Juliette is moving around so much these days. She is even getting up on all fours and taking a few crawling steps. It seems to take a lot of energy for her to do and after she goes a little ways up on all fours she goes back to her tummy and slithers along. When she slithers she moves very quickly.
Ella and Juliette are starting to enjoy one another more and more. We love to watch them interact. Ella is even learning to share things with Juliette. She will often bring her a toy and say "there you go Juju". Other times she grabs a toy away from Juliette and says "let go Juju", but when it comes to posting things on the blog we like to focus on the good. Doesn't Ella look so sweet and innocent? That is not what we were thinking last Tuesday afternoon when she flushed a cloth diaper down the toilet. She normally helps out when we change Juliette and puts the wet diaper in the bag where it belongs. This time she decided to flush it down the toilet. When I asked her where the diaper went she said "in toilet, diaper bye-bye". When we finally came to the conclusion that we couldn't fix the toilet on our own, we called a 24-hour plumber who came and snaked the diaper out of the toilet pipe in the middle of the night. Thanks Mr Rooter!
Apparently Ella is not impressed with sharing her reading time with Hudson. But when he leaves our house she often says "Hudson come over". I guess the grass is always greener.
We all got out for a walk together last week. Hudson and Juliette rode in the stroller while Ella held my hand.
Here is a cute video of Ella "tickling" Juju. Juliette enjoys all the attention she gets from her big sister. Ella is starting to be really affectionate towards her baby sister. She sometimes just goes up to her, gives her a kiss, and says "I love you Juju".
Our dear Juliette turned 6-months-old on Wednesday. She is such a fun baby and she is doing some great things these days. She eats very well, and she can squirm across the room quite fast. She also gets up on all fours and rocks back and fourth. It seems like she is just about to take off crawling. She loves to smile and watch her big sister in action. Juliette, unlike Ella, also loves her soother. We love you, Juju!
