Stretching!
Not so sure about playing with spaghetti during sensory play at Play 2 Grow (she liked the cheerio day much better!) |

Julia started "school" today at St. Anne's. She is not so sure about it but we will keep trying and hope that she grows to enjoy it. Here are the requisite first-day-of-school-pictures at the house before she got going for the day.
I went through Julia's diaper bag when we got home. The teachers had put a Scholastic book brochure in there! It does not feel like that long ago that I was bringing home those same brochures and begging my mom to buy me a book. It then hit me that it was probably 25 YEARS ago that that happened!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my. |

Earlier this month, we went to Wild Dunes in South Carolina with my mom's whole side of the family -- 27 of us altogether! Julia enjoyed eating sand, splashing in the tidal pool and inflatable pool and raft, and playing with her cousins. Unfortunately, I barely took any pictures! Here are a couple from the last day --
(Thank you, Daniel, for letting us borrow your pirate ship raft! And thank you, Aunt Mary, for all of our gear!) |

A couple weeks ago when we were at the beach with my family, Uncle Rob took some 9-month pictures of Julia. Thank you, Rob -- they turned out great!

We had a great weekend in West Point visiting John's family and Julia woke up on Sunday morning with her first tooth! Most people can't even see it yet, but it's a definite bump and you can see a little white on her bottom gum line. This morning, I actually think there may be two bumps -- maybe she will get her two bottom teeth all at once. Poor girl has been hurting some -- thank goodness for Dr. Roe's suggestion of baby ibuprofen. It lulled her into a long nap this morning -- two hours and counting. Here are some pics from John's dad's house where we got to swim and visit with Grandaddy, Martha, Aunt Mary Martha (aka summer roommate), Uncle Richard and Aunt Rebecca and cousins Leighton and Elliott.

Yesterday evening, Kitty passed away after likely having congestive heart failure. Kitty was 12 years old and John had had her since she was a kitten. They saw each other through thick and thin -- from West Point to Atlanta to Huntsville and back to Atlanta. He loved spending time with his Kitty. Her obituary can be found at http://blog.johnscott.net/. She loved being in the new house and having a yard to explore and trees to climb. I am not a cat person but as far as cats go, Kitty was really great. It was so fun to watch Julia watch Kitty. She desperately wanted to crawl like Kitty and get Kitty to play with her. Just yesterday when Kitty was not moving around much, Julia crawled right up to her and started petting her. Julia is not the most gentle petter and I feared cat scratches and agitating the sick Kitty, so I intervened and tried to help. I know Julia won't remember Kitty in the long run but I do think she misses hearing her "meow" and seeing her walking around the house, peeking her head into the nursery. Here is a picture from the early spring when we were all outside -- Kitty is on the right by the fence!

Here is a link to a slideshow from Julia's 6-month photo shoot --
www.lauranegriphotography.com/slideshows/scottII. Next up is 9 months (less than a month away!) and I have already asked Uncle Rob to bring his camera to the beach to take them! |

I struggle with how I want this blog to play out. Do you really care that my daughter can crawl like an inchworm, is babbling a lot, likes sweet potatoes or can sit up from laying down now? I don't know...but I am very proud of and amazed by her! I cannot seem to get around to filling in the baby book so this may need to serve as my memory when I do get around to it. I have taken a picture of Julia every week on the same couch with the same pillow so that I can track her growth through pictures. It is getting much harder because she wants to eat the card with her age on it and/or turn over and roll off the couch. Here is a sampling of her at 35 weeks and 4 days old...
Look how far she has come in 35 weeks...

Happy (belated) Father's Day to John and both of our fathers! We were able to celebrate John's first Father's Day with most of our families this weekend -- only missed out on Uncle Rob. Julia loved swimming in Grandaddy's pool in West Point on Saturday. She adores being in the water -- whether it's Lake Burton or the pool. Hopefully she will enjoy the Atlantic Ocean in a few weeks! Then, John smoked his first babyback ribs on the Green Egg at our house on Sunday for my parents and Uncle Richard. I tried ribs for only the second time in my life. As I said on Sunday night, I liked the taste but not the concept of biting little pieces of pork off of a bone.
I finally learned how to post pictures on this website so check back often -- I am going to post much more often than before (which shouldn't be too hard!).
Panama City Beach, May 1, 2010
With Grandaddy, June 20, 2010*

*Julia's facial expressions are no indication of how much she loves her grandfathers. They are more indications of being hot and tired.

I couldn't resist bringing back my wordpress blog at blog.johnscott.net. Julia and our family news is usually much more exciting, but I still need an outlet for my thoughts, web surfing, and a place to post any kind of media I want. So hail the old blog. |
