can you say julianna?

My camera has been acting funny lately. I haven't gotten any good, recent pictures of Julianna. I am feeling pretty guilty about that.

Anyway, Julianna is 21 months now. Almost TWO! I can't believe that we really have no babies living in our house. It's so exciting, if everything goes as planned, we will be a diaper-free family in less than a year. Hooray!

 Julianna is at a really fun age. She is learning so much right now. She is testing her limits, soaking up language and really starting to develop even more personality. She has had such a language explosion that I can't even keep track of all the new words.

She has been known to demand quite a few things like: "shirt off" "take bath" "bathroom, water on!" "get in!" If you understand her correctly and repeat it back to her, she will nod her head and say, "yes." Today she spent the a few hours with my parents. When I asked her if she had a good day she said, "Mimi. Papa. Fun. House. Yes." I think we are past the guessing game with her. She makes it pretty clear exactly where she stands.

There is one word that I cannot get her to say, no matter what I try. Her name. She has yet to repeat it back to me. She says strawberry, granola bar and is making sentences. But, the girl refuses to utter even then first syllable of her name. I know it's a long one, but I wish she would try!
