We love the Bumbo

Julia loves her Bumbo that her B bought her (or bungalow as John calls it). She's just gotten big enough and has enough head control to sit in it by herself. She's doing so good and loves anything where she can sit up by herself.

Julia's First Swim

Julia went to Raylie's birthday party and got to swim in her cute bathing suit for the first time. John said the water was cold, but she didn't mind. They had a good time swimming and can't wait to go try it out again at the beach next week! You can tell she might have her momma's skin...she's white! At first she had a complexion like her daddy's, but she seems to be getting whiter and whiter.

Father's Day & Baby Dedication

Today was John's first Father's Day. He said he really enjoyed it and that it was really cool having her dedicated on this day. Julia gave her dad a cute card for Father's Day and he got a deer rifle (kind of strange buying him a rifle for Father's Day, I know...but he really liked it). Lyn and Nette came to the dedication service where Julia was dedicated to the Lord and we dedicated ourselves to bring her up in the ways of the Lord. Our family that was present also dedicated to pray for her and support our family in raising our sweet baby girl to love and honor Christ. Today was such a special day and she looked so beautiful in the dress her B bought for her. John even ran out yesterday to get her another lace headband to wear, since we somehow lost her other one:) Oops! She's really got a great dad!

2 Months Old

Julia is two months old now and we cannot believe it! She is growing so much and doing so great. We have just about outgrown our colic stage (yea!) and can now roll over occassionally and hold our head up so well. She is starting to try really hard to laugh, she gets really excited and tickled and all that comes out is a little squeal. It's really cute though.

Working Out!

Julia has been working out for the past few weeks with her Nette everyday. Today (since now I'm off for summer) I started going with them and she has such a great time. She hangs out in her car seat until she gets tired of that and then Nette does exercises with her. Julia's a perfect weight to do lunges, squats, arm curls and crunches with. I don't know what's going to happen when she gets bigger and bigger (Nette's going to have to keep getting stronger). This little one is getting in shape...well maybe just getting us in shape!

We will miss you!

Julia is going to miss hanging out with her friend Noah so much! Our best friends (Skip, Amy and Noah) are moving to Louisiana. Skip is a youth minister and has been called to a new church. We spend so much time with them and it is going to be so hard when they leave. Noah is Julia's super-helper. He brings her bottles, pacifiers and loves playing with her. He's getting practice because Amy will be having a baby in November! We love them so much!
