Happy Mother's Day & Julia's Dedication

This weekend was my first Mother's Day! We also were able to have Julia dedicated at our church this weekend. It was a very fun Sunday. Many of my family members were able to come to our church and home on Sunday to spend time together! Julia's dedication was really neat. Josh and I are so happy to have found a church we really love. We are excited for Julia's future in our new church family. We are also excited to see her come to learn and know about Jesus. She is really starting to interact with everyone and her surroundings. She has also recently learned to sit up on her own, and now she is not very happy if she is on her back. You will definitely see from the pictures below that she loves to smile!

This is a picture of us during the Dedication. Not a great picture but I thought I would share.

Julia and her Papaw!

She is so cute!

Spring is Here!

Julia and I have been enjoying the nice weather. We started going to the park, and she really likes to swing. She smiles the whole time! It is so cute. We also got a new jogging stroller from the used baby store. We really like it. It is really easy to push and jog behind. Kali got very hot and tired one day on the trail, so I set her in the stroller with Julia. Julia didn't seem to mind. It was pretty cute!

Julia and her friend Jacklynn went to the park to play!



Julia got pretty tuckered out on Easter. There were lots of people to see, so she decided to take a nap on her Papaw. Autumn had some time off school, so she spent some time with me and Julia. Julia really likes her big cousin, Autumn.

Julia's First Teeth

They are hard to see in this picture, but the bottom two teeth are popping through!

Morgan and Ashley's Birthday at Stir Crazy.

My family all went to Stir Crazy (Josh and I's new favorite restaurant) for Morgan and I's Birthday!

Julia's First Trip to the Zoo.

Julia went on her first trip to the zoo! She really looked at all the animals as they moved around. She watched the fish, penguins, sharks, lions, and zebras. Then she tuckered out and had to take a nap. We went with my friend Jaime McCord and her daughter Jacklynn.

Here Julia and I checked out the sharks. She watched them as they went by. Maybe next year she will touch them.
Here we are with the zebras! There are three of them in the background. Julia was very excited to see the zebras, as they are her Mom's favorite animal!

Julia's 5 month Pics with the Carpenters

We decided to get a Baby Photo Package with the Carpenters. They are a couple we met through some of our friends who take pictures out of their home. Julia will get to have 3 more sessions with them over the next year. We are so pleased about the pictures. They are so good!

5 Months Old- She is getting so Big.

Happy Baby!

Not So Happy Kali. Kali likes the quilt Amy made for Julia!

Julia learned to roll-over from her stomach to her back. This picture is an attempt to roll-over.

So cute!

Julia and Mom

Julia and Kali like to take naps together. Look at all the hair she lost. :(

Julia and her Dad!

Julia learns to eat!

Julia started eating baby food around 4 1/2 months. She was not sure about it at first, but she seems to enjoy it more now.

The first time Julia had rice cereal she was not sure what to think.

Again the first time Julia had vegetables (Squash) she did not know what to think.

Green Beans!

Julia likes to sit in her Highchair. She often sits here while Mommy is making dinner and plays with her toys.

Still not sure about the Green Beans. Ewwwww!
