Julia's 1st Birthday

It is Julia's birthday today and the year has gone by so fast! She is such a joy to have in our home and we are so grateful to have her sweet spirit with us. Celebrating her birth during the Christmas Holiday makes it extra special for our family. She has been doing so much this past month. Crawling is her major milestone. She has finally ventured out and will go from room to room downstairs. It is more work for us but so fun to watch. She really likes to stand but we have to get her in that position. She can pull herself up to her knees but no quite to her feet yet. I feel it will happen soon. She has started to take steps if we hold her hands. She likes to giggle and scream. I think she likes hearing her voice. She likes to repeat actions and sounds. She also likes to clap a lot. She still takes 2 naps and will go to bed around 6:30 pm and gets up around 7 am. She likes drinking regular milk which makes me happy!
We had a little celebration for her and tried to get her to eat a cupcake but she only ate the frosting.
Dean helped her blow out the candle before she could grab the flame.



She did her best at opening her gifts but tried to eat them instead.

Dean's such a helpful big brother blowing that candle out for her. I can't believe she's already a year!
