News about Julia!
Can it really be? Julia is already six months old. I can’t believe how fast she is growing, and it’s hard to fathom six months have gone by since she was born.
With another month, there was another photo shoot. I haven’t had much time to pick out the photos I’m going to upload, so here is a sneak peek of this month’s photo shoot.

Look for some more pictures tomorrow.
Update (8/10 20:22): Pictures added to the gallery.
Julia would like to thank her uncle Ken for getting her a much-needed highchair. According to the site, it’s a “Healthy Care” high chair, whatever that is. Julia enjoys being in there, and that’s all I really care about.
Of course, when it came, it needed to be assembled. So Julia jumped right in and helped Sharon out with putting it together.

Sharon has been working on several different wishlists for Julia. There was one on Amazon, Babies R Us, and Target. Instead of trying to manage all of them, Sharon is just going to send the links to del.icio.us. That page is mirrored here.
Now when Christmas or a birthday comes around, we’ve got a simple one stop shop for everything Julia.
After a bit of a hiatus, I’ve put several more pictures in the gallery. Enjoy!

We were in Target today, and saw these big crayons that would be perfect for Julia to play with. Of course, we got the crayons and took Julia home to draw something.

Now maybe drawing isn’t the best term, and Sharon did help Julia get the crayon on by holding the paper and handing her the crayons. But the scribbling action back and forth – now that’s all Julia.

Julia is now five months old. Sharon marked the day with (what else?) a photo shoot. Here’s a couple favorites. Check out the gallery for more pictures.

I don’t think it was originally intended as such, but the cookout Mom and Dad had sure felt like a family reunion. Sure, everyone except Sharon, Julia, and me were much more able to get together for a get together. But now Susan and Issac are in D.C., so it will be harder for them to get to NY, and it was hard enough for Sharon, Julia, and me to get up there. (You try making four 5-hour trips with a 5-month old over the course of 7 days.)
So we made the most of it, passing Julia around to whoever would hold her. And, as we’ve always done, we took pictures of Julia with whoever was holding her. Since there were so many pictures, I’ve started a new album in the gallery.
And a couple of pictures I liked:

I was going to title this post “Pictures of the Week,” but it’s a lie. I don’t get a chance to post pictures every week, so I’ll just resort to something that sounds better.
So I’ve uploaded about 50 pictures. Julia has been trying some more foods. So far, she’s had green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Fruits are coming soon!

Julia had a big weekend. On Saturday, she tried green beans for the very first time. Her reaction was priceless. It wasn’t one of those grimaces you see on TV. Although Julia was a bit fussy right before Sharon started feeding her, Julia just froze as soon as she tasted the green beans. Then she was trying to figure out what the heck was in her mouth. Eventually, she ate it, but had problems with her tongue pushing out the green beans. All in all, it was a good first try at eating solid food.
On Sunday, Sharon went to get Julia after she woke up. We let her sleep on her belly (I know it’s bad, we do it anyway), and we found her on her back. She had finally turned over. It was so neat. We were just disappointed we didn’t get to see it.
I was looking after Julia later in the morning while Sharon was out for a walk. I heard her talking, so I looked in on her. She was up, and looking around. And out of the blue, she flipped over for me. It was so great to see her do that.
As always, I’ve uploaded 15 pictures to Julia’s gallery. Here’s a couple good ones.

As promised, there’s more pictures (60!) of Julia online now. Here’s a couple of my favorites.
