Just catching up on some pictures...We spent the last weekend in March in Houston for Dad/Papaw's birthday. It was a fun weekend for us all.
Julia was so excited to see Mamaw and Papaw! Plus, while we were waiting for a table at the restaurant she was the center of attention and had lots of people tell her hello.
Julia really enjoyed this wooden rocker, which her Mamaw sat in as a baby too! Melanie's Uncle Mike recently refinished it and it looks as good as new.
A good group of family and friends came for dinner to celebrate Dad's birthday. Upon Dad's request Mom made feijoada, Brazil's national dish, which she learned to make while living in Rio de Janeiro. It is a delicious and hearty black bean stew filled with pork chops, sausage, and ribs - served with white rice, kale, and oranges.
Julia enjoyed her food too!
Beautiful wild flowers growing in the backyard.
Julia sat on Papaw's tractor, but was more interested in watching Acie and Abbie run around the yard. I'm sure she'll love riding on the tractor when she gets a little older.
After months of being in her car seat while we shop, Julia finally gets to sit in the cart like a big girl. This was her first time to ride in a shopping cart and she loved being able to see all around her. I couldn't get her attention in this picture because there was too much going on in the parking lot. 
We took Julia to her first baseball game to see the Round Rock Express (minor league team for the Astros).
Julia's first Easter. After church, we went to lunch with our friends, Richard and Kassy. Julia thinks Richard is funny, which is why she is laughing in this picture. Click on this picture to enlarge it and see her two bottom teeth!
Of course, Julia loves magazines. She usually isn't allowed to play with them because she destroys them and usually finds a piece to chew and dissolve in her mouth. But I let her go at it this time for fun. This is another good shot of her teeth.
