Where, oh where, has Julia been?

First let me apologize for being such a lazy blogger lately. Julia continues to grow, develop and make us proud every day! Lots has been happening around the Hensley household so I will take the easy way out and just make a list!

• Turned 6 months old on August 2nd
• First trip to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Phil's Fish Market, the Mystery Spot, Capitola and LaSelva Beach
• Rolls around to get from one side of the room to another
• Scoots on her butt while sitting to make her way to a favorite toy
• Got her first "trim" (not a haircut, just a trimmed the long wispies)
• Still no crawling, she would rather stand up than lie on her tummy
• Moved from 1st foods into 2nd foods (baby food)
• Loves green beans and carrots and is starting to accept fruit (she makes the funniest faces when trying new fruits, must be way too tart for her!)
• Starting to drink from a sippy cup (Note: she refuses a bottle, so this is HUGE)
• Moved from bassinet to sleeping exclusively in her crib (this has been since June, just failed to mention it earlier)
• Says MomMomMomMom, though without meaning (still music to my ears!)
• LOVES, absolutely LOVES (did I mention LOVES?) to go swimming!
• Arranged daycare to start sometime in September (Mommy is having a hard time with this one)
• Is wearing size 12 months +
• Last doctor's visit weighed 18 lbs 3 oz and 28 inches tall (way ahead of her peers in height!)
• Loves to play with her friends at work
• Had her first (awake) visit to Will's resting place (all other visits she has been sleeping)
• Was featured in a follow up article in the Dameron Digest (Dameron Hospital Foundation's periodical)
• When not sleeping or eating, she laughs all the time, loves to play with Daddy, go to work with Mommy and spend time with Nana and Papa

I will post pictures soon -- I promise!!
