So Julia is continuing to keep us entertained. She’s just picked up kissing us, and she will kiss Sharon or me on her terms only. She walks right up to us, looks right in our face, and then goes in for the kiss. It’s really quite cute.

Tomorrow is the big day, and Julia’s world will be turned upside down. She will no longer be the single center of attention, and she’ll have to learn how to share the limelight. We’ve tried to use dolls to simulate a baby, and it hasn’t gone too well. Let’s hope things go better this weekend…

Julia has been up to a lot lately. I’ve uploaded 7+ pages to Julia’s gallery.

Look for a week of Julia on video, starting Monday!

So after a long absence, the picture gallery updates are back. This one is big. I’ve uploaded over 110 pictures of Julia since late February.

I don’t know why there is such huge spaces after below each row of pictures. I’m not a CSS master, and there’s a mess of it behind this site. I plan on tinkering around with it and see what the problem is.

So Julia has had quite the busy month. She turned 1, went to the doctor (four shots!), played at the hand lab thing, had a big birthday party, and visited with her grandparents, her great-grandma, and her aunt Susan.

Julia has also started walking a bit, but still isn’t too confident about walking a lot. And she’s developed a bit of an independent streak as well. She has to feed herself most of the time, and she has quite the temper when she gets frustrated.

I’ve also uploaded a bunch of pictures of Julia. Enjoy!

Julia celebrated her very first birthday yesterday! Now her party isn’t for a little bit, but we gave her a couple presents anyway. There were some books and a ball popper thingy. For dinner, she helped herself to a mixture of mashed potatoes, acorn squash, and a little chicken thrown in. Then she had a really nice conversation with Grandma.

We also have some video with Julia playing with the ball popper. I’ll try to upload that this weekend.

I haven’t exactly been writing a whole lot this month, and I really haven’t said much about Julia lately. She is doing great, and has been learning all sorts of new things. Still not walking, but cruising all over the place. Sharon lines up the furniture and some toys so Julia can cruise throughout the living room and dining room. Julia is also learning to put shapes in her shape sorter (circles so far, no triangles or squares), babbling on and on, saying Mommy and Daddy every once in a while, and ‘playing’ the xylophone. In fact, Julia absolutely loves the mallet that came with the xylophone, she crawls around with it, hitting stuff, scraping it across tables, the floor, the cat tree, whatever is around.

I posted some pictures last week too. Here’s some I like.
