Happily tearing paper


what??


Silly Daddy


Her secret stash!












Nope, not the same moose, but Mama's a good internet searcher! ;) Took a chance and went online and found what I thought was at least a close possibility to our lost Moose (no he never turned up, I seriously think she slipped him into the trash that day while she was helping :( ) so I ordered the one I found online and it's the exact same Moose!! YAY!! Julia was so happy to see him in the box that came in the mail, I'm sure she thinks her original one was just on a trip or something. Needless to say she is keeping a very close eye on this Moosey and has yet to put him down for more than a few minutes at a time. She never did really attach to anything else while he was gone either and would oh so sadly ask for him every night, sometimes only once a night (thank goodness) but every night. I'm so grateful and relieved we were able to replace this one. Oh if only everything were that easy.

I'm sure you noticed the tearing paper pictures above, we are not quite sure what to make of this, but Julia will quite happily and contentedly shred any paper she can get her hands on til it's in the tiniest pieces possible. We caught her the other night with this left over wrapping paper, you can see in the last picture she had been at it for awhile, so yes I knew she was tearing paper, but after a bit I guess I tuned out the tearing noise because I knew it wasn't anything important that had fallen into her hands. Should I be worried about this?? It's just such an odd thing to me but fascinates her for some reason.

You may also notice how big our munchkin looks in the latest pics. I'm going to have to find a new nickname for her I guess. We finally noticed the other day while chatting with another friend that Julia had indeed had another growth spurt. Funny how I'm the last one to notice these things, so we measured her that night. 37 and 3/4 of an inch tall! I knew she had grown but wasn't expecting that much at all! We still have to weigh her but I'm sure she's still around 27lbs or so, I'll be very shocked if she's gained much more than that. But then she shocks me daily. She's starting recognizing shapes now too. We haven't worked a whole lot on that, but I guess between what we have done, Noggin, and her puzzles it's sinking in for her. I love this age!

There are a couple of more videos on Dropshots, one from a night at Chuck E Cheese back in January for Bradon's birthday the other is another one from this weekend with her Moose. :)
