Keeping Busy!!

Where did I leave off??

Julia turned six months old this weekend! It is amazing how time flies by! She has been eating her vegetables...green beans, carrots, peas, and squash. Peas and squash seem to be her early favorites! She is still not quite crawling yet, but she is putting in a pretty good darn effort trying! She just hasn't quite figured out how to use her knees! Alex army crawled at first and, we think with a little more arm strength, Julia will be there in no time!

Julia started her swim class with Mommy yesterday. She didn't seem sure of it at first yesterday. She was very quiet and kind of just absorbed everything that was going on. Today, it was a whole different story! She was kicking, splashing, and screaming in delight! She is definitely going to be a little swimmer!

Alex has been busy as usual! He went to go see the Blackhawk Helicopter, Huey Helicopter, and C-130 flyover at the mini-Vietnam Memorial last Thursday with Meema and Papa! He had a blast and especially liked the big 'Star Spangled Banner.' He has also been hanging out with Meema while Mommy takes Julia to her swim lesson. They have been hitting the local parks! He told Meema that he couldn't go down one slide because it made him 'nervous' and that it was a 'bummer' that one of the swings she was pushing him wouldn't go higher! Mommy and Alex checked out the Children's Discovery Museum yesterday for their free day. It was a little crowded, but we still had fun!

As for all of us, we enjoyed spending Sunday evening with Meema for her birthday. We took her out to eat at the Cracker Barrel as always! Tonight, Mommy, Daddy, Alex, and Julia headed to the pool for some fun. Julia took a break from the pool tonight, but Mommy and Daddy took turns playing with Alex in the pool, floating in the Lazy River, and stomping on the water fountains!
