Grandpa's visit

My dad was in St. George on business with his colleague from China, Tang Cai. They drove up to Provo for a visit which was fantastic! It was only the second time Julius has seen Grandpa! We had such a good time...I didn't want them to go!

Tang Cai made us an authentic Chinese meal which included the best dumplings (like potstickers) I've ever had. He was even nice enough to make me a batch to put in my freezer!

A lesson in dumpling making.

Dinner with friends, the Beus's.

Julius was sad to see Grandpa go too.

Easter

These first 4 pictures were taken by my friend Tiffany Garfield again. I just love them!

This is Julius' best friend Kirra (Tiffany's daughter). She's two months younger than Julius. Tiffany and I hang out all the time, as a result, so do Julius and Kirra. But they are finally starting to notice each other! It's very fun! Tiffany snapped a few of the two of them when we were taking their easter pictures.

Trouble

Since becoming mobile he's gotten into a few tight spots. He just yells until someone comes and saves him.

He quickly figured out how to open the cupboard and pull everything out. I really wasn't ready for all the destruction yet!

He knows where the toys are.

Haha! He got stuck...it was pretty funny!

Julius has decided that he doesn't like having his diaper changed anymore. As soon as you get him down and get it off there he goes! And he's quick! Really...it's a two man job now.

A variation of the "army crawl"

Cribs

This month the boy learned that he doesn't just have to lay there in his crib...he can turn over and move around in there too!

How can you resist that face?

oops...

So I was getting Julius ready for bed one night...took off the clothes, took off the diaper, and put him in the bath. But after bath time we realized there were no diapers in the house! After an immediate accident all over mom we found this cloth diaper that I use for a burp cloth. After taping in on him, I sent Ken out to buy diapers and Julius got to stay up a little later that night!
