Julia's update

Here are some things I want to remember about Julia. I'm typing them up, so I don't forget.
She sings: I got the sea (under the sea)
She says: you all done (I'm all done), wanna do again (Can you start the movie over again?),

It is so cute how Julia uses her l's and r's right now. Some people find it hard to understand, but for a mom, you know exactly what your kid is saying (most of the time). So here is some of her language:

Julia's r's, often = w's:
 afwaid (afraid), bwown (brown), bwush (brush), cawot (carrot), con (corn), cwayawn (crayon), cwazy (crazy), diwect (direct), evewything (everything), gawage (garage), gwate (great), gween (green), kangawoo (kangaroo), macawoni (macaroni), mawble (marble), memowy (memory), pawade (parade), pawents (parents), pawot (parrot), pwince farming (prince charming), wabbit (rabbit), wacoon (raccoon), wadio (radio), wanebow (rainbow), wake (rake), wattle (rattle), (wectangle (rectangle), wed (red), frigewaiter, (winoceros), rhinoceros, wing (ring), wobot (robot), wock (rock), woll (roll), wooster (rooster), wound (round), scawy (scary), secawet (secret), spiwit (spirit), twain (train), twactor (tractor),tweasure (treasure), twee (tree), twunk (trunk), tuwkey (turkey), yawn (yarn), yewhoah (yellow),zebwa (zebra), zewo (zero)
She can use r's correctly, as in farm, finger, fire, first, forget, flower, garden, hammer, horses, jaguar, jar, mermaid, tiger

Julia's l's, often = w's
Awice and wonderwand (Alice and wonderland), awigator (alligator), bewieves (believes), bwock (block), calcuwator (calculator), cawipidar (caterpillar), chocwick (chocolate), Cindewowa (Cinderella), cwock (clock), cower (color), elwafants (elephants), elwavator (elevator), everwasting wife (everlasting life), gwasses (glasses), gwove (glove), hewicopter (helicopter), hewhoa (hello), huwahoop (hulahoop),  jelwybean (jellybean), kowallwa (koala), wadder (ladder), wazy (lazy), weaf (leaf), wemon (lemon), white house (light house), wike (like), wips (lips), wittle (little), wizard (lizard), wowipop (lollipop), wadybugs (ladybugs), wamp (lamp), wast (last), wafter (laughter), wemon (lemon), wips (lips), wongsuffering (longsuffering), ward (Lord), I wuv it (I love it), wettuce (lettuce), marvewous (marvelous), neckwace (necklace), pwant (plant), wibary (library), wook at dat (look at that), sawad (salad), sweep (sleep), umbrewa (umbrella), wood (world), yewoah (yellow)
Julia is getting better because she can use l's correctly occasionally, as in always, balloon, black, blue, help, pillow, quilt.

Julia's f's, sometime = b's
barm, (farm), bire (fire)
Is that bunny? (Is that funny?), That's bun (That's fun)

Some other words and how she says them: altibet (alphabet), banage (bandage), NT (empty), N (end), espearmint (experiment), goar (girl), golilla (gorilla), hagabur (hamburger), igaloo (igloo), guana (iguana), inbention (invention), imitation (invitation), Di Shang (Li Shang), Gia or Juweeah (Julia), mucky (monkey), muster (monster), mouse (mouth), mudder (mother), pocorn (popcorn), pucked up or pupped up (puffed up), punkin (pumpkin), strengens (strengthens), teese (teeth), yuhyo (yo-yo)

Julia's favorite songs include: it's a small world, Jesus loves me, aah-aah-aah (little mermaid), Twinkle Twinkle
