This past month has truly flown by! Julia is so sweet and simply the light of our lives. Julia is an eating machine. She seems to like everything we have tried giving her. In a typical day she will have greek yogurt or applesauce and sometimes she will have that with a mum mum (crispy rice thing that is similar to Styrofoam... but I think it is supposed to help babies figure out how to feed themselves) or scrambled eggs that I've made for myself for breakfast, some puffs (another crispy finger food for babies) or cheerios for a snack, and either a pureed vegetable or bites off our plate for dinner (usually both!). Sleep this past month has been hit or miss. I'll go ahead and blame that on teething or something... Speaking of teething, Julia still just has the one tooth, but she has been acting like she might have another tooth break through soon (or else, she has just been in a really bad mood). Julia reaches for us when she wants to be picked up, which we find adorable. Julia is still addicted to her mom and so so clingy. Being alone in a room (even surrounded by her wonderful toys) is just out of the question right now!
Julia is around 17 pounds. No idea how long she is- we go for a well baby checkup next month, so we will know then. Julia also had a freckle appear this past month on the side of her nose- so cute!
Dear Julia,
You are my best little buddy- we pretty much do everything together. What ever did I do without you? It's hard to imagine...
You are a curious little baby- everything you can get your hands on goes in your mouth, you love feeling different textures, you like to inspect things, and you enjoy taking in your surroundings (especially people watching/staring). You haven't met a food you didn't like- hopefully you stay open to different foods and don't become too picky (it's okay if you don't like mustard, olives, pickles, or nuts in your desserts, because... ew!). You haven't shown too much interest in becoming mobile just yet- why would you when you can be carried from place to place?? That's just fine with me right now since I know I'll have to be cleaning our floors three times a day once you're on the move to make sure you don't eat anything you shouldn't.
You continue to amaze us every day and every night after I put you to bed, I can't wait to see you the next morning!
I love you, sweet baby.
Mommy
P.S. Please sleep all night tonight- your daddy gets up with you during the night and he needs his beauty rest!
