Dadadada?

Look at her belly!

Julia is semi-crawling. She hasn't taken off around the house but she's almost there. She gets in the crawl position and slowly works her way around the living room.
Yes, we have a Rottweiler and yes they have a bad reputation. But someone forgot to tell Gypsy because she's shy and borderline lazy (she even has her own bedroom). She doesn't mind PJ's curiousity. Julia and Gypsy make a great team because if Julia drops any food (Cheetos), Gypsy is there to clean up the mess.


We've had a few new events this past week. First, we were at Tiny Tots for the Synagis shot & her weight is 17lbs 5oz. We were very excited. Second, I hate to admit it but we heard PJ's first "dadadada." But, I'd rather hear dadadada then the screeching noise she's discovered and likes. Third, we've had a set back on the mouth feeding. It began during Thanksgiving. Julia lost interest in trying to feed. We kept trying (3x a day) but now, she won't even let you put something on her lips. She doesn't like the sight of the spoon either. So, we're back to the early stages. I let her play with the spoons and every once in a while I'll playfully touch her face. It doesn't seem to bother her. She hasn't lost total interest in Cheetos (yet) so, we're still hopeful. Boy, who would have thought feeding by mouth would be so difficult?

PJ's first Christmas

Our first Christmas was great (we have plenty of pictures and video to prove it)! It didn't take long for PJ to discover the wrapping paper and bows. She was fascinated with all the sounds and lights (there are lots of them). As expected, there was no shortage of presents. The gifts in the pictures are from us and Grammy. They don't include the ones she received from other relatives. This Christmas was a true blessing for us.
