So, I was at Wal-Mart the other day and couldn't resist buying these outfits for our new baby due in July... Yup, we're having a boy! :) The jungle pajama set was the only thing that wasn't on sale. It was $7. The other 4 were $1.00 each! So, I was super excited to get 5 outfits for only $11.00. My first purchase for our son... :) It's gonna be so much fun having a son! I just started feeling him kick at 20 weeks. The first time I felt him kick, Ethan was sitting on the couch with me, so I let him try to feel it too and he felt 2 kicks! It was a special moment to be able to experience that together. Since then, I have been feeling him more and more. I have a feeling he will be more active in the womb than Julia was.
Our Julia is already 16 months old! Now that she has started walking, it seems like she is taking off in so many other areas too. She is starting to follow directions and loves "helping" me close the refigerator door or throw things away for me (I just have to watch her to make sure she doesn't throw things away that don't belong in the trash!) :) She is able to eat with a spoon and fork now without making too much of a mess. She is babbling a lot and even tries mimicking many words we say say. The only words she says super clear are: "Mamma" and "Dadda." The other words she tries to say are "balloon" (brrrr), "cheese" (chhhhh), "banana" (nana), "dog" (doh), etc. I know there's more words, I just can't think of them at the moment. She loves hugging her teddy bears and dolls (and kissing them) and rocking them in her arms (such a girl!). When I read her books that have dogs or cats in them, she loves kissing the dog or cat. She also loves playing with her toy firetruck, police car, and bus. She will be a good sister to a brother since she seems to like "boy" toys. She makes the fire engine sound for all 3 (I'm trying to teach her that not all vehicles make a firetruck sound :))
Here's Julia with her daddy, hugging her teddy bear.
I love her smile (she only has 7 teech (4 on the top, 3 on the bottom). But, her mollars on the bottom are getting ready to come out.
After the superbowl, a lady at Ralphs offered Julia this superbowl balloon for free. She loved it so much (she loves balloons and can spot them anywhere we go!)
It is such a blessing having a backyard! The weather is starting to warm up and Julia loves going outside. We found this slide at a garage sale for $5.00! She enjoys it.
I love it that she can walk now. She loves walking around our yard and also enjoys playing with the rocks in the dirt.
It's so cute how she walks with her arms up for balance.
Sweet girl
We also got this car at a garage sale for $5.00.
Uncle Phil got to visit the night before Shepherd's Conference.
My friend Johanna had a baby recently. It is so fun to hold her!
Johanna has 2 other kids, Naomi and Nehemiah. Julia had fun playing with them at their house.
Johanna came with her 3 kids this week for a playdate. The kids had fun together. :)
