Julianne

Julianne, aka Miss Sassy, Little Stinker or Pineapple, has become quite the personality! So much so that she's earned a blog post of her own!
Julianne has done very well with Christopher's arrival and sharing the title of Baby. She adores him, needs to know where he is at all times, gives him lots of hugs and kisses (head butts) and enjoys stealing his pacifiers. At the same time, she's old enough now to enjoy playing with Caroline and Molly, although three bossy girls in one room doesn't always turn out well. Caroline provokes her while Molly will appease. She wants to do everything they do, see above picture, bowling shoes and all!
She's picked up many of Molly's more dramatic traits, like throwing herself on the floor and wailing, but she's tough. She'll wipeout doing her drunken stumble down the hall, exclaim "Whoa!" and get right back up. She doesn't understand why she can't have the independence that the girls have, hates that she can't open the baby gates on the stairs and likes standing on the girls scooters while Imelda helps her ride. She adores the dogs on the compound and thinks they're all named Ocky (There are two dogs named Rocky here!)
She's not very friendly with new people at first, but once she's comfortable with you, watch out, she'll start bossing you around with that little finger! She spends as much time as possible outside and loves her bath time every afternoon.
She was terrified of Santa this year, but could not get enough gifts to open on Christmas morning, she kept signing and shouting for more! She loves to make people laugh and can go from laughing to throwing toys in rage in no time at all!
While this may sound like a toddler's resume, it's what I want to remember about her, at this stage, in 20 years when so many other memories are clouded by the chaos that has become our daily routine!
