Beach Trip

Okay so I'm terrible at updating our blog, but here is a picture from our summer trip to Myrtle Beach. Julia loved it and had such a great time.

Julia's Crazy Tongue!

Julia loves to do funny tricks with her tongue. Right now this is all she does. When we picked her up from the church nursery today they said they had laughed the whole time at Julia with her silly little tongue. She also is in to putting everything on her head. She thinks it's so funny.

Giving Potato Soup a Try!

Julia tried to eat potato soup...well not really, we put it in her mouth and she just scraped it all out. She is not liking solid food at all. She eats baby food, but really isn't even that crazy about stage 3 foods. It's really funny to watch her try new things...we may have a picky eater on our hands!

Christmas Morning

Julia was so excited to wake up on Christmas morning. She normally wakes up around 7 a.m. but then will go back to sleep, but not this morning at 7 she wanted up and wanted to stay up! She was so cute in her pj's and had such a great time playing with all the toys Santa brought. Her Nette, Pops, B, Papa, Uncle Casey, and Aunt Courtney and Aunt Lyn came over for breakfast and brought lots of other toys for her to open. She had a blast and it was so fun to watch her play with all the toys and crawl through all the wrapping paper and boxes!

Christmas Tree Hunting

We started our first tradition this Christmas with Julia...going to cut down a real Christmas tree and bring it home to put up in the house. Julia had such a great time making crazy faces on the hay ride out to find the perfect tree. It was really cold, but we had a wonderful time. John cut down the tree for us and loaded on the trailer to take home. Julia was all cuddled up in a blanket with her daddy on the hay ride back. She was getting really sleepy from all the hard work.

Homecoming 2007
Julia came to the pep rally at the school and then got to be in the parade with the Pantherettes! She had a mum and everything!

Packed & Ready!

B & Papa!

Happy Halloween

Julia Ann Loves Her "Godfather" Mac

Julia had a great time in Austin. We went swimming and she got to meet all of her daddy's friends. Mac is said that he is going to be her Godfather. She was so cute and showed out for everyone. They got a real thrill watching her eat!!

Daddy's Homecoming

Julia and I got to go to John's Homecoming game. Julia was all dressed in purple and had a cute purple and gold mum. One of the streamers on the mum said "I love daddy". It was so cute. We had a great time and Julia was so good. We lasted until right after half-time, then it was time to go home and go to bed. Aren't the coach and daughter so cute together!

It's all about the Remote

It doesn't matter where she is or what she's doing...if she sees the remote, she's after it. It can be across the room and if she spots it, there she goes. She can't really crawl completely yet, but the army crawl she does gets her where she wants to go very quickly! Don't turn around too long or she'll be gone.

Julia Loves the Duck Tub!

At five months she could sit up good enough to move to the duck tub and she loves it!

5 Months Old

The sweet little girl turned five months old in August! I had to get a picture of her in her bathing suit in the water. She loves the water and this picture was so hard to take because I couldn't get her to stop splashing and trying to crawl out of the tub. She had so much fun! Her B bought her this suit and she loves it! When we took her swimming at her cousin Raylie's house, she looked so calm in the float on the water, but when you looked underneath her feet were kicking 90 mph! She's like a little duck and she can move all over that pool by herself.

Go Tigers!

For all the Clemson Fans out there!

Yummy Prunes!

Julia definitely loves her baby food. She started eating rice cereal and prunes at about 4 months and is still loving all kinds of food. Now, she's six months old and we're up to stage 2 foods and she is eating so well. We don't quite make such big messes any more, except occasionally. Right now she's teething, so she can't keep her hands out of her mouth. So last night while I was feeding her she kept putting her hands in her mouth and then wiping the food all over her belly and diaper. Needless to say, sweet peas were everywhere! Her Daddy had to work extra hard at bathing her after that!

4 months old

Julia was 4 months old in July. She loves her feet! I've had several people ask how I got her to hold her feet for this picture...the truth is, I had a hard time trying to get her NOT to hold her feet. Now she can get them in her mouth and she likes to ride down the road in her car seat leaning forward and holding her feet!

Family Pictures

These are the family pictures we had taken while we were in South Carolina. They turned out beautiful! We love them!

Bling, Bling!

Julia got her ears pierced today. We went to Wal-Mart and she got some sparkle earrings for her cute little ears. Her and her aunt Courtney both got their ears pierced together. Julia started crying when her daddy had to pin her down to get the marks put on her ears. But the tears really started flowing when they pierced her ears. As soon as it was over, the pacifier went in and daddy walked her around...she was fine! No more tears and they haven't bothered her since. She looks so cute!

I'm a big girl!

Julia has learned to sit up...for about 3 seconds...then she falls face first, so you have to be ready to catch her! She's growing so big. At her 4 month checkup she weighed 15 lbs. 15 oz. and was 23 1/2 inches long! Can you believe it? She's growing like a weed. We started eating rice cereal from a spoon about 3 weeks ago and last night was the first time we added prunes to it. I couldn't keep up with her. She loved it! In between bites that I was taking too long she would grab the bowl and put the bowl in her mouth. It was really funny! She's laughing out loud now and just found her feet last week, which has brought her a lot of fun!
