Stuff

Mom came over to visit Julia Friday night. She ended up doing more cleaning than anything, which was a huge help. John's brother and his wife are coming to stay with us for a couple of nights this week. It has inspired us to get some things done! I never really understood why my friends with kids always said it was so hard to get things like housework and laundry accomplished with a baby. Well, now I get it!
Julia got to get in her swing for the first time Friday! I love this picture because you can see Sue's (our rescued dog's) snout in the far left getting a sniff of Julia. She really liked the swing!

Julia still likes her toes and they taste really good with rice cereal on them! She has created a method to eating her cereal at night. It goes something like this....take a bite, suck her 2 fingers, take them out of her mouth, take a bite, suck her 2 fingers, take them out of her mouth.....and on and on! Every now and then she throws a toe in there for good measure.

Julia wants to put any and everything in her mouth. Her least favorite things to put in her mouth are the 2 toys we bought her that are specifically for that purpose. She really prefers her dress, which ends up soaking wet and her all time favorite, her 2 fingers. She is learning to "get things" with her hands. Today at lunch, she almost pulled my plate off the bar and into the floor. We are having to put things out of her reach.
