Julia is 1 Month

Happy 1 month to Julia.  And happy downloading pictures finally to me!

Julia all suited up to go to her 1 month appointment.
The watchful big sisters are never far from Julia.

last week, she started to "wake up" a bit more.

Adapting to life in her bouncy chair chaos (not chaotic at moment)

"Mom, enough with flash already!"

And lest anyone think life is always staged and perfect, here is a realistic view of our current temporary headquarters.  This is my bedroom, office, den, storage unit, nursery, changing station, etc.  We closed on our new house last week.  Our contractors are starting today, and alleleuia, we should be moving in the next couple of weeks.  I can blame the state of this room on our temporary situation, but who knows, maybe I won't be any neater in our new digs! 
There is a baby lying among that mess of cookbooks and paint samples...
Don't let this picture fool you either.  It is the first time I have been dressed in a month - with hair and make-up done too.  And only because we had 2 doctor appointments and a trip to OMG, register Elliot for Kindergarten ... and because Kassi is around to help out again.  
Auntie Wendy found matching Puma outfits for Sam & Julia.  Don't tell adidas we are cheating on them.
Samantha always comes in our room and says, "Can I have some appetizer?"  And by this she means "sanitizer" because she wants to hold Julia.
Look at that gorgeous profile!

I think that Julia is an awesome mash-up of baby Elliot and baby Samantha! Hooray for more pictures, hugs for you all.

yea!
cute pictures.
and I feel better b/c that is pretty much what our room looked like 1 month after June was born, too.
Funny, though, I didn't have the moving excuse...
