We spent the long weekend in Charlottesville with Andrew’s parents. It was a perfect way to spend the holiday and we all had a fabulous time. Julia got to spend time at the pool each day which she LOVED. I was amazed by how comfortable she was in the water. There’s a ramp that goes into the pool and she just walked right in and kept walking… even when the water was up to her chin… and her nose! She spent several hours over the weekend splashing around. It was pretty funny and makes me very excited for our beach vacation later this summer!
The other thing that we have noticed over the past few days is that there have been quite a few moments when Andrew and I have looked at each other amazed by what Julia is doing. She’s becoming a very independent toddler!
One example was last night after dinner. We were hanging out before bed and Julia decided to color. She went and got paper and crayons and settled herself on the floor:
Then today she and I did our first painting project.
And I was able to put her hair into a ponytail in the back of her head for the first time.
She has also been expressing her independence in other ways, especially when she has an opinion that does not quite match her parents’ but the pictures wouldn’t be nearly as cute! :)
