Well, the very next day after the two of you got muddy, I busted out the blue table and the old standby- shaving cream- for a good clean afternoon sudsoff.
The two of you wasted no time getting good and messy/clean.
Then I put the camera down and joined in the fun. I kept my skivvies on though.
Julia, my dear, a few days ago you turned 7 months old. And 7 months old is apparently the time of your life!
You're a beautiful growing girl. It's amazing that so quickly you've grown from this:
To This!
Both beauties, of course, but it's just incredible how far you've come!
So, what does a 7 month old Julia do?
Well, she smiles:
She laughs:
She's contemplative too!
She tries very very hard to crawl, even if it means crawling off of a couch (which you haven't done, but tried very, very hard to do during our photo shoot):
She clearly doesn't mind if her brother crashes her photo shoot either:
She doesn't quite have teeth yet, but there's two suckers that have almost popped out. You can feel them, and see the ridges if you're up close. But, as evidence, there's no real sign of chompers yet.
She loves her Mama, and gets very excited when she's in the room.
She plays, and her favorite game is "Up Down" in which she tries to climb up on everybody to get to standing.
In fact, she even hangs out by standing up in the pack n' play, and can chill there for a happy, proud, long time.
She plays ball with her Daddy:
She eats pears and mango (popsicles) and spinach and avocado.
And chews on just about everything she can get her hands on.
She loves her family. And is quite happy being with everyone, but would much rather be down on the ground, working out how to get around.
Overall, a 7-month old Julia is just...a perfect little Julia! Okay, maybe not perfect. You don't quite sleep through the night, but we're working on that. Aside from that, little, one, you lead quite a life and make everyone you meet very happy...especially yourself!
We're so glad you're here, and so glad you're enjoying your 7th month even more than the previous 6 months.
You are beautiful inside and out, and I can't wait to get home to see you and giggle with you again!
