Julia turned 8 months old today! Everyone told us that the time would fly and they were right. We no longer have a little baby we have an almost toddler who has definite opinions! She loves solid food, particularly peaches, peas, string cheese and… pickles. Crazy girl – she won’t eat bananas but she’ll eat pickles! She also loves to “walk” holding onto our fingers and pretty much goes non-stop all day long. She will stand on her own for a few seconds and occasionally will cruise a few steps here or there, holding onto furniture. She doesn’t seem interested in crawling at all – she prefers to walk – but maybe she’ll surprise us one day. She has started saying “mamamama” and we’re trying to work on “dadadada” but I think “quack quack” might come first. She loves her ducks! She also loves to be outside and is content to sit on the lawn, pull up the grass, and watch the neighborhood go by… or maybe try to chase the older kids (I’m getting my exercise)!
Just in the last few days she has started what we think is pointing at things; although it looks more like a power fist pump than anything else as she still keeps her fist balled up! It’s very cute.
We are amazed every day that we have our beautiful Julia and are looking forward to being amazed for the months and years to come!
