February 11 - Little Helper

My fabulous hubby never ceases to amaze me. For another year in a row, he totally spoiled me for my b-day. Grandma Yamo came up this weekend and watched Julia one night so we could have a romantic dinner (it was totally a surprise, I thought we were going to try to do something tonight). Unfortunately, I
had a horrible cold that left me exhausted, but we still had a great time. It was only our second time out without the bean and while we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. Her favorite part of the weekend was helping me open a birthday gift-she loved the tissue paper and bows!!


So last night Jules tried another new food...bananas. She wasn't too excited about them and made the cutest faces when she was eating them. To date, sweet potatoes are still her favorite (I really thought she'd take to fruit more) but we'll see how her pallet develops in the coming months!

Julia has also 'found' a few things recently. Her wrists and her upper lip. I know, I know, it sounds funny. But she will move her hands around flexing her wrists and loves to throw things now. She also sucks in her upper lip (that is the only way I can describe it). It is really funny. She does it so fast it is hard to snap a photo.

Oh-and the sleeping 8 hours...that didn't last. She is back to up every 3. This little munchkin would rather play than sleep!
