Happy 10 month birthday!

Julia is 10 months old - no doctor's visit this month, so her unofficial weight is 22 pounds and height is 29 inches.


We are loving this stage! Julia is a joy. She loves music, dancing and playing peek-a-boo. She loves her family and friends and still knows no strangers. She loves the blue block that came with the walking toy from cousin Hunter. She loves to stand up and can balance for a few seconds at a time. She doesn't say any words yet - still grunting and squealing - but is very expressive. She has the most beautiful smile and a great laugh. She even joins in when she hears other people laughing.

She's a good eater - likes most food, especially peas, fruit and yogurt. We give her "puffs" and she likes those but is not good at getting them into her mouth on her own. She's dropped to nursing 3 times a day. And she's also a good sleeper (how did we get so lucky?). She takes 2 naps (about 1 to 2 hours each) and sleeps 11 hours at night.
