Julia is 16 months

Julia is 16 months today! She continues to crawl to get around has been trying to walk more the past week and a half. It is fun to watch her stand up on her own and get super excited. She loses her balance a lot because she tries to walk too fast. I think the most steps I have seen her do is about 12 after she has stood on her own. I was hoping she would walk by Easter but no such luck. We have no idea when she will walk consistently because she seems to take her time on everything. She loves to try to climb and gets stuck a lot. She is great at climbing but not getting down. She also likes to walk on her hands and feet when when she is tired of being on her knees or sometimes will just move on her knees in kneeling position. Her knees are always dry and dirty along with the tops of her feet because she is outside a lot. I transitioned her to one nap about 3 weeks ago just to make it easier on everyone. She usually takes a 2 1/2 and occasionally a 3 hour nap in the afternoon. I try to wait until 7pm to put her down to bed for the night and she usually sleeps until 7am. It gets light so early that even if she goes down later she doesn't sleep in. She still eats great and still only has a few words mama, dada, banana, cracker, and she tries to say fish. She can talk a lot but we just don't understand what she is saying. She has 8 teeth now, 6 on the top. She continues to be fun and is not afraid to use her voice to let us know when she is not happy! We love her so much!
