12 Months Old

Julia is 12 months already!

She is not only walking, but running.
She says hi, oh-wow!, uh-oh, momma, Tee (for Pixel the cat), and dah-dah (for papa).
Julia blows kisses, loves waving hello and goodbye, and signs eat and finished.
She made up her own sign for 'hurt' months ago, in which she takes her left hand and flaps it on the top of her left ear a few times.


Julia's molars have made their debut. She is cutting her second one right now.
She has mastered the finger shake when someone is misbehaving!
The dog and cat food bowls can be tempting, but Julia has learned to leave them alone.
She knows what so many words mean, like when you ask for a hug, she wraps her tiny arms tight around your neck and then pats your back with one hand.
Weaning has begun.
Julia is wearing a size 5.5 in shoes! Size 18 months in clothes.
She naps twice a day and sleeps around 11 to 12 hours a night.
Her favorite foods include: blueberries, pears, meat, pizza (or anything with tomato sauce), raw tomatoes and cinnamon rolls.
She loves bath time.


Julia started dancing before she learned to walk. She now has two signature dance moves:
1. The Sprinkler, she puts one arm straight in the arm angled up a bit and the other arm in bent with the elbow straight back. She does this while slightly bouncing her knees to the beat!
2. The Sanitizer, she copies what papa does each time him puts sanitizer on his hands. She quickly and randomly rubs the back and front of her hands together. Almost making a big ball with her hands and does this while bouncing to the beat. Sometimes this motion turns into her rolling her fist around and around one another in front of her chest.

Julia, this year has been full of laughter and love. You are the best thing I ever did.
I love you! Mommy
