Corpus Vacation

A couple weeks ago we went to Corpus with my in-laws like we do every summer. I was excited about Julia playing at the beach and the pool. Last year when we went she was about five months old, so I was excited to be able to do more with her. We has such a great time! We went to the aquarium, ate wonderful food, spent time with family, and enjoyed the beach and pool everyday. Julia loved the beach and the pool! She was fearless with the waves in the ocean, laughing when the water came in and splashed her, and fussing when the water went back out into the ocean. It was nice to be able to spend time together as a family, enjoy our little girl and watch her blossom.

We have a walker!!

Well, we finally have a full-fledged walker on our hands! About a week ago, Julia took off walking. Before then she would tease us taking four to five steps at a time. Then last week she started taking a longer string of steps at a time. By the weekend she was walking all over the place.

It is amazing to watch her! I feel like we have waited so long to get to this point and here we finally are! Julia is so proud of herself, walking around. Here is a cute clip I got on my camera of her walking around. She's calling out, "Baby" because she wants to see the pictures of her in the camera. Julia loves to look at the pictures we take on the camera and watch video we shoot on the video camera. Andrew and I have to sneak video of Julia, otherwise we will get a video full of her calling to see the 'baby.'
