Mom and Dad's visit

My parents were here this weekend and went to the zoo with us. Here's another zoo pic (didn't all fit on last post).
Julia sucks her right thumb to put herself to sleep. Here she is on my dad's shoulder - she was asleep but must have known I had the camera, so she woke up to smile for the camera (and pulled her thumb out). What a ham! In other Julia news, she eats two solid food meals a day now. She likes everything she has tried, but avocado is by far her favorite. I put her on the baby scale yesterday (thank you, Taffy!) and she's 20 pounds! I looked in Grant's baby book and he was 18 lbs, 12 oz at her age. She is actually looking a little thinner these days - maybe from all of her floor exercises.
We also made Valentine's cookies yesterday. I overcooked the first batch, but after that they turned out great. Grant loved decorating them. The cookie closest to the red icing ended up with about 8 ounces of icing. I'm not sure if I'll feed that one to Grant or not :)
And as a special treat for all who view this blog, a rare picture of me. Enjoy - there aren't many out there!
