I thought I might have seen Julia wave goodbye to Alec this weekend - so he will get the official "first wave" - but I wasn't certain at the time because it was fairly subtle. But now I'm sure she's starting to wave bye-bye. As Karla was taking her out for an afternoon stroll, she told her to wave bye-bye & her little arm went up & down. We both got excited & told her to do it again & sure enough there was our little missy waving back at me. :)
I'll try to get a video of it & post it shortly.

Busy Week!
Julia got an international postcard this week from Nonna & Grandpa in London. We're expecting to talk to Nonna & Grandpa later today & are very excited about that!
She's been super busy working on pulling herself up, so we got her a new toy to help her with that. You can see how excited she is - watch closely & at one point you can hear her make a breathless sound, which is what she does when she's most excited:
We're going to need to lower the crib mattress this week. I'm going to try to do that later today after she wakes from her early afternoon nap.
Finally, she had her 9 month checkup on Wednesday & passed, with flying colors - as we all knew she would. I was concerned that maybe I was feeding her too much solid food, but Doc said it's OK. She's an eating machine & I hope that her willingness to eat a large variety of foods sticks with her. She got a follow up vaccine shot for HepB & a blood test - which required a prick to her little finger. She took the shot & the prick in excellent fashion. However the blood collection was a bit tough as they had to squeeze her poor wee finger to get enough of a sample into the collection tube. It probably only went on for about a minute, but it seemed to take forever. :(
Here are her stats from her visit:
Weight: 20 lbs, 5 oz (75%ile)
Length: 28.25 inches (75%ile)
Head Circumference: 44 cm (50%ile) - they obviously don't measure cheek chubbiness or she'd break the scale!
Basically, what this tells us is that she's gotten a little longer & leaner over the last 3 months.

Double Fisted
I was complaining to Chuck & Carol a couple of weeks ago that Julia will pick up everything & stick it in her mouth - that is, everything EXCEPT food!
Today Julia changed her mind about that.
