Stats update

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday to make sure that JB was making progress on her quest back to birth weight (8.5 lbs). She was a little bit off at our last visit, so we were encouraged to feed her more. Which she LOVED. She weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs yesterday and grew another 1/2 inch, bringing her length to 22 inches, which is pretty long for a baby. Looks like she's going to take after her daddy in the height department.

Julia's also working on her chatting. Here's a clip of her playing on her mat and talking up a storm. If we could just figure out what she's saying...

Catching up on our videos!

Julia's getting more and more accustomed to having her diaper changed. After eating she doesn't seem to mind it at all! We already need to keep a watchful eye on her while she's on the changing table.

New pictures on Kodak Gallery!

Hi everyone! It's been a busy week, but we've got some new photos of Julia Barbara and her adventures.

We've had lots of family visit, and Grandma Judy even stayed for a whole week while Daddy was in CA for spring break with Cornell baseball. Grandma Cindy is going to get her share of snuggles when she comes on Friday!

We don't have any pictures with Grandpa or Aunt Pammy due to a camera malfunction, but I'm hoping to get some from my mom's camera.

Also, to expedite the upload process, the quality of photos is not great. If you'd like a higher quality photo for printing, etc. please let me know and I can send it to you!

She's not always so perfect...

In the interest of full disclosure, we included this video. She's not always so perfect, but her fussy moments are few and far in between. Here's one of them...

Time to read!

Julia has a book of black and white images that she's really into. She reads it everyday. She's dying to find out how it ends.

Feeding Time!

As cutie as Julia is, she can be pretty funny- and a little gross, too!

Jujubee and Auntie Pammy

Jujubee and Auntie Pammy had a chance to bond this weekend!

Julia Barbara Meets Uncle Tucker

Uncle Jamie Visits

JB and Uncle Jamie bonding. They had some pizza, a beer, and watched Syracuse beat West Virginia in the Big East tourney. Yay 'Cuse!

Wake Up!

Some of my favorite moments with JB are those just as she's waking up. I don't know if she gets cuter than this. We may have reached our limit. :)

Play time on the play mat! Julia's getting some practice batting her hanging toys around. We're pretty sure she has no idea what's going on, but it makes for some entertaining video!

Jujubee goes Big Red

Julia B shows her Big Red devotion by humoring Daddy and Mommy in Daddy's baseball hat. We hope she never grows into it!!!

Stretching!

Sleepy Girl

Julia is a pretty sleepy baby. Here are some photos from today's napping. :)

Tummy Time!

Julia spent some time on her tummy today, exploring her play mat. It'll be a while until she can fully appreciate all of its bells and whistles! But she's so much fun to watch! :)

Julia's Trip Home from the Hospital!

And here's one more video of her third day of life! Mommy and Baby get ready to go home from the hospital while Daddy catches the event on film. :)

Julia w/Aunt Julia, Narrated by Grandma Judy

More video of Julia Barbara- affectionately known as Jujubee. :)

Her Aunt Julia and Grandma Judy came to visit in the hospital. Here she is being very alert!

Baby Julia Has Arrived!

Weighing in at 8.5 lbs and measuring 21.5 inches, Julia Barbara Walkenbach arrived on Friday, March 6th at 2:34 pm. Mom and Dad are INSANELY excited to have her here after a 41 week wait!

We've already learned some of her favorite things- sucking on Daddy's finger among them. Here's a video of her doing just that!

Waiting for our Walkenbaby!!!

Our first post on our family blog!!!

We've been patiently awaiting Baby W's arrival for many months now. February 27th was the due date, but Baby seems to be especially comfy in the womb and isn't yet making any moves toward the wide world as of March 4th. But we know that Baby will come along at just the right time. Mom and Dad are pretty anxious, though!
