Six months. How can it be? Congratulations to Jeff and me for keeping a baby happy, healthy, and alive for half a year!
Julia has really been developing/showing her personality this past month. She's usually happy and content but when she does not like something, she lets you (and anyone else that happens to be in the area) know about it. Some recent milestones... found her feet, eating pureed food (green beans and sweet potatoes so far), rolling over from back to tummy, sitting unassisted for a few seconds, likes looking at herself in a mirror, and noticing Murphy more.
Julia likes: her mommy and daddy, story time at the library, her grandparents, going on walks, eating, baby dolls, rolling over, facetime on my phone, peek a boo, bath time, chewing on anything and everything, and having books read to her.
Julia dislikes: being in the doctor exam room, not taking a long enough nap, being the only person in a room, rolling over and getting stuck on her tummy, and strangers (it takes her a minute to warm up to people).
Stats:
Julia is 26" long (I'm not sure that is quite accurate- that would be two inches in one month) and weighs 15 lbs 9.5 oz.
Dear Julia,
You are so fun! You are very alert and constantly taking in your surroundings- this makes nursing you a bit of a challenge as you are very interested in every single thing around you (TV! Daddy! Ceiling fan! Murphy! A lamp! You get the idea...). You are constantly chewing on something and you remind me of a little puppy dog always having something in your mouth. Staying home with you right now is the absolute best thing. I love it! And you seem pretty happy with it too. Every day brings something new, and it is amazing to be able to watch you grow and develop.
I don't know what we did before you. You are easily the greatest thing that has happened to us.
Love you always,
Mommy
