9 months

In Julia's first 9 months, we packed up our home (and life) in NC, and headed back to Indiana. With all of the chaos of moving and getting settled, we were a little late in getting her 9 month photos taken. But here they are! She and Elaina did a great job.

 At 9 months, Julia has 4(!) teeth. She says Da-Da, Ma-Ma, hi, and bye-bye. She is an army-crawler and she pulls up on EVERYTHING. We have to watch her closely, or she will DIVE out of our arms to get something she sees on the floor. She's a busy girl!

Goodbyes…

Our last Durham Bulls game… bittersweet.

Memorial Day Fun

Elaina could NOT wait to get her pool out after her nap today. This is Julia's first experience in a pool- she loves it!

6 month photos

We had Julia's 6 month photos taken this morning. She and Elaina did a great job! Thanks to Grammy for making the reversible dresses that made for an easy wardrobe change! Thanks to Matt for remembering that the dresses were reversible.

Spring!

I can't believe it is already April. That means I have successfully neglected rounds of house cleaning, piles of laundry, "meal planning", and other domestic chores for the three months that I have been back at work. I would like to say that I "quickly" realized that staying on top of everything with a full time job and two kids was a joke, but I continue to believe it is possible to get "everything" done. HA.

Despite the disarray around here, we have had a little fun recently. Julia is 6 months old and full of personality.

She thinks Elaina is hilarious.

We took a trip to the North Carolina mountains with Matt's parents over their Spring Break. It was so QUIET up there!







Easter came along, and we spent time coloring Easter eggs, playing a round of mini golf (very traditional), and enjoying Easter goodies.







Yes, Christmas jammies even made an appearance at our Easter celebration.





Hope your Spring is full of fun too!

January

Before Julia turns 4 months old in in 4 days, I thought it was important to show off her 3 month pics! She is now laughing and rolling over. I've seen her roll over at least 5 times now, and Matt has yet to catch it once. I don't think he completely believes me that she's done it.



We've had some fun in the mild weather that this January has provided. Looking forward to spending more time outside in the months to come!
