She has not completely gotten the concept of the sippy cup down, but we do get juice out of it and into her. It just generally takes more of us holding the cup at the right angle sometimes, but it works.
And for those of you who want to see Julia and her "doggie" here is a cute picture. She gets a kick out of seeing Max, but Max really isn't too into Julia. And she cannot really interact with the dog yet (other than smacking her hand up and down as babies do).
And she rocks back and forth when she is on her hands and knees now, but she still is not crawling yet. She always seems to scream "Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh" when she is rocking.
Some of the things she says these days include, in no particular order: Daaahhhdd (kind of an elongated Dad), Ma-ma-ma-ma, Bay-bay-bay-bay, Bah-bah-bah-bah, Butter (though we've only heard this one a couple of times, she can't say butterfly fully). She really isn't talking, but repeating the sounds we make, but Butter was her first word. And I've heard toy every now and then.
Dave got this cool shot by accident, so I'm posting it.
So, usually around 8 pm Julia and I set off upstairs to do our bedtime routine. We play a little in her room and we put pajamas on Julia. We read a book or two and then we brush her teeth (and gums).
And here are a couple pictures of the finger brush.
And rinsing out her mouth.
Then we go back to her room and read another story and sing a couple songs. I feed Julia one last time and then she gets put in bed and holds on tight to her blanket, sucks her thumb and falls asleep. Here's us reading a bedtime story.
The End... Oh, and her weight as of Saturday morning is 16.3 pounds (according to our scale, but it was acting up).
