Busy Summer

Julia's second month was a bit more challenging than her first. She was quite fussy and really only liked being held. The moby wrap was our friend most evenings during dinner, bath and bedtime routines. She was not a big fan of any seat including her car seat. She was usually okay after we started moving, but she would scream every time we stopped for a red light. She was especially fussy after eating and ended up trying Zantac at about 6 weeks and oh what a difference. Julia became a content and happy baby.

Aunt Holly, Margaret and Anne came to meet Julia in mid July. Gammie came with them too! We were able to make it up to the mountains several times and even managed to stay longer than a weekend a couple of times. Gramma and Grandad spent a week in the mountains too in late July and Granpa came up for an overnight to help Joe at the new house in early August.

Ivey has been into umbrellas all summer with all of the rain. She got her very own umbrella and wants to use it everyday. She had a ball dancing in the rain at Shops on the Parkway.
