Oh Jules!

Julsie Pulsie is getting so cute. Here is an update on my little JLO.

- She has 7 teeth now

- No, she can't walk yet. She refuses to let go of your hand. She is so stinkin' close though. It should be any day now.

- She is a fast little crawler and does a crawl on her hands and feet (not her knees) that makes me laugh.

- She can often be found raiding the food cupboard in the kitchen. I had to move the prunes because I think they're a choking hazard and she was always in them. This weekend, at various times, I found her in the box of Cheerios, her Gerber Puffs, and a bag of mini schmarshmellows.

- She loves music and begins to dance anytime it comes on, be it a cd, commercial, movie, whatever.

- She is a climber and a little escape artist. Any time any door is open, she bolts for it. I call her the bird man of Alcatraz.

- She gives the cutest kisses. She leans in, makes an "aaaaa" noise and plants it on you. Many times, if she gives one of us a kiss, she then looks at the other one, leans, and waits for her kiss from that one... even if we're across the room! We, of course, run over to get that kiss... and it goes on like that back and forth, back and forth.

- She can definitely say "dada" and maybe "maaaaaaa" She is also working on Uh-Oh and I swear she says "good girl" although she hasn't said it in front of anyone else but me. Last night she was saying "Shhhh" and putting her finger, well, to various places on her face. =) We'll get there!

- Her little skin is silky soft and as brown as a berry. Even with SPF 50 she is getting a nice little tan. Her hair is really light now too and coming in more and more.

- Best thing ever. When you pick her up and put her on your shoulder, she'll pat YOUR back. Its the best little feeling.

- This week at the grocery store she has insisted on holding some food item. One day it was a protein bar. By the end of the trip she had managed to open it by herself and was sticking her finger inside and then licking off the chocolate coating from her finger. Another day this week I picked up some chocolate chips and let her hold them. She would not let go of them for ANYTHING. She held them like a little baby doll and cuddled up with them in the grocery cart "car." By the time we got home some of them were all melted together.

Oh my little JLO, JJ, Julsie, Jules. She sure is a cutie. We just can't get enough.
