Okay, I know Becky just did one of these but I really have been planning this post for quite awhile so I'm doing it anyway. We have just been having a lot of cousin time recently.
We spent a few days with Cousin Ellen in the last few weeks: shopping, hitting the pool, visiting Nana. Stuff like that. Such fun times. Ellen really is as sweet a cousin as her mother says. She always smiles at Julia and in that first picture she had just finished rocking Julia's seat back and forth. We love Ellen so much.
Then last weekend, my parents, my sister Steph, and Julia's cousin Camille came to visit while Nick was out of town. Julia loves this cousin too. It was so fun to see them stare and smile at each other.
The cousins also had some good times with the grandparents.
Other than all that cousin stuff we've been doing very well. Julia is getting to be such a big girl! I realized one day not too long ago that she is no longer a newborn. She is holding her head up so well and she's so much more aware of everything around her. It is so neat to learn more about her personality, too. She is such an observer. She will just sit back and watch and listen, especially when she is in a new place. When she's comfortable she will talk your head off but it just takes her a little while. I think she's a little like her mama.
Julia also recently conquered the swaddle! She no longer needs it to fall asleep and in the process has learned to suck her thumb, which is so cute. I will try to get a picture of that for the next post.
In the meantime, thanks for reading and keep in touch!

I love that you guys have had so much time with family. That last picture of Julia smiling is adorable! She's so lucky to have so many sweet cousins!
Ok I feel like I have lots of points to make
Julia is such a good cousin! Ellen is in love with her, I'm so glad we got to meet Camille when she was here. Julia has buddies no matter which family reunion she attends!
Her face in that picture with Camille on the play mat is so cute. And she looks so proud of herself for conquering the swaddle in the picture in her crib, it's like when you just can't stop smiling even when you try not too!
There can never be too many cousin posts:)
This was a great one!
She is really growing up so fast and she looks so cute with all her cousins! it is so great that you live so close. That is something I didn't have growing up (cousins close by) so it's so cool to think of it happening! Course I was at least 10 years younger than all my cousins too.. so being so close in age as well, will be fun!
love you all!
Thanks for posting so many pictures! I Love that last smiley one in her Aden and "Anai" sleepsack. Those three girls are something else! We had so much fun on our visit and it was a great surprise to see how in to each other Camille and Julia were. Of course, Julia was just sweetly gazing on her cousin, with a big smile, while Camille was making every effort to grab her face. (Yes Julia definitely has some of her mamma in her.) I think we saw the beginnings of a long friendship.
Cousins are wonderful! In a couple of years they will seem like they are exactly the same age like Lucie and Annabelle.
