Gone Fishing

Go Titans!

Who is going to control that remote this season?

Listen, Mom, we know it's also your birthday, but we have priorities here!

I picked up my girl from her babysitter on Friday with purple toenails!  My friend Susan (who was watching her) was so cute and nervous that she had painted them.  She said she only did one coat just incase I didn’t like it.  Kudos to her for even getting one coat on!  But seriously what would I not LOVE about my baby girl have her toenails painted!  I will however wait several more years before those ears are pierced…just don’t feel like keeping up with that right now!

Can you find it?

If you are a parent of a child under the age of 5 (or know someone who is)…you must sign your child up for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (www.imaginationlibrary.com).  Once signed up (requires very little info), your child will receive a FREE book EVERY month until they are 5!  You heard right!  The service is available to anyone…I didn’t have to offer any financial information when signing Julia up.  Hooray for free books (and nice ones…our first one was a hard back copy of The Little Engine that Could!  And Hooray for Dolly Parton!

The second thing you should know is:  I may or may not have obtained a CDL license last week.  But incase I actually did…if you ever need someone to drive a bus for you (must be without air brakes)…you just let me know.

Julia on the 4th of July - sporting her festive outfit sent from her Cupcake.

My sweet girl is four months old this week!  WHAT??  Seriously John and I at separate times got a little bit sad looking back at her baby baby pictures.  How has she gotten so big already?

Here’s the latest “Julia at 4 months” list:

• Stats: 15 lbs; 24 inches long (perhaps she’s not going to be as long..er tall..as we first thought.  However she has officially doubled her birth weight!)
• Loves to: chew/suck on her fingers or even her whole hand, “talk” – she will coo at her lion, the wall, or anyone that will listen, SMILE!, sit in her Bumbo chair, take baths, lie on her playmat and grab the toys and snuggle with her Momma when she’s sad.
• Not a huge fan of: extended tummy time, shots in the leg, loud/startling noises, too much people time, those darn hiccups that continue to plague her once a day almost every day
• By Month 5 I am almost positive I will be telling you that Julia: giggles, rolls over and sits up by herself!  She is so close!

More and more this last month we have realized that our daughter is an easy-going, happy girl.  She is just so much fun.  Every day is more fun than the day before.
