Our Lil' Lady

 

Just another day being Julia.

One day she's digging in the dirt and the next she's picking out purses and shoes to match. This so reminds me of a cake topper I had for a birthday cake growing up.

Julia is 9 months old!

So she's now been out of me as long as she was in me. It's crazy to think that this time last year I was so large and ready for school to end so I could prepare for her arrival. Now she's crawling and climbing, putting her two cents in conversations and helping me burn calories keeping up with her adventuring. She's a healthy and vibrant little girl who's personality is shining! She's outgoing, a social butterfly and loves attention of any kind from anyone - strangers, other kids, adults and of course Mommy and Daddy.
