Julia's Workout

I checked out a Mommy-Baby yoga dvd out of the library, and JB really seemed to enjoy the workout. Here we are in the basement, making sure that Julia gets her reps in!

Bumbo!



Julia's hard work with her neck control is paying off! She has a new "Bumbo" chair to sit in while contemplating her feet- one of her favorite things to do!

Julia and her puppy, all Tucker-ed out..

After Julia's hike at Treman Park, she was exhausted. And so was Uncle Tucker, Grandma and Grandpa's puppy. Everyone slept well after such a busy day.

Hiking Treman Park

Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan came to Ithaca for Memorial Day weekend. It was the perfect opportunity to take Julia for her first trip to Robert Treman Park. She was in awe of Lucifer Falls, though you might not be able to tell since she's snuggled in her carrier. Thanks for taking the video, Grandpa!

Chatty Julia!

Julia's really finding her voice. When she gets going, it's hard for her to stop. Once she knows her words, watch out!!!

Dancing with Daddy

Julia and Daddy spent some nice time dancing one Saturday morning.

Totally mastering tummy time...

Julia's getting pretty good at "tummy time!" Since the SIDS police say sleeping on the tummy is a no-no, Julia needs to work on those important upper body skills during designated tummy time. What used to be a horrific ordeal- for everyone- is actually getting easier. :)

Julia undercover...

Julia was nicely wrapped in her blanket, snoozing in her swing. Or so we thought. When we peeked in, she was taking everything in without letting on that she was awake! A spy in the making? We shall see...

Mother's Day cutie...

Julia made Mother's Day a special treat for me! She slept through the night, picked out an adorable card, behaved through brunch and church, and was a peach all day! Here's a long and unedited clip from our lovely day.

An Interview with Julia B

Julia is getting more and more chatty with each day. Here she is, chatting with Daddy. She's got a lot to say! (Not a surprise knowing her Mama.)

Little Piglet!

Julia's neighbors, the Smiths, gave her a Piglet outfit to wear when she goes for a walk. Here's Julia modeling the outfit with her Daddy!

Spring Pictures!

Julia's becoming a big girl! At her 2 month appointment, she was 12 lbs and 24 inches. Growing like a champ! She's becoming more and more expressive and responsive, which has been AWESOME for her mom and dad. She's "talking" up a storm and smiling and cooing lots.

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks. Cut and paste the link into your browser to view! (And if you know how to post a live link, let me know!!!):

Abby comes to visit!





Julia hosted her friend Abby for a play date last week. Abby was born the day before Julia, and her mom Katie and I worked together at Alumni Affairs at Cornell.

It was great to see two babies of the exact same age! Abby was much better behaved. Julia was a little touchy about sharing her toys. We'll need to work on that.
