Julian Walking

The last three weeks saw Julian progressing from stumbling about 3 steps at a time, to cautiously walking 2-3 metres, to roaming around steadily. Julian is walking! However, at this stage he is still crawling about half the time because he gets to where he wants faster by crawling :o).

[... and wins the race! Yay!]

Julian also walked around the cathedral last Sunday helped by Angie Mummy. At one point while he walked, the children returned from their children's liturgy session. Julian could not resist joining them as they walked to the front of the sanctuary to get sprinkled with holy water :o).

Plastic Ploy

Recently we noticed that people were being enticed to have outstanding balances on their credit cards through special 'rewards/bonuses' given for outstanding balances. Are people finally being given 'special privileges' for not having money...? Hmmmm... seems like a deliberate lure into debt (THINK INTERESTS), to us! Evil... Evil... EVIL!!!

Flying Kiss

Julian is finally able to 'throw' kisses to people. We noticed this while watching 'Destinasi Bajet', a show on budget travel, on 9 July 2008. The host threw a flying kiss and Julian responded! Of course Julian keeps his hand to his lips like most babies :-) Yay!

Security CD

Julian has not had any 'security' item to go to bed with - until last Monday night (7 July 2008). He decided to have a security item. His choice? A CD! He clutched it tightly to his chest and fell asleep almost immediately. Could this be the start of a long-term relationship? Only time will tell...

Photo Famous

Julian's photo appeared in the Your Album section of Mother & Baby's July 2008 issue!

Sometime in early February 2008, We submitted a photo of him taken when he was 5 months old. We were pleasantly surprised when Ethan's mummy (thank you!) SMSed to inform us that Julian's photo was published.

So, Saturday evening saw us at Popular at Tesco but alas, no July 2008 issue. On Monday night, we managed to get the July 2008 issue at Borders in Queensbay Mall :o).

We are now early awaiting news of the RM50 NappiKleen hamper :o).
