February 24, 2008

Well I think that I can officially say that Julianna is walking. She is walking about as much as (or more than)she is crawling. She still looks like Frankenbaby and is wobbly, but more and more she is choosing to brave it on foot rather than drop down and crawl. I am awed by these little ones' bravery. If I fell down just about everytime I tried to walk - sometimes actually hurting myself - I'm not so sure I would keep trying to walk. But they do (and I guess I did). I'm also a little sad to say goodbye to crawling. I just think it is the cutest (and shortest -she has the rest of her life to walk) stage. Before Julianna's bath we often strip her down in her room and then let her crawl down the hall to the bathroom naked. Ryan says she looks just like Smeagol (a.k.a. Gollum) from the Lord of the Rings. She is teeny tiny skinny and her head looks rather large on that tiny naked body. Oh I will miss you little Smeagol!!

Here are a few pics from the last few days:

Oh, how I'm going to miss the "Little Smeagol" also. You are the cutest baby that ever lived, and now will be the cutest toddler. You are growing up way too fast, though. I'm trying so desperately to hold onto all these moments as they pass. I love you,

Oh Ryans comments always make me cry. I hate how fast the time goes too. The third picture of Julianna and the flower is amazing!!!
