Julia's Birthday Photos

Julia and I took a brief trip to RI where we celebrated the big 1st birthday with my family. As you can see from the photos, it was a spectacular trip!

Birthday Tutus

Julia and her puppy pal Pearl both received beautiful pink tutus for their respective March birthdays. What are the chances?!? Here's a bit of video with the "girls" in their birthday finery.

Happy 1st Birthday to Julia!!!

A whole YEAR! Wow! Well done, Julia. Here's a clip from Julia's first experience with birthday cake. Granted, if was very much past her bedtime. She'll have plenty of opportunities to develop a sweet tooth. We're not worried. :)

Julia and Lincoln

Julia and Lincoln had a play date not too long ago. Julia was an excellent hostess, encouraging Lincoln to use her beloved Jumperoo. She even showed him how to do it. He graciously accepted the "help."

Our Funny Valentine!

Julia was well-prepared for Valentine's Day thanks to Aunties Pam & Julia and Grandma Judy. She even had some accessories to share with her dear friend Abigael. The girls know how to pose!

Loooong time, no posting!

WOW! We are slackers in the blogosphere! I can't believe we let a whole 6 weeks go by without a single post to the blog. My apologies to all of the Julia-watchers out there! Luckily, we have plenty of pictures and video to put up, and now I have a moment or two to get a few of them here. I'll do my best to go chronologically, but things may get a bit mixed up!

Julia is now a full ONE YEAR OLD! It's hard to believe that such a feat is possible. Of course, when I think back to all of those hours, days, weeks, and months, it feels like a lifetime. And it was! Julia's lifetime thus far. :)

She's walking and talking (kind of) and definitely exploring the world around her. She loves her finger foods and feeding herself, Elmo, and all manner of playing. She is especially fond of musical instruments and books.

All in all, Julia is great company. She's a happy, lovable, fiercely independent baby on her way to toddlerhood, if she's not there already! I miss parts of her baby-ness, but the little girl she's becoming is a sweetheart.

Now what was it that I did before she came along???? I can't recall...

Here are some photos from the past few months. Videos are on the way!
