Hat
Sometime soon I'll have to stop taking her picture when she does something she shouldn't. But not yet. =)
Yesterday at lunch, Julia had already dumped out her cottage cheese onto the floor. (Basically every meal involves dumping food; sometimes I can see the warning signs and catch her before she does it.) I went into the kitchen to get a washcloth, and I heard her saying, "Hat! Hat!" Before I even turned around, I already knew what she had done.
What she said
This morning, Julia woke up at 6:23. At 6:27 she told me, "Park! Pool!"
We made it to the park by 6:59. But the pool isn't open at 7am, so Dad and Grandmom took her to the pool this afternoon.

Julia came into the bathroom this afternoon while I was peeing. She clapped and said, "Dee bob, Mama! Dee bob!" (Good job!)
Trying to decide if she likes the strawberry
This was about a month ago. Currently she's in a "liking strawberries" phase (it changes every few weeks).
Hiking
We went on a hike this week. When we got to the dam and parked, Trevor took Julia out to the water ahead of me. She was super excited about it. When I took this pic, I could hear her yelling, "Mama! Mama! Wawa! Wawa!"
Here's our family shot. (And here's our pic from the last hike we took with the backpack; Julia was 8 months old.) We played a lot before our hike. Got down in the creek and let Julia splash, explored the playground, etc. We knew she might conk out on the hike; it happened very quickly. I forgot to bring the towel to prop her head up with, so she was all slumped over. =(
Pics from Laura's phone
Last week my phone vibrated itself off a shelf when it was ringing. The fall must have injured it, because now when I try to use the camera, it says, "camera failed." But here are some old pics from it.
Going to the store in January:
Second trip to Nana and Poppy's house with just Mama and Julia. I turn her forward-facing when we travel alone so I can hand her things more easily. And don't tell Trevor, but yes I DID take this pic while driving. Pushed the buttons to turn on the camera without looking, held up the phone and aligned the shot in the rearview, and clicked.
Julia discovered her birthmark a few weeks ago, since it's warmer and she's in short sleeves all the time. It was funny the first time she noticed it, because she kept trying to look at it again, but every time she'd forget how to turn her arm so she could see it. =) After she learned the word "boo-boo," she called it a boo-boo for a while. Now she tries to say birthmark, which is cute as "mee-mak" or "bik-mak."
Edit: She walked up while I was posting this pic, and called it "ink-mak."
A blurry pic, but fabulous oatmeal-eating action. I "recycle" the food on her bib, scraping it off and putting it back on her tray.
She learned to swing on her tummy from cousin Hailey.
A watch and undies
That's a great face, isn't it? She had just woken up from her nap and wasn't quite "awake" yet. As I was taking that pic, it reminded me of this one I took the week before her b-day, which I titled, "a shoe and a diaper."
