The Unbearable Cuteness of Being
I have posted for your viewing pleasure the results of yesterday's 12 hour photo frenzy that included taking pictures at home as well as at Kiddie Kandids. Various flavors of cuteness abound. But my favorite is this one. It's a bittersweet favor because she looks so grown up here. She could not have been posed like this at any earlier moment in her life. This is the very first of many (I'm certain) pictures of her in this pose. And here is a hint of the change to come in her smile. I'm not certain when babies lose their huge, gummy, whole-face smile, but lose it they do (most of them) and in this picture is a hint of the different smile to come. Hopefully not a self-conscious smile, but a smile that looks less like laughter and more like posing. Beautiful, yes, adorable -- cheek-munching even -- but changed. Older. So I love this picture, both because she looks so cute in it AND because I delight in her growing. But still it pangs a little.
You can see the rest of the pictures at my photostream (find it by cliking on the Flickr thingie in the sidebar). The one of her sitting at the little desk is also particularly cute.

She Sits!
Ok, so she's been sitting for about 3 weeks now. So shoot me, I'm behind in the whole picture-taking/blogging thing. Oh well. More pictures of her first solo bath in the big tub here

Yet more pictures of Julia eating
All I can say is: Boy, Julia sure hates peas.
Just kidding. She loves them, but that look was just so precious I had to capture it. Here's a picture of her sucking them off her fingers in between spoonfulls.
And here she is eschewing the spoon altogether and just feeding herself. I'm not kidding. For about 5 minutes she refused the spoon and would only suck her food off her bib. A little gross, thank goodness the impulse passed.
And finally, here's just another funny picture of her in her Bumbo Seat. I call this shot "Bodiless Baby".
