Here we are a year after meeting our baby for the first time and AMAZED at how far she has come. If you would have told me Julia was going to be this outgoing, fun loving, sassy, yet brilliant and nurturing child I would have looked at you weird.
When we first met Julia she was super shy, wouldn't look you in the eye and just laid on our shoulders. She didnt talk hardly at all and didn't want to play anything.
Fast forward to today and that little girl is active, active, active. She loves her family (all her family) so much and gets so excited when we Skype with her cousins. Her main love is Toby and he loves her. Watching her with the family is an amazing piece that I treasure every day. Whether it's sitting on her Grandma W's lap, running around with the boys, giggling at Grandpa W, keeping poppa on his toes, chasing the twins around, ordering D around, charming Grandma Wendy into everything, and making tons of friends. She loves to be the social butterfly.
Some of her favorite things to do are play outside. She loves to be outside and would probably freeze her fingers off to stay outside. She loves to swim in our friends pool during the summer and even put her head underwater herself! She is a little fish and turns blue because she is in so long! During this dreaded winter time we are doing so much! I taught her how to make snow angels and she is in heaven! It is so fun to watch her try to get her legs and arms to move at the same time! We attempted to make a snow man, but the snow fell apart! She had her car out in the snow tonight and it was so much fun to watch her!
While it is winter and we are stuck inside she plays with her baby dolls and kitchen set a ton! She is so funny, I love watching her treat her babies the same way as I treat her! Giving them kisses, changing their diaper with the same silly song I do to her, and they way she tells them she loves them. We are happy to see that the way we love her is reflected in the way she loves!
She also LOVES arts and crafts! We draw and color all the time. We have created a nice big play room for her and in there we have an art easel and art desk. She also has tons of dolls and other things!
I would have to say her favorite thing is to copy us. With me she loves to cook and bake with me! I love it and it is everything I always dreamed of! She likes to dump what ever we need to dump into the bowl!
She sure has come a long way and I cant wait to see where else she takes us!
