Laughing

Julia's "talking" and giggling is perhaps my favorite thing in the world. :)

Jujubee Goes to RI

Sorry for the delay posting new Julia material! Sometimes there isn't enough time in the day to shower, let alone post photos and video of Julia B - though we're taking lots of both. (And I always thought that not having time to shower was a total new-mom cop out. Boy was I mistaken!)

We took our first road trip while Bill was on his own trip to Columbia for a baseball weekend. My mom came up to Ithaca to drive us back to RI, which was a HUGE factor in the trip going so well. When Julia needs to eat, it adds an hour to the trip. And when she needs to eat twice...well, you can see how a road trip can become an epic adventure!

Julia had a chance to meet many of her RI relatives, including Great-grandma Holt and Great-Grandma Sullivan. She was a super baby, allowing herself to be held and snuggled by all who came to see her. She's a loved little lady!

Here are some photos from the trip:

Daddy's Trick

While playing with Julia, Daddy figured out a little trick to distract her from a fussy-fit.

Thank you, Pi Phi!

The fabulous women of NY Delta showered the littlest Pi Phi Angel-to-be with a basket of goodies! Claire and Katherine came by earlier this week bearing an adorable whale-motif basket with several outfits, toys, and their favorite board book "Chicka Chicka ABC," for Baby Julia. We've read the book several times during feeding time, and JB seems to love the rhythms! They also brought a great play mat for Tummy Time! What generous sisters we have!

This video features Julia in one of the outfits they brought by (which Claire insisted upon, I think!) and doing some MAJOR tricks on her new whale mat. I can't believe we actually caught a roll-over on video!

Grandma Cindy comes to visit!

Grandma Cindy made the long trip from California to visit grandbaby Julia Barbara. She's getting her share of snuggles with our Jujubee. And she's even been able to catch a few Cornell baseball games!

Daddy's Baby Bear

Cornell baseball opened up conference play this past weekend. After a split with Brown on Saturday, the Yale game was postponed to Tuesday. Julia B made it to both outings, providing the requisite good luck to the Big Red on Saturday for their win over Brown in game #2. On Tuesday, she was ready for the elements in her mascot suit. She's a Big Red Bear in training!

Here's some video from the post-game with Daddy.
