Julia's 5th birthday party

Julia almost sitting up!!!!

Oh my gosh!  I am so excited : )  I came into our family room just a few minutes ago and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw our 4 year old daughter, Regan, playing in Julia's new play area we set up for her.  The reason I thought this was Regan, was because what I saw was someone in a "sitting up" position.  But it wasn't.....it was Julia!!!  She still had her hands on the ground, propping herself in this position, but WOW....go Julia!  I managed to run and get my camera really fast and got two pictures before she rolled over to her back.  I have shown pictures here on our blog of Julia up on all fours, but she had not yet started heading to the sitting up position.   She has been loving this play pen area with colorful foam mat and lots of toys from Beyond Play.  Our Julia is getting stronger and stronger everyday.  Oh, and before I forget.....she is now 28 lbs. 2 oz.  That's up 12 lbs. 10 oz. from her weight of 15 lbs. 8 oz. when came home with her almost 6 1/2 months ago.  She has also gone from 18m clothes to 3T.  We are amazed.  Praise the Lord!
