Julia's Walking

We took this video of Julia yesterday. She's now taking more than just two or three steps at a time. The other day she walked across more than half of our bedroom all by herself. I must say I was quite impressed. What you see in the video is something Julia was working on at therapy too...being able to stand up and walk. She's making progress and of course we're so proud of her!

New York Trip 4/24/10

Julia enjoyed playing with her cousin Tyler while in New York. He even played peek-a-boo with her and she loved it.


Julia and her two cousins Tyler and Molly are posing for a cute photo. It's not easy getting three kids to smile at the same time but it came out cute anyways.


Julia got to meet Uncle Chris, Aunt Sherry, and Chelsea again. We had a great time visiting everyone in New York. Thanks so much to our families for everything. Julia got to meet about 30 friends and family while in New York. We look forward to our next visit.

New York Trip 4/23/10

Julia had fun at the park with her cousin Chelsea. This is the park Julia's mommy went to when she was little. It was the first time Julia went down the slide...she wasn't quite sure what to think. We've been down the slide at a park near us since then and now she loves it.


The park even had some bucket swings...Julia loves the swings. We always go on our swing at home so I'm sure she was missing it.


Julia was having fun with Grandpa. Look at those big smiles!


4 generations on mommy's side of the family.

Nana Farrell got Julia this cute cup that says Julia.

Visiting with Nana Farrell.


Julia loved crawling up and down this tiny little step. She kept going back and forth many times.


Aunt Anne and Uncle Mike came over Nana Farrell's house to visit and see Julia even though Anne had surgery a few days earlier. We're so glad we got to visit with you and that you got to meet Julia.

New York Trip 4/21/10

Visiting with Grandma.


Julia has been walking more and more. Grandma's steps were very easy for Julia.


We had to take a picture outside Nana's house with all the beautiful tulips.


We even got to play outside since it was such a nice day.


Just a few days earlier Julia took her first few steps. She's even standing alone for a few seconds too. She's working hard and getting more steady everyday.


Julia really liked Jess and Jess was so nice to let Julia get her nose.


Nancy became Julia's new best friend once she brought out a plate of bananas and strawberries...two of Julia's favorite fruits. How did she know? Julia ate her fair share of fruit that afternoon.


We had to have a picture of Julia with the Boyce's. We're so glad we got to visit with you and look forward to seeing you again soon. I think I can see Eric's eyes ... but just a little. :)

New York Trip 4/20/10

Julia did great traveling to New York. She took her morning nap in the car on the way to the airport and even took a short nap towards the end of the flight. She really enjoyed being able to play with this toy gumball machine once she got to Nana and Grandpa's house.

Riding on the Lion

Julia loves pushing and riding on the lion. She just recently learned how to go backwards while sitting on it. We'll have to take the lion out on the driveway one of these days once the pollen clears up. She's such a little cutie and we're having so much fun with all the new things she can do!
