10 1/2 months!

Got some good ones this post. The picture of Julia in the pink and red striped shirt is the best shot we've got of her two little "teethers" coming in. Look closely! First noticed them two weeks ago and they still aren't showing too much! Hoping we can attribute some of our recent midnight wakings to those two culprits :) (Note pic of Julia sleeping on Kyle (Kyle was sleeping too after a rough night!)) Looking forward to this week's graduation festivities - hope to see lots of you there on Friday. Next post Daddy will be a doctor!

April Fun

Pictures from Cousin Mallory's 2nd birthday party, and a shot of Julia climbing the stairs like a pro - all the way up 14 at our house! Today she also made her first sign - eat! She is a growing girl! Looking forward to the graduation festivities coming up in two weeks. We are also excited for the arrival of Cousin #2 - Scot and Kendy are expecting and due May 20th! Hope everyone is doing well!

Cruisin like crazy

Pics of Julia cruisin with her walker - she is walking while holding onto just about anything now, climbing stairs (made it up all 3 of G&G R's steps last weekend!) and is pretty much getting into everything. Fun, but scary too! Anything is fair game and if it is dangerous or icky (Bailey's toys), Julia makes a beeline straight for it! Pics of her first experience with grass (albeit still semi-dead). This was her first time sitting on it and she wasn't sure what quite to make of the odd texture!

Spring Fun - more Match Day & Easter

Julia joined Kyle up on stage to open his envelope for residency match. The Grandpa's and Jules.

Some more pictures of Easter too - Julia found "her" Easter egg, and she and Mallory show off her new matching sandals. More later this week!

Happy Easter!

Oh the fun we had! Match Day went well - more on that later! We will be in Omaha for another 4 years! Julia had a great Easter - got to see both sets grandparents, the great grandparents, cousin Mallory, and had an easter egg hunt to boot! It was a great day - a whopping 30 degrees, but fun nonetheless! In the last week she has said "Up Mama" with her arms up in the air (can't yet repeat that feat, but it is going in the baby book!) and is waving to Bailey! Hope you all had a great Easter - Happy Spring!

An update!

A walk on a nice springlike day and a ride from Dad on the Julia Train!

More pics this week after Match Day on the 20th

9 months old!

Julia is now 9 months old - she is officially crawling forwards - not backwards! We have had two "Shrimp" swim classes and she is definitely enjoying playing in the pool with mom and dad (although she did not like sitting on the edge of the pool - note picture below :)). And mom had a lot of fun picking out Julia's first swimsuit (love the pink tutu!) Its been fun - now if we only could get to and from the door to the gym without worrying about the cold weather! We also got a good picture of her "Sooo Big" that we added this week.
