This is breaking news! Let's give a little background first. I guess Julia is something of a late bloomer in the crawling and teething department. (Both of these are fine with me. She is quite a delightful stationary little thing. And I am in no hurry for her pearly whites to peak!) Anyway, she's been rolling around and around for months. But a few weeks ago she started using rolling as an effective mode of transportation. She'd eye something she wanted, and roll and swivel until she reached it, usually making an arc formation. (No, not the most efficient way, but she managed.) Well, today, she made a discovery. While reaching for my chapstick, I saw her go up on her toes, lifting her big tummy entirely off of the floor (!!) and sticking her little bum in the air! Then she'd scoot and do it over again. She looks like an inchworm! (Sorry for all the exclamations, but I must try to portray the excitement of the moment somehow!) It was hilarious and darling and I'm afraid I made her "fetch" things so many times that she was too tired out to show Daddy her new trick when he got home from work. We'll start afresh tomorrow.
So, that is the haps. This little one may be well on her way to crawling. If that is the case, yikes! Time to baby-proof this place. Oh, and another habit she unfortunately started today is picking up any little speck on the carpet and eating it, smacking her tongue and lips. Funny, but yikes again! I have a feeling things are about to get a little trickier around here . . . bring it on, Ju-ju-train (one of Uncle Todd's many nicknames).
P.S. I just noticed that Julia looks like a pirate at the end of the slide show, the play button being her eye patch. Ha.

Way to go Julia! Excellent pictures and descriptions.
Thanks for the delightful slide show. I can't believe how big she is getting! We are buying our tickets this week and I think I'm staying for two whole weeks!! Hopefully Julia and I will become totally reacquainted. I can't wait!
All photos of Julia are so adorable! Be glad she doesn't have teeth, as I'm sure you are glad- Tanner has 2 already!! I also have heard, and I believe it, that the better their teeth are, the later they come in.
I love when they do new tricks! I need to see it in person. She's a doll.
Oh man, she is the cutest thing ever. I love the commentary and that you kept all the moments of despair for us. Awesome.
Good luck with the mobile stage. As soon as Jefferson started crawling I had to quit my job--he always went straight for the buttons!! My computer got turned off many a time.
Yay for the new tricks! I hope she doesn't get too mobile before preschool is over. I guess I will have to vaccume a little more so she doesn't choke on something down there.
