Julia Petulia is 6 months old!

Julia was 6 months old yesterday and she had a big day to celebrate. We sang Happy Birthday about 10 times because she loves to hear her momma sing songs. And I promise....she is the only one who likes to hear it! Big girl...almost sitting up on her own, but not quite. She still needs a little support from her Boppy.
All of us went to eat dinner at the Farmfest sponsor appreciation banquet. Julia was the star of the show and had a bottle for dinner while the rest of us enjoyed catfish, hushpuppies, fries and slaw. Shawnie and Lance sat with us and I talked her into going for a walk after we got a belly full of fried food.

Julia gets to try real food today after her doctor's appointment for the first time! I bought some fresh green beans and carrots at the grocery store today and will cook them and mush them up in the blender for her dinner. I had to consult my friend Becca, Sol's Mom, to ask her about cooking our own baby foods. My original plan was to start with green beans, but she suggested a sweeter vegetable like carrots or sweet potatoes. Good idea!

Julia requested her first meeting with the mayor of Wynne, Paul Nichols, to discuss some current events taking place in the city that she will be living in. She had a lot to say and I think the look on her face lets you know if she was satisfied with the results of thier meeting! I think we were able to schedule the meeting so easily since we have known this mayor for well over 30 years.

After the stroll, we went home and Julia got her very first guitar lesson from her dad. He told her to watch him first and then she got to try. She was a very good student and learned how to strum. He told her that they would work on some chords next time.
