A Sampling of Attempts at the Holiday Photo

Neither child smiling, one bored:

Nathan silly, something in Julia's mouth (1 of 20 like this):

Oh, she's heavy:

See, this is not going to work!

Nathan is loving on Julia, but she's not having it:

Julia smiley and clapping, but Nathan blinked:

Somewhat dazed:

Neither child smiling, one bored (again):

Nothing in J's mouth (check), Nathan not too silly (check), pleasant looks (check), eyes open (fail!)

Watch your mailbox!  We didn't give away the best ones :)

Julia crawls!

Army crawl at a little over 7.5 months!  As Julia's aunt says, watch out Nathan!  (Poor quality action photo, but it captures the moment.)

Second Child

Julia is our much-loved, easy-going, super awesome baby daughter.  Also, she is the second child and by far, she is less photo-documented than Nathan.  This blog is mostly a scrapbook to mark the passing of time and the stages of our children, so here are a few pictures to record Julia at the seven month mark.  Clapping is now in her repertoire, as is playing with toys and just about scootching around.  She can inch forward to grab a toy.  Just tonight I caught her pulling up on the bathtub!  Yikes!
