Here’s a mish-mash of pictures from the last two weeks of my cutie pie.
My parents were in town for a tax conference recently. We got to have dinner with them and my Dad read Jessica a story before she went to bed. Don’t you like this photo of them with their granddaughter?

I’m rather fond of my baby girl and her Daddy. Aren’t they cute?

Jessica started crawling on hands and knees July 20th. A few days later, there was no more army crawling. Around the same time, she started pulling up and standing. She has become pretty stable standing up. She will even cruise along the length of the couch. Needless to say, the same day I took this photo of her standing up in her crib, James took down her mobile.

We’ve started playing more in her room (especially this week while the tile is being installed) and she has discovered how well she can pull books off of her bookshelf.

This next picture shows how fast her hair is growing. She got her first haircut the beginning of June and now two months later, she needs another one. Luckily, we’re seeing her Aunt Sarah this weekend and she will get another trim.

Yesterday, we met Julia and Aspen for lunch and then shopping at the Party Pig Superstore. The girls seemed to enjoy their shopping excursion. I have to say I really love the Floppy Seat. Jessica is constantly chewing/sucking on the straps that hold her in and I’m so glad the Floppy Seat comes with its own straps so she’s not chewing/sucking on high chair/cart straps that have been in who knows how many other kid’s mouths.

I’ll end with the last picture of Jessica as a two-toothed baby. I noticed this morning her upper right central incisor has erupted, which explains her recent fussiness.

I love the little girl’s shopping trip. Just wait until their teenagers and want to go to the mall together.
Jessica really looks cute in purple. It brings out her blue eyes.
Jessica looks a lot like you in the first picture of her and James. I really like her hair in pig tails. She does need a haircut. Trevor will need one too pretty soon.
Enjoyed all of the pictures. I think Jessica looks like you and James both. Looks like both the girls enjoyed their shopping trip. Those are good pictures of James and Jessica. I agree with your Mom that Jessica looks good in purple.

Great pictures! Is that a new signature?
Yes, you like the signature? I thought I’d try using one.
