Happy 7 Months Baby Girl!

Growing up so fast!

My beautiful outfit made by cousin Mandi! It has an airplane and my monogram.

My very first swing ride on Valentine's Day!

My very first slide!

My first Valentine's Day!

Showing off my army crawl

Trying so hard to grab it!

Investigating......

So glad Daddy bought sunflowers for Mommy!

All that fun playing wore her out!

A nice nap in the park enjoying the shaded sunshine.

The car ride home.

Happy Valentine's Day morning!

More of the photo shoot.

Trying to grab her hat!

Big smile for her hat and her monogram!

Showing off our pretty lake and her pretty blue eyes!

Grab your hand weights and get ready to exercise!

Leg lifts!

Her new tricks include blowing raspberries, sticking our her tongue, spitting, and any many other weird movements.

Our new playmat from Mommy's friend Amber! It's so pretty

Sneaking this in...Kathy and her first baby.
Just the quick update-
Julia turned 7 months on Tuesday. She's been enjoying trying Puffs this week and has learned to feed them to herself. She's still not quite crawling forward - she is a very fluent roller and twister though and seems to prefer to move forward using a combination of those moves. She is so much fun to be around as she is learning so much. She is so observant and loves to meet new people. She has been holding her hand out and shaking hands during "Pass the Peace" at church. She also holds her arms out to be held and for things she wants. She seems to love babies and kids already and gets very excited whenever she sees another baby. She also goes crazy for her Mom's Cabbage Patch Doll (video to come soon).
Kathy always works so hard for our family. I'm so proud to call her my wife. She's been getting very involved at church and will be writing the church bulletin. She finished working on our taxes today and we are getting a great return (Thanks Julia!). She's been busy with her part time job and getting things very organized. She been working hard with Julia and teaching her lots of new songs and games. Kathy was finally able to sneak away last week and get a hair cut. It's about six inches shorter and looks great!
As for me, we will be using some tax refund to fix my car up. I had a great Valentine's Day with my girls. It's so nice to get out into the sunshine again (it was cold for Florida the last few weeks). Julia wrote me a beautiful poem and added her handprints too. I love getting home from work and seeing my girls.

Julia and her Daddy

Julia wasn't so sure about this - but in the end she loved it!

Happy Valentine's Day



My first tooth! Nope - just a Puff!

"I'll get you my pretty."


Julia loves taking showers!

Bonding with her puppy!

She loved eating mangos and holding her own bowl.

Julia is too cool for a sippy - she prefers a big girl cup!

On your mark, get set, go!

Best Friends Forever!

Practicing my crawl - up on all fours!


Happy Valentine's Day. Love you all!

Be Mine

I love my stacking cups.

"People all over the world, join hands, start a love train, love train..."

Her first fort!

Peaches!

"Somebody get me outta here!"

Going for a walk with mom and Dagny!

Sweet Potatoes!

Funny face

Snuggling with Daddy

First time on all fours! Scooting backwards
