- On Thursday, May 28th, Julia got a third tooth! Her first two teeth came in around 4 months on the bottom and now she has a third tooth next to those. We think she might be getting a fourth on the other side, but that has yet to be seen
- On Friday, May 29th Mike and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years already. Some days it seems longer; other days it feels just like yesterday. So much has happened since then! What did we do to celebrate? We took a 6 hour car ride to Wisconsin with Julia and ate at McDonald's (twice-needed to stop twice for feeding and potty breaks).
- Also on Friday, May 29th, the Stephany family welcomed a new member, Thomas Joseph. (My first cousin once removed; Julia's second cousin-I think that is how it goes). We were actually going to Wisconsin for my cousin Jenna's baby shower and Thomas was not supposed to make his appearance until June 30th, but he had other plans. He was born healthy and breathing on his own. He weighed 5 lbs; 10oz and we got to visit him in the hospital. Such a little peanut and such a cutie!
-On Friday, May 29th we spent the night in Sauk Prairie, WI visiting Mike's parents. Mike's dad is still recovering from all the events of the past 2 months and we wanted to visit and have them see Julia. She was a delight and a ham as always and hopefully brought some cheer and get well feelings to Gary.
- On Saturday, May 30th, we drove to Campbellsport to visit my family. We had lunch with great-grandma Voelker, Grandma Stephany and cousin Ainsley (Aunt Heather and Uncle Dave were at a wedding). It was a fun time.
- On Sunday, May 31st we visited cousin Jenna, cousin Nate and new cousin Thomas in the hospital. We of course brought them their gifts because they need the supplies!
- The rest of the weekend was spent playing with cousin Ainsley, Grandpa Stephany, daddy, Aunt Heather and Uncle Dave.
- On Monday we took a nice long 6 1/2 hour trip back to Minnesota and then rested. We were beat. Below are pictures from our fun weekend. Remember to vote on the new poll to the right!
-In other news, Julia has started to show some separation anxiety. She is getting especially clingy to mommy and prefers to be held by me. Even when Mike is holding her, she will reach out for me to take her. I try not to give in, but sometimes those big, brown eyes just melt my heart and I have to take her. She also shows her protest when I leave the room for even a second.

Wow, you can stick that whole block in your mouth?!
Ok, my turn to try to get the whole block in my mouth.

More PJ fun!
Cousin Ainsley, Aunt Heather and the Ham (I mean, Julia). :)
I love the pictures. Julia is such a ham, but it is so adorable! I especially loved the morning PJ fun. It was like Ainsley was trying to show Julia how to get up on all fours and crawl.
ReplyDeleteAs you saw this past weekend, Ainsley also has some mommy separation anxiety. Although, this week she seems to have gotten better.
