We moved from Martinez, to North Augusta, to Augusta over the span of about 6 weeks. We are beginning to get settled in, but there are still plenty of things that don't yet have a home. One day. We really love the new neighborhood! It's a very established neighborhood with many of our neighbors having lived here for 20+ years. The ones we have met are so sweet and we feel welcomed. Tensy is enjoying the new backyard and Joanna is busy "crawling" all over the house.
Speaking of Joanna she is now so active! I am planning on trying to catch some cute moments on video to post. She is beginning to understand "no" and will immediately stop what she's doing if I say the word. That doesn't last long though and a few seconds later she's back at it. She started belly crawling at about 8 months and she's still getting around that way. She can easily get on her knees but flops back down on her tummy to move. She can easily move from lying to sitting and sitting to lying and is just beginning to move to tall kneeling and attempt to pull up.
When she's in the mood, she gives me kisses when I ask for them. It's precious! She will also give the animals in her "Ten Busy Buzzy Bugs" book kisses. She has such a sweet disposition. She hates being spoon fed and much prefers the independence of finger foods. She still loves avocado and banana, but has also learned to like peas, green beans, mango, yogurt, cheerios, and cheese.
7 month shots.
In May, we went on vacation at the lake and spent time with the Candler side of the family. Here are some vacation shots with Gretchen and Aaron.
Joanna and I also went back to the lake for the 4th but Ben couldn't come because of his new job at the VA. We missed him but had some good family time.


8 month shots
And 9 month shots. There are a lot because I got so many cute expressions. She's not so happy in a few of these but it's still so cute.
I haven't taken 10 month pictures but am planning on it this week! Will post soon, promise!
