Beach Fun

After a long trip away from our home, Virginia Beach.. we decided to visit just that.. the beach. This was Julians second time at the beach but first real visit. The first visit,was a windy day and we just wanted to show him what its all about. Being a clean mommy, i didnt want Julian to get FULL of sand... nor try to eat the sand, so we stopped at walmart and bought him this real cute swimming pool and a hand pump that way he could play toys without the worry of them getting sandy Of course we left it dry inside, no nasty salt water in it, because knowing my child he would have found something in the water floating around and decide to eat that also!!!

Boy am i glad we decided to get it because he knocked out in the pool & had a good one hour nap. :) mommy got to relax and get some sun!

trip to louisiana

April 15- May 9th Julian and I were spending time in Louisiana while Josh was out at sea.

April 18- was my sisters wedding. Sadly, i didnt get many pictures and not even one of julian in his TUX- but i snapped one once we got home. heres a few pictures.





Also while there Julian went to the Zoo for the first time,





had his first play date with Makhi, they swam for the first together




had wonderful watermelon, which Julian LOVED!!



not to meantion Julian loved picking mawmaw flowers



my pictures from our trip are endless so i figured i had to pick and choose. Needless to say, we enjoyed our trip! but was happy to come home to see Daddy.




DID I MEANTION JULIAN SAID "MAMA" FOR THE FIRST TIME ON MAY 3RD! We woke up, and Julian was watching Mickey Mouse Club house and I was drinking coffee with my mom, when all of a sudden julian yelled, "MAMA"! i stopped, looked over to my mom and was like,"did he say what i think he just said?" ..she replied," no he said "MAWMAW". i called bullshit ran over to him, knelt down and said," come one say it again..ma..ma.. he looked dead at me and repeated," MAMA" AHHHH it was music to my earss!!

HEs getting ArouNdd!

Getting Sooo BiG

so i know i havent been posting many pictures of julian, but thats mainly because my computer is locked..and i just have not got it fixed yet so im using josh's computer which doesnt let me just put my SD card in it to upload pictures and of COURSE i cant find the cord that goes to my camera!! but stay tooned pictures of my big beautiful Julian will be posted in the next few days!! He is getting so darn big, he said his first word on the 1st of March!..Anyone care to guess what it was? MAma? DADA? haha NOPE..BA BA!! I always say, Baba when i give him a bottle, and lately i've been waiting to see if he responds when i give it to him.. yeah so sometimes its just baby babble..but on the first he shocked me and josh both when he repeated just as i did and said clear as day,"Babaa" i cheered with excitment and said,"good job jujubugg, BA BA." and again he repeated me! AH i was sooo pRouD of my little man!! Julian is still not crawling but is doing the army scoot. He will get around a good bit like that but then gets fustrated and fusses! Its at that point that he draws his knees in, ( so close to being on all four). idk guess he will get the hang of it soon! OHH also, he his front tooth is pushing through! His gums are all swollen, white and red. I bought a Munchkin net thingy,and i always give him fruits and frozen veggies in there for him to suck on! he loves it and i know it helps his gums.. truly that was a awesome invention!.. Sadly, Julian is still not sleeping through the night! i know alot of it is because he suffers with gas so badly at night..but man, im just waiting for the day to come for him to sleep through the night. we have changed his formula, and it has helped alot with the gas, and he is taking longer naps, and sleeping a little better so i can really complain. xoxo jonniLin and Julian
