Julia - 4 weeks old

I can't believe that Julia is now over four weeks old. She is definitely growing larger. Last night we went to the Dari Delite and for the first time I saw a baby smaller than her. I'm so curious to know how much she weighs but I'm going to have to wait until her 8 week doctor's visit.

The first two pictures that I'm posting are very special. In the first one, Julia is lying on a quilt that was made for her by our lovely friend Dianne. Be sure to click on it and see it enlarged so you can appreciate all of the incredible detail that was put into it. The little people near Julia's feet are particularly cute. Thank you so much Dianne! We have scouted out a spot in Julia's room and are going to hang it up. Next we have a picture of Julia hanging out on the quilt that Grandma Julia and Patsy made for her with love. As I type she is lying on the quilt checking out the world around her. I think she'll enjoy playing on this one (as soon as she's into toys). In the picture below you'll see Karen working her magic with Julia. Karen babysat Julia while I attempted to go on the annual canoe run. Unfortunately the wind was not cooperating and I ended up having to abandon the trip to return home to feed the little monkey. On the bright side, everyone else had a wonderful river run - including Daddy who was well entertained by a gal named "Candy Hot." (aka our good friend Janna)Karen had Julia so cozy that she slept like a lamb on the couch. Well it is a hot and muggy day here in Freddy beach. A perfect day for a stroll in a shady park. I think we're O'dell bound pretty soon. Until next time, we're off to enjoy the lazy hazy days of summer.
