Julia is 11 months old!

One more month and that tiny little baby girl I brought home on August 2, 2009 will be 1! I've been busy planning her first birthday party while she tears through the house like a hurricane. She's into everything - cabinets, drawers, stairs, baskets, dirt, toilets....if she can get to it she's adventuring into it. She is such an outgoing little lady with such an adventurous spirit. She's starting to teethe so that has turned into a different little girl. She's still an all around happy little girl (on her good days) but on teething days - wow. She can be persistent when she wants you. She's still has her adventurous spirit and at Gymboree I'm still the mom trying to keep up with the little girl who has no interest in sitting in my lap but instead wants to pull out her own parachute or discover a new way to play with something. She's a unique little firecracker and I love it alll....except for the night wakings.

What She's Doing Now:
teething (4 at once)
standing from sitting unassisted
can climb entire set of stairs
recognizes the words open and close
will take 4-6 steps at times
eating mainly adult food
bounces the ball
clapping
responds to music with waving hands and bouncing up and down
3 bottles a day - getting ready to start milk
still no sippy cup success but practicing with straws
puts away blocks and some other toys
watches "Sesame Street" and responds to what she sees
watching Sesame Street - Mr. Noodle you're so funny
shakes head "no" when she doesn't want something
sleep schedule has shifted - waking up middle of night again
cries to get what she wants - it finally began:-()
no longer goes into her crib without a fight
