18 months!

Julia is 18 months!

Always busy and taking Mommy's bags!


Emma at 18 months, you can definitely tell they are sisters! ;)


Our baby girl is now 18 months old. Where has the past year and a half gone? Julia has made our life so full and is already a kindred spirit. She is very much a Pisces by nature, if there is anyone crying or feeling upset she goes right up to them and looks at them with sympathy eyes. It is so sweet.
Julia has learned so much in the past year, she not only began walking on her own but she decided to just start running! She's very daring and will jump off of anything. She is very independent and shows signs that she will not take any "bull" by crossing her arms firmly across her chest and by yelping out "babadedodeee" We, of course, look at her and say "Oh, really?".
She is very fond of Dewey and absolutely adores her big sister. She dresses up in Emma's shoes and my purses. She can throw a mean fast ball and kicks a soccer ball just like Emma does!
Julia is doing lots of things earlier than Emma did, like brushing her teeth. She has her own little routine where she -- with out any assistance -- will climb up on the stool, get her toothbrush and try to put the toothpaste on it, we turn the water on for her but I think in about a month or so she'll have figured that out too.
She loves to listen to music and has really become fond of Elmo and Sesame Street. Julia also prefers to read in the morning, at night time she's all business and that is she really loves to go to bed! She also really enjoys flipping through books by herself, it's very cute.

Julia's favorite words: Boom, Sis, Melmo, Momma, Dadda, Dyeee (Blankie), Juice, More, All done, Out, Puppup (Up), Dadooom (down), Mooo, Bus, Vrooom, doggie

Happy 18 months to our little peanut, she may be little but she is definitely full of spunk!

  1. hey there miss,

    I am taking a study break and thought what better way to relax a bit than to look at my friends' blogs. I can't believe Julia is 18 months. Gosh, the time is really flying by now. That is really amazing. I feel like it was just a few weeks ago that I was driving down to meet the that little miss. I remember how keen I was to get lots of holding time in because that time had just flown right by with all the firsts. I can't believe the way she is moving around and all of her new words. Gosh, it is amazing how much they learn in such a short time. Well, happy 18 months to Miss Julia and the proud Mommy, Daddy and big sis, Emma.
    I hope your cookout was a big hit today.
    Big hugs
    Michelle
