Heart My cutie is a year and a half! Get your photos here! :)

Missed posting yesterday on the actual 18 months to the day but wanted to show off some photos.

A few here, and of course more on the blog. Warning: I can get pretty snarky on there. Julian Luis and Family. Photos and Musings.

Julian is doing great! He knows about 40-45 signs, and says about 10 words.

He loves to read and to "help" around the house.
Attachment for him is great, and better for me every day.

I am grateful every day for the chaos and love he brings to our home.

Thanks so much forum family for just being there. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without you.

Hey Sam!
He's such a cutie, and he's getting so big! I love his vacuum. When are you guys coming up north? We need a PNW get together.

Seems like Julian is using his left index finger to point out a spot you missed! What a happy, handsome little helper he is. Congratulations
