Houston, we have lift off!

This weekend Julia finally figured out how to crawl. She has been doing new things all week including going from sitting to a crawling position and back again. This afternoon she decided she wanted to read the Sunday paper that was sitting on the floor and crawled to get it and rip it to shreds (at least parts of it). She is also starting to pull herself up onto stuff, like the mantle seat. She has already bumped her head on this, so we had to put a bunch of bumpers around it. Julia is now crawling all over the place and we are just amazed at how much she is getting around already.

This weekend Aunt Beth and Uncle Jim came to visit. We had a fun weekend of playing video games, sitting out on our deck and eating lots of good food. Unfortunately, they left before Julia started her new found skill, so they didn't get to see it. Today, after Jim and Beth left, we were very tired. Daddy was especially tired, so Julia and I headed to the MOA for a little shopping while daddy rested and napped. Julia was also going stir crazy in the house, so I had to get her out. It was too hot to be outside, so I thought the MOA would be a good place to hang out. We spent about 3 hours at the MOA and Julia loved every minute of it. We ate lunch there and did some shopping for our trip to St. Lucia in December (since all the summer stuff is on clearance right now).

Here she goes....
And she's off!

Just browsing the Sunday morning ads....any good toy deals?

Ripping the paper (or cutting out coupons)
