Happy 1/2 Year Birthday!

Happy Birthday Julia! You are 6 months today and growing like a champ!

One of your new favorite things to do is jump, whether you are in your excersaucer, your "Julia Jump-up" or in some one's arms... you love to jump. Now you have pappa jumping too. When he does you giggle really hard!

"Look, no hands!" You can sit all by yourself now! You can push yourself up into a sitting position and then let go of the ground to play with a toy. The first time you sat yourself up was on the guest bed with Grandma Dee Dee and Aunt Shana there. We were all so proud of you!

You like to sit up during your bathes and chase all of the floating toys with your hands. We got out the 'big girl seat' for your stroller and you like that a lot, since you can look around easily in it. You have also been sitting up in the shopping carts and using the shopping cart cover Oma Doris gave you!

You tried your first food - mashed up bananas. If you don't count all of the gagging, I think you liked it! You are constantly trying to take what I am eating and put it in your mouth. You also try to drink from cups and bottled water. The other day we let you copy what we do, by letting you put your mouth on the straw of my water at a restaurant. We were very surprised when you sucked up a big gulp of water!!! Now you have be experimenting with drinking from sippy cups.

You can now put the paci into your mouth all by yourself. We are anticipating your first crawl. To get around right now, you roll, wiggle and push yourself around on your tummy. It is the cutest thing!

Julia, you are a great baby. Each day with you is a blast!

Happy Birthday my little Blueberry,
Love Mommy
