Julia finally decided, one day after her 15 month old birthday, that she wanted to walk full time. She had been walking part time for almost a month, but never would commit to being upright most of the time! I took her to the library last Monday night where she had wide open spaces to roam and she took off! She resembles Frankenstein when she walked because her arms were straight out in front of her! Before that, she held them straight above her head. It's been over a week since that night and she is walking EVERYWHERE now. And her vocabulary....my goodness! Yesterday John was wearing a shirt that had a moose on it and he told her one time that it was a moose. She pointed at it and called it a moose on her own several hours after he told her about it the first time. He was amazed! I saw her baby doll on the floor yesterday and said, "Hi little baby!" and the next thing I hear was, "Hi little baby" from Julia, plain as day. She is brilliant, juicy, beautiful, and a sweet little angel....she's got the whole package working for her!
Speaking of smart and juicy...this is Julia's new 2nd cousin, baby Elliot James. His mom and dad are Anna and Brian who live in Portland, Oregon. Anna is my Dad's brother, Uncle Jim's, and Aunt Amy's daughter. Can't wait to get my hands on this baby boy!
This past weekend we went to Rogers to hang out with the Vandiver family. They have Mattie Pace who is 6 and little Daniel who is a few days younger than Julia! We had a blast and it was so much fun to see these babies play!
This is Julia's art work that she drew on Mattie's chalkboard easel.
Us curled up on the couch with Mattie Pace reading books.
Julia and Mattie drawing some pictures.
Look at that sweet face!
"Please read me this book!"
A sweet smile!
