11 Months Old!

Wow....I cannot believe our sweet Julia is 11 months old today! Since it was her birthday, we celebrated in a big way with more Halloween festivities. We went to the Methodist Church's Trunk or Treat. Julia had a great time, but the best part of the night was eating her very first hot dog that Kristen gave her. Kristen will report that it was the best night of Julia's life because of her hot dog experience. She stuffed it in her mouth with both hands. Good stuff and so healthy too!

Trunk or treat works by people opening their trunks and decorating them with Halloween goods. The kids come around and get candy, or in Becca and Neall's case, toothbrushes. This is Julia in the back of Becca and Neall's car. It cracks me up because you can see Julia's crazy mom's face in the corner trying to make her smile.

Julia won second place in the costume contest in her age group. Low and behold, the prize was the best ever....... A BALL!

This picture captures Julia's overall feeling about wearing the cow costume.....you must be kidding me with this. I tried to tell her that the BALL sippy cup that she won was so worth the pain of wearing the cow.

This is Julia's first art work that was hung on our refrigerator. I finally get why parents have a refrigerator full of these littles treasures. Julia made this at her sitter's house yesterday. Of course, it's her foot print made into a ghost. Melinda told John that she tried to get Julia to do both feet, but she wasn't having it. John and I were both so proud of her for accomplishing such a beautiful craft. How many of these beauties can we have framed?
