mom & Dad's undivided attention. She took full advantage of the time.

Juliana & ConLais 1st Duet

I turned the sound system on before youth group and this is what happened next.

Stinky Rockin and Gabbit Goody

Stinky Rockin'
Juliana likes to sit on the rocking chair and rock. She also likes Daddy to sit on her lap and she'll sing "baby baby baby" to him. This time Anthony made a stinky, but Juliana didn't seem to notice.
I asked Juliana, "Is it stinky Nana?"
Juliana said, "Yeah."
"Juliana, do you have a dirty diaper?"
"No."
"Does Daddy have a dirty diaper?"
She rocked back and forth a couple more times with Anthony kinda on her and then she got up and pulled at Anthony's pants to check his "diaper". (Something we do with her quite a bit.) :)

Gabbit Goody
We bought a new game called, "Gabbit". It's a little device with 5 buttons on it, each a different category. If you need a conversation starter, it's a great help. Anyway, ConLai was pressing the buttons and answering the questions, surprisingly with understanding. A question that came up was, "Who is your favorite singer?" To Mommy's pleasant surprise (ha!), she said, "Mommy!" Oh how blessed is a child's naivete. :)

Happy Birthday Anthony!

Anthony has reached the golden age.He is turning 28 on the 28th.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY!!

Quick visit

Papo and GramO and Alidu came for a quick visit in July. It was wonderful to see them and they even got to join us for a baptismal service. A 12 year old girl was baptized! ConLai had fun playing in the water with Lucas after the service. Lucas is a youth leader who came with us to Chicago in July and who is wonderful with kids. Juliana wasn't all about the water at that point.

Daddy's girls

“Daddddyyyyy!!!”

When you get home we shout with glee!

The sound of the garage opening

And the car door shutting,

Sends us in a flurry to “Hide!” “Hide!”

Little giggles from a corner send tide

Just so you'll find us to throw into the air

You could take us anywhere

From the air to the rodeo

To ride in a horse show

Or wrestle you to the ground.

You take us to the fair

And win me my own teddy bear.

I'll grin from ear to ear
Proud to be your girlBecause who needs a prince?When I've got my Daddy.
