Here's Julian "lighting" the candles on his dinosaur birthday cake, while his friend Teagan hams it up.
And here's the big boy on a recent family hike.
The biggest advancement by far in Julian's growing-up journey is his speech. Last summer he would only say a handful of words and didn't string any together. A few nights after his third birthday, it's dinnertime, the parent are urging the kids to eat, and Julian half whispers to Audrey "we don't have to do what they say". What?!!
Julian continues to be a physically active, sweet, and shy, little dude. He and Audrey play imaginatively together for hours each day. He loves to go to the library and read books and if he is having a hard time saying goodbye to mama at preschool drop-off his teacher can always ease the separation with a book. He works hard on his smile when he is posing for a picture, but hides his face if someone is saying hello to him.
