Walk Before You Crawl



Julia got in this predicament all by herself! Once she got there she clearly didn't know what to do next! Times are exciting...sitting up, standing up, dada's and today Courtney thought she heard an "up"!

The interesting thing is she's not been a really aggressive crawler. Her cousin Ben crawls circles around her. Julia will take a crawling stride or two, and they've gotten effortless. She can definitely do it, but after a couple she gets up on all four and really presses to try to stand up. She even looks around as if she trying to find a way to straighten out and walk away.

Tonight she did the cutest thing. I was sitting on the floor next to her and she turned and took one crawl over to me and was trying to get up. So I put my arm out in front of her and she grabbed hold and pulled herself up. She then worked to maneuver herself closer to me and sort of dove into my chest and snuggled up. Daddy time has turned into my greatest joy!


Here's a picture of Julia chillin' with Uncle Louie, who recently moved to Salisbury. We're glad he's here. We're working so t6hat Julia is not afraid of every man that comes near her.

I know its been a while in between posts lately. We promise to try to do better. I'm sure that there will be lots more to talk about as the weather gets warmer!

That's how Luke was. He was cruising around furniture and then just started walking one day. But it is a whole other world once that happens. Good Luck! Oh and that top picture is too cute!
