Entertainment
Julia really likes to watch the clothes in the washer. If she's in the Saucer in the kitchen, she leans back as far as she can to look into the laundry room. Yesterday I sat her in front of the washer while I made my lunch.

We're late on her pic this week! We finally took this one on Weds.
Not that we needed any more onesies, but I've been waiting for this one to go on clearance so I could justify buying it.
Forward Crawl
Julia's been getting better and better at going forward. Her technique is not traditional but gets the job done. (It's really more of a butterfly stroke than a forward crawl.)
She doesn't go crawling around the house on her own quite yet. There has to be something she wants fairly close in sight but a bit out of reach. Basically, if there's an object in front of her that she's not supposed to have (especially paper), she will go get it.
This evening I used some newspaper as a carrot to lure her all the way from the living room to the kitchen. I just put in front of her, and whenever she got it, I'd move it a few feet farther. Finally (at the end of this video) she managed to rip a piece off and almost had it for dessert.
I was going to lead her back to the living room, but Laura thought she'd had enough exercise.
Pickin' peaches
Julia is a fast grabber. Several times when I was leaning forward to get a peach, she would pull off a handful of leaves to eat. She was also very interested in the peach I was peeling.
