Juli & Co.

Moving again.

This past year has been full of growing for our little family. Growing in number as we added our precious Emily to the family. Growing in faith as we trusted in our Lord and took on a challenge that most definitely took us outside of our comfort zone. Growing as a couple as we learned to rely more on each other. Growing as a wife as I learned that despite my own reluctance, my sweet husband knows what I need and what I want and always has my best interest at heart. Growing as a mommy as I learned what it means to truly do it all. No more Nana or Aunt LaLa's or Aunt Mamy's. No date nights. Just us. 100% us. And...I found my confidence as a mom.

Something else happened as well. I realized that I could be happy anywhere as long as I have my family. My kids and my husband are my greatest source of happiness, satisfaction, and inspiration.

I cannot believe my sweet Emily is almost six months old. She is such a happy baby and we are having lots of fun with her. She has just started trying her first foods. So far she has had bananas, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas. She seems to like all of the foods about the same. She is still learning how to eat from a spoon and makes lots of funny faces when we feed her. And she still does the gag, shiver, gag response to most foods. But then she smiles and kicks her feet and lunges for more :) And she is definitely working on a few teeth. She usually has two fingers in her mouth at all times, biting and chewing and lots and lots of drool. She is going this week for her six month appointment with the pediatrician so I will update with her stats then.
