Wow! Do we ever continue to be busy or what?

The past few weeks have continued to be hectic and crazy! Aunt Tonya was home last week and Alex and Julia had tons of fun hanging out with her! We went to the park, had a picnic, went to Chipotle (of, course!), and had all kinds of fun with her! We were even surprised to find out that Aunt Karen and Uncle Ben were coming over Saturday night! Alex was his typical showman self and showed everyone how he can march to college fight songs! He is a character!

Julia finished up her swim class last week! She had a blast and mom was surprised to see that Julia passed her class. Not that Julia didn't do great, but mommy didn't realize it was a pass/fail class! Mommy thought it was just for fun! Anyways, Julia got passing scores for kicking, splashing, and comfort in the water, but she still needs to work on putting her head underwater and personal entry and exit from the water! She definitely can't get herself into a pool, but if mommy wasn't such a chicken, she probably could have put her head under the water!

More news with Julia: Mommy realized last night that she is popping her first tooth! It is barely coming through, but it is definitely there! We thought she would be toothless like Alex until 10 months, but it looks as though Julia has finally beaten Alex at something! Julia is also starting to crawl a little bit! It is more like a cross between an army crawl and swimming the freestyle, but it is getting her around!

Alex had another zoo class yesterday! He learned all about animals that lay eggs and even got to pet a millipede and a snake! No fears from him! We also checked out the butterfly exhibit at the zoo while we were there and Alex loved it! He loves to point them out on our walks as well!

Mike and Stephanie spent the day with us yesterday! They watched Julia while Mommy and Alex were at zoo class and then we went swimming! It was a hot day and the pool was crowded, but Alex had a blast as always!
