Journey with Julia

GO BUCKS! Yup, Daddy's been working with our little girl trying to turn her into a sports fan. (we'll see) At the moment he's winning. He sang one line of the "Buckeye Medley" (we don't give a dang about the whole state of Michigan) and my child makes a bee-line for the computer, where the song is stored! I kid you not, and she started bouncing to the music once it was turned on, which of course we had to do. So Auntie Alissa and Grampa Stephens these pics are for you! :)

Julia had a Dr's appointment yesterday, been dealing with a cold and she is just not herself, but as this is the first time in months she's been sick, I count us fairly lucky so far. It's just a little trying as she doesn't want anything but Mama most of the time. We did get updated measurements at the Dr's though.....23 lbs and
32 1/2" tall. Daddy took her to the Dr's and I guess she was very good as usual and as long as the Doc did everything to "Tyrone" (her favorite Backyardigan toy) first then she would sit and let the Dr. check her out with no problem. :) She's too funny, and developmentally she's right on target now. Amazing.

She's becoming our little mimic and trying to repeat a lot of what we say. For instance "Go Bucks", "apple", "lao-lao" (grammie Hall) and "nai-nai" (granny Stephens) and pretty much anything we ask her to repeat she'll usually at least try. She can tell you the Sheep says "baa" and the cow says "moo" and the cat says "meow". Now we just need to get her to work on saying it to everyone else and not just us.
