11 Months & Vocab

Lots of new photos from August are on our photo-share website. Click on the image above to visit the site.

This summer has been a lot of fun. Julia LOVES the water. She’s not afraid of it. In fact, she tries to push our hands away. She’s a little dare-devil. She’s very close to walking. She’s been taking a couple of steps on her own since late last week. Moving from a table to a person, for example.

Her vocabulary is pretty big for her age…
mum, mummy
daddy
nun, nanna
pow (paul)
wahsat? (what’s that?)
uh-oh
book
duck
quack
moo
row, row, row (your boat)
e i e i oh (old mc donald)
emo (elmo)
up

Vitals

Julia is now 9 months (soon to be 10) and is doing great. She’s VERY close to walking on her own. She’s in to EVERYTHING. It’s funny how they KNOW what they SHOULDN’T touch and want to play with those things instead of their toys. She’s 20 pounds exactly. I *think* she’s 28 inches (or maybe 26, I forget – I will look later). She absolutely loves “school”. She is excited when we walk (or sometimes dance) in to the building every morning. Her “boyfriend’s” name is Jacob (Jake). And her “best friend” is her cousin Camden. She recently started “kissing” everyone… especially other babies. It’s funny. She’s very gentle. She can have quite an attitude too though… mostly when she’s over-tired and refusing to sleep…

Paul is 11 and is also doing great. He’s a super star baseball player – made the 10 year old (he was 10 when he started the season) All-Star Team. He’s in a tournament this weekend. Dave and I were talking tonight how quickly socialization changes… 7 girls recently “asked him out” and they constantly are texting and calling him now. OY!

David is good. We’ve got a lot to do with the pool this weekend. Although we do have baseball most of the weekend, so who knows what will get done. We’re anxiously waiting for some land court matters to wrap up so that we can have some work done on our house.

I’m good, but misrible. I have a HORRIBLE case of poison ivy. It’s all over my neck, arms, and right hand. Yucky. Work is good, but SO busy. Lots of new projects. I’ll post links when they start launching for the public. Not sure if I ever posted it, but here is a sort-of recent project launch: http://top10.patriots.com.

Alright, that’s it for now. It’s getting late and I’m tired.
