Julianna Swimming

Yesterday Julianna went swimming for the first time. She LOVED it!

We had my grandparents over for lunch yesterday and we ate out by the pool. After we were finished eating, I decided to put Julianna's feet in the pool by the steps. She stood on the step for a minute and then kept trying to sit down. So I got her in her swimsuit and in we went. She had the BIGGEST smile on her face when we got in the water. She kicked her little feet and splashed the water with her hands. Jon blew up her little floaty and once she got in, she laughed and smiled the entire time. She really got the hang of it too. She would kick her little legs to try and get from one side of the pool to the other. She loved being pulled around by us and passed between Jon and I. Later we put her life jacket on her to test it out. It's a little on the big side, but she didn't care. She loved floating in the pool. She wasn't afraid at all. She kicked her legs and moved her little arms and tried to lick up the water that came near her mouth. It was SO funny!

She didn't get in the pool today, but hopefully she will get in tomorrow. It's so fun watching her grow! We love her so much!

3 New Accomplishments for Julianna!

What an eventful weekend for Julianna!

Julianna learned 3 things:

1.) To Crawl
2.) How to sit up from being on her tummy
3.) How to pull herself up in her crib. She is now able to turn on her mobile all by herself!

I thought she would never crawl. I figured she would just start walking because she loves to do that with us, but I was wrong! I will try to get some video and pictures of her newest accomplishments.

YAY Julianna!

Julianna's Investments

A Call From The Bro

Yesterday we got a call from my brother!! It was so great to hear his voice! He sounded tired and he had a cold, but otherwise he is doing very well. Hopefully he will get some sleep in the up and coming days. He said he is in a safe zone, so that's comforting to know and right now he is just doing office work. However, talking to him makes you miss him more, that's for sure!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Julianna got me a cute card and some beautiful flowers! We also get to go out for ice cream with Daddy when the weather gets a little warmer. I love being a mommy and can't wait to have more kiddos!
