Back by Popular Demand

This post is in response to my brother Matt's comment on the last post. As Julia's adoring uncle, he requested more pictures of her and, I quote, "more info on what she does that is cute and or darling." Well, it has been a while since we wrote a post dedicated to Julie-Baby. I guess I can scrounge up a few pictures and think of something to tell along the lines Matt requested.

Um...lately Julia has just gotten into the habit of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance while doing a little tap-dance. Okay, maybe not. But, she does give a "token smile" (as Amber dubbed it) to anyone and everyone she sees. Then she continues to smile. (Although a few weeks ago she burst into tears every time Lili started to sing to her. Hmmm, we think she may have just been tired??) She laughs like crazy when her rooster puppet talks to her. (His name is "Pup" short for puppet. Jonny named him.) She seeks out tags on blankets, dolls, and anything else and searches for them if you take the items away. She LOVES her daddy and the sound of his voice. It is nearly impossible to nurse when he is anywhere in the vicinity. At the slightest sigh from him, she jerks away and searches for her daddy. She has just gotten into the habit of sucking on her bottom lip, as shown in the first picture below. But probably the most "cute and or darling" thing she does lately happens when I get her from her crib every morning. She lifts her head up and peeks between the slats, giving me her biggest smile and sometimes a giggle. Naturally, I snatch her up and kiss her repeatedly.

And here are a few pictures. We were playing on the bed a few days ago and I just
happened to have the camera on hand...Above: Reaching for the camera strap.

let her have it.

She is so cute. We missed her at cooking club. Hope all is well. Hannah sucked her lip till she was like 10. She seems like the happiest baby ever. Good job. And tell Lili to stop singing to her. :)

Emily said...

She better get used to Lili singing because she does it A LOT! I of course LOVE these and would like more like these on the blog soon. I can't miss a thing. And I was there when the lip sicking began, I think. We have great video footage.

Man, the kid is cute even when she's crying! What a cute baby-doll. Can't wait to see her again!

This is Lindsey's older sister...

Your baby? SO cute. And I'm a baby snob, because both of mine were beautiful. So I don't compliment just any baby. Julia has well and truly earned the title of absolutely adorable.

Woods said...

Oh I really needed to see what she was up to also. She is getting more hair! I love it! She makes the cutest faces.

Lili and Jeff said...

Tell your baby she is kind of fat, and I love it. All the rolls, it is precious. And I am sorry about the singing, but you have to admit, it was kind of funny...

Janice Graham said...

Very cute and adorable and come on over if ANY of you are bored . . .

Amber said...

Oh that baby Ju Ju. We can't get enough of her over here! My favorite trick of her's is when she kicks me like a horse when I hold her on my hip. She is the kickenest baby I've ever seen!
