January 14 - Sweet Potatoes

Happy January baby Yamo fans. I apologize for the lapse in recent postings, work has been very busy lately and I haven't had much free time.

In Julia news, I have lots of fun updates. First and foremost, our little bean loves her tummy time now!! Starting last week, she started sleeping on her tummy (we checked on her in her crib one night and to our shock, she was all comfy, sprawled out on her stomach). I haven't taken a photo yet but I will try to this week and will post one. It is really cute. She also loves to play on her tummy and can rotate 360 degrees to her left. She hasn't mastered the right turn yet, but it is only a matter of time. She can also get her knees up underneath her and reaches for toys in front of her, but hasn't quite mastered using her arms and legs at the same time. She is trying really hard though!

Julia also started eating her first veggie..sweet potatoes! J.D. utilized our food processor and made a huge batch of homemade sweet potatoes and she seems to like them. Although she gets distracted by the fun watermelon pattern on her little bumbo chair, she still manages to eat the majority of a helping. We'll probably introduce another veggie this week, possibly peas. Hopefully she likes them too!


In other fun news, Jules has really taken an interest in the dogs. She tries to pet them quite often. We were all in the car this weekend and she tried to get Guinness's attention by blowing bubbles at him and reaching out to him, it was adorable!! He still pretty much ignores her, but Amelia loves to give her kisses (J.D. does not approve of the dogs licking her..but I don't mind, I say it builds immunities!). Whenever Julia and I are playing on the floor, the pooches are right next to me, so it is a fun playtime for everyone (I suspect the dogs are equally interested in all of her toys that resemble dog toys).

And last but not least, Julia received her first cabbage patch kid from Nonni. According to her birth certificate, she is actually a few months older than Julia, but I'm sure they will be friends at they get older (so far Julia just tries to eat her hair). And most fun..the cbk is named Jewell Doris-fabulous name!!
