Journey with Julia

Love from around the world.












Truly this child is loved. She's still got birthday gifts coming in. Check her out going through the box from Aunt Tiny! Did we mention she loves tissue paper?? LOL Seriously though she had fun looking at all those new clothes too. Some really cute stuff there Aunt Tiny! Aunt Donna we got your package too. She loves that little stuffed bird. It's so soft!

And you all have just got to see her wooden shoes from Holland! Thank you, thank you Ms. Noelle! Someday one way or another we will get to visit again with you and Tom and Noor! Miss you all!

I just had to add the other picture of her hamming it up for the camera. She played with some friends yesterday and I think she picked up crawling on her knees from her little friend Cora, she's been sticking with the low-crawl til now. She was paying close attention apparently to how quickly little Cora was getting around. So I guess she decided to give it a try. She did it some last night and again this morning, but she'll drop back to her low crawl when she gets excited and in a hurry. More used to it I guess. She's so funny. She's also learned to really climb that step quickly to get into the kitchen. And once she hits the kitchen floor she will try to speed up if she thinks you're going to stop her. Daddy's out now buying a gate. haha.

We thank you all for your love, support and prayers for Julia. Life with her is beyond a joy. Even with the teething and not sleeping that we've gone through this past week. She finally slept through the night last night for the first time in a week. And is having a nap now, so hopefully those teeth are giving her a little bit of a break. Who knows maybe the rainy day (praise GOD some rain at last!) is helping too. I know it makes me want to curl up with a blanket. Other than her teeth, she is doing wonderful and even those don't slow her down too much. She still has such an open easy personality that we learn more about each day. Time to go check on her. :)
