Somebody's a Bookworm

This was a funny moment that I managed to capture last night. I'm so proud of my little reader who is almost too focused to eat her dinner.

February is not so bad

I am spending the first nice Saturday in February on the computer.  Three snowy Saturdays in a row and I had to pick this one to blog.  It's worth it to show all the fun we have been having for the last month, though (even if we spent most of it inside.)

This girl has been all about learning some new tricks lately.  My favorite is sharing with Mommy and Daddy.  She loves to give us things.  She will share her Cheerios, her toys and whatever she happens to pick up in her travels around the house.  I don't know how long this will last but it's so sweet.

I recently switched phone plans and had to move on from my beloved (but very distracting) blackberry.  I let Julia play with it for awhile and it really was like Christmas for her.  She ALWAYS wants my phone and can never get it.  She just spent one sweet afternoon with it, but I'm pretty sure she still dreams about it.

Julia also learned what the dog says. I think Jack helped her learn this trick. She will bark when she sees a dog, when she hears a dog and just whenever we mention dogs. Incidentally, she also barks when we open the curtains (Jack definitely is responsible for that one)

Julia has been having some great times with her friends this month, too.  We got to spend time with Will last week.  She had so much fun with him and he put up very well with the fact that she is a baby and not all that cool yet.  This picture is so cute!

Our dear cousin, Ellen also made several appearances at Juja's house.   

And we got to see our buddy BellaRose and her precious sister Hollings!

Julia has been on the move lately.  She is getting tired of her tried and true army crawl and has started to experiment with the real thing.  I sort of thought she would skip this step because her army crawl was so efficient.  I am glad she didn't, though, because her new crawl is so cute to me.  

And it has helped her learn to do this:

Other than all that, we have pretty much been hanging out, waiting for some warmer weather--which is finally here!  Hopefully you will see some outdoor pictures on the next post.
