Julia at Eleven Months

Quick post guys... hopefully I will upload some more pictures soon.

Here is Miss Grace waiting for dinner to be ready. (We got to have fish fillets and tater tots since Daddy was away!)

And here she is with her "birthday" dinner. she had salmon (better for her than the fish fillets and she likes it more), tater tots, carrots, and applesauce.

And here is a cute picture of her and her teeth.

That evening, after being fed, she weighed in at a mere 18 pounds even, on our home scale. Cute posing pictures from that evening should come soon.

Have a great weekend guys!

Correction... Front Teeth

So, I noticed yesterday evening that Julia is getting both of her front teeth now. The left one is coming out too! I'll try to get a picture of them soon.

Front Tooth and Doctors

First, look at these eyes. Don't you just want to melt?

And this cute pose that wasn't posed but she was caught in motion at the right time.

And her little finger just reaching out for the button.

Adorable isn't she?

So, today, we went to the eye doctor to make sure Julia's eyes are developing fine. Yes they are. We had no worries, but her regular doctor wanted us to get her checked with the family history of eye problems. We also stopped by to get her blood drawn again (since they did not get enough last time... remember this). This time went better. They found a vein in her right arm and she cried, but it took little time to draw the blood. (The wait beforehand was an hour, though.) Oh, and her right front tooth is coming in (or out), I think since Wednesday.

Here's a couple pictures from Mother's Day.

So, we went to Bob Evan's for breakfast on Mother's Day. A gentleman was walking around giving all of the mothers (and women in general, I think) a rose. This is the first time that Julia did not try to eat the flower (or anything that I've tried to get her to smell) when she smelled it. (Not that she knew how to sniff, but it looked cute none-the-less.)

Julia and Mommy waiting to be seated for breakfast.

Next week she is 11 months! (And you get an update then.) Soon she will be one year.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all of my (our) moms and grandmothers... yay! (I know I'm a day late, but that's ok.) Thanks for teaching me how to dance in life (or at least watching and laughing at me). Here's a cute video to make you smile.

Things I forgot to write last time...

1. She loves to dance!

2. She laughs a cute fake-ish laugh (that sounds similar to Dylan's "I'm trying to laugh really hard at all the adult jokes," laugh).

3. She waves good bye (and sometimes it is hello or good night).

4. She can climb up stairs now. (So we have to be extra watchful now.)

5. Although she loves her baths, she hates showers. I tried to kill (meaning bathe) two birds (meaning me and Julia) with one stone (meaning a shower) and ended up just making one of them scream loudly.

There is probably more, but I'll remember that stuff later.

Julia's First Snow Part 3

And this is what the house looked like on Monday morning. You can't even see our driveway.

And Andy came over that evening to help plow our driveway.

And Dave was out there working on clearing the driveway too. (Or at least he was propping up the shovel in between it being used. Ha ha... he actually did shovel the snow.)

And here is the back walk that I shoveled that morning. Notice how high the snow is compared to Julia. I think we got about a foot of snow, but I never actually measured it.

And now back to your regularly scheduled blog...

Julia's First Snow Part 2

And here are some pictures from March 2nd. I took off work and got to spend a snow day with my baby! She was not crawling or walking yet, so she could not fully enjoy the snow, but we did make it out quite a few times to look, and play, and eat the snow. Here's our cute, pink, marshmallow of a girl in her snow suit ready to go outside.

And I dug a hole in the snow so she could stand. This is really how high the snow was on our driveway.

And we went inside to warm up by the fire (and play with toys) several times.

We also walked around front and made snow angels. Here she is sitting in hers.

And the mommy and baby snow angels we left behind. Aren't they cute?

More to come...

Julia's First Snow Part 1

I know you have been patiently awaiting these wonderful pictures (because everyone wants to know exactly what happens in my life, well, maybe not mine, but maybe Julia's). Here are the pictures from the snow on March 1st.

Getting ready to go out in the snow for the first time.

First steps and feeling it snowing.

It's kind of fun. I think it even tickles my nose.

Look Maw Maw we're out in the snow!

Daddy and I say it is time to go back in. It's getting windy (and cold) out here.

More to come...
