Learning to Vaccinate

At two months, Julia had her first vaccines today and now sports a hot pink band-aid:

We celebrated by going to Swingers, a diner near the pediatrician's office.  Here, Julia is meeting our waitress and placing her order (a milkshake, of course):

We left with a note from our waitress and a little t-shirt from the diner:

                                                                                                                           

Learning to Think

It's fun to read Julia's mind since her vocabulary is so limited right now!

"I think you have a slightly amusing point there."

~ ~ ~ ~ 

"I think your facts are not accurate."

~ ~ ~ ~ 

"I think that's an interesting point, but I'm not convinced."

Learning to Imagine

Julia daydreams and imagines what the future will be like for her.  Here she is in her tribute onesie to the band who sang a song with her name in it:

Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me

So I sing a song of love, Julia

Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me

So I sing of song of love, Julia

                                   

Learning to Grow

In this video, you'll see how Julia is growing (smiles and sneezes included):

Learning to Hug

Okay, well maybe it starts out as a burping position, but there is no doubt that when Julia falls asleep on your shoulder, it sure feels like a loving hug.  

Learning to Look

Mother's Day-- to see and be seen.  In this late night photo, I love how connected Julia is to what she is seeing. May we all continue to have these moments of connection with our mothers and those we love.

Learning to Work

Take Your Daughter to Work Day was sometime last week, but it's really every day since Seth works from home.  Here Julia gets a closer look at the writing and publishing business.

Seth asks three things of Julia:

1.  Be a good person.

2.  Be good to your mother.

3.  Keep my books in print.
