Crawling, pulling self up, standing in crib...oh my!

I can't believe how fast time has flown with Julia. She is already 10 1/2 months old! Last week she started crawling, this week she pulled herself up in her crib, and she's working on pulling herself up elsewhere, including crawling up a step! She loves to walk while you are holding her hands and she is full of smiles! It has been such an amazing journey with her. Truly fascinating! Every day it seems she learns something new (yesterday included taking everything off her play center shelves!).

The challenge lately has been napping. She just hasn't liked to do it...and that doesn't work for mommy and daddy. So we've been researching and trying new things, and hopefully we've found the answer...as I write this, she is 1 1/2 hours into her afternoon nap! A couple days ago she napped a total of 25 minutes...all day! Umm, yeah, that's not cool!

We absolutely love her to pieces though. I don't think we can show her just how much! There are only so many kisses you can give her without annoying her. :)

And as for Kiley, she is doing great! We still see her about once every week or two and do dinner or ice cream or something. She just moved out into an apartment of her own. We are so thankful God has orchestrated it that she is in our lives...she is such a gift!
