Anatomy of a Photo Shoot

According to Mommy -
Happy 1.5 years my baby girl!

Look over here!

Hey, when did you get a doll? 
Great smile - the doll needs to go

Great smile - now sit up, please!

Sorry I took away your doll

What's Daddy doing?

Daddy is so silly!

Cheeeeese!

So close - look at the camera!

Yes, but sit up please!

Please don't pull your headband out!

Ready for the close up!

 According to Julia:
I'm getting bored mom!

I don't like it anymore mom.
I'm done!!!

Tradewinds Park Train Day!

We went to Tradewinds Park the other day which is a gorgeous and HUGE park about 40 minutes North of us. The park has a large playground, horseback riding, and train rides (every 3rd Saturday)!
The end of a fun day! All the fun below wore her out!

Engine #1

I wanted to ride in this one! It had air ;)

Julia and Daddy rode first

All aboard!

Loving the pink engine!!

Julia was NOT so happy that the ride was over!!

We walked to the playground in our new carrier!

Yay! Hi Daddy - it was fun!

What happens when you call...

Happy New Year

What? How did that happen? Another year has flown by in the blink of an eye. We have had such a fun year watching out little girl grow up. We celebrated our night in style. We hung around the house, blew our noise makers, watched movies, and ate some yummy Chinese take-out.


Watching the countdown. Ready to shake her noise maker!

Practicing with her noise-maker.

Her noisemaker even matched her dress!

Too much partying! We had all the windows up and
it must have gotten a bit humid. Hello, curls.

Beef lo mein? Yes, please! Julia polished off 2 plates!

Julia and Daddy having fun!

"What do I do, Daddy?"

"Like this?"

"What are you doing Mommy?"

"That things is just weird."

"I'll take this hat, please."

"How does it look?"

One singular sensation, every little step she takes.....

Happy New Year 2012!


The Little People Village and Playtime

I think I love to move furniture. There, I've admitted it! I think I get it from my Mom. We always had new furniture and new arrangements. Since we moved around the living room, we freed up some more space in Julia's room. I took all her Little People sets and her box of Little People into her room and set up a Little Town. She has loved having room to set them all out and has been truly playing with them. She's been putting dolls together at the table and talking to the animals in the barn. What a true Little Person she has become. 

The whole town using the mirror. Large airplane, airport, circus, farm, house, fire truck, and minivan.
There are a few more assorted pieces and we just put away the Christmas sets including
Christmas train, nativity set, and Bethlehem Inn.





Julia loves shoes! She found Daddy's shoes the other day and put them on
all by herself!

They were a bit big so she needed some help walking.

Checking them out...

Trying to steady herself
