Using a Spoon

Today Julia wanted to feed herself her afternoon snack of yogurt...peach yogurt. We both got a bit messy but as you can tell she did a great job of getting the spoon in her mouth. Good thing for mommy it was yogurt and not carrots...since baby food carrots aren't easy to get out.

Easter Egg Hunt!

Today our neighborhood had an Easter Egg Hunt down by the pool and it was Julia's first time hunting for eggs. She enjoyed some practice walking while waiting for the egg hunt to begin.


Julia and Daddy hanging out on the basketball court waiting patiently.


Julia finds her first egg and it just happens to be pink...our favorite color.


Julia really enjoyed holding the eggs and wasn't interested in putting them in her basket. At home she always puts things into baskets like her books or toys but today she just wanted to hold them...who can blame her, right?


After Julia found her 12 eggs she enjoyed looking at her collection. It was a little chilly at 11am but the sun was shinning and it wasn't raining so it was a great day for an egg hunt.


This is Julia with her friend Liam who we met at our neighborhood playgroup. We meet up and play with Liam every Friday. He's a month older than Julia.


Julia was very excited to find out that the snack at the end of the egg hunt were goldfish...her favorite snack!

Messy Hair

I've been wanting to take a picture of Julia with her messy hair when she wakes up in the morning for a while now. I always forget about it but today I finally remembered. Here she is with her crazy morning hair...I just love it! Her hair is getting long so it gets a bit crazy if it's not in a clip. Little love bug slept 11 1/2 hours last night. Even with her messy hair I think she's as cute as ever!

Julia's Cruising

Here's a short video I took of Julia doing some cruising on Monday after our trip to the outlet mall. She even ate her lunch outside and enjoyed seeing the trees since it was such a nice day. She's becoming much more confident and is starting to move quicker and goes around the corners all by herself. Today at therapy there was a little girl working on rolling over and putting weight on her arms...it doesn't seem like long ago that we were working on those things with Julia and now she's cruising. She's really making great progress.

Little Cutie

Here's a recent picture of Julia that I just love. Lately she's doing lots of cruising and it's been tons of fun watching her move around. She cruises from the couch to the ottoman and around the coffee table and of course the pink tubs. She becoming much more confident and goes around the corners without reaching out to hold our hand anymore. She's even working on sitting down after standing by slowing lowering herself and landing on her bum. We're trying to work on balancing without holding onto anything but as we get her steady by holding our hands she then starts walking instead. We're having heaps of fun with our little love bug.
