Strawberry Picking

I took the girls strawberry picking and you might be surprised to learn that we came home with a very small bag of strawberries! Kelsey was obsessed with us not picking too many! They had lots of fun and just couldn't believe all of the strawberries! Strawberry Shortcake would have had a blast! ;-) Oh have I mentioned the girls don't like dirt! lol

Spring Has Sprung

Can you believe it is already the end of March? Much like many of you, winter was pretty much nonexistent. Spring has arrived in full force and the temps are rising rapidly. Thank goodness we put the pool in!

The girls have been busier than ever. We spend most of our days outside playing and planting. The girls have loved our frequent trips to Lowes to pick up gardening supplies. They've enjoyed planting flowers in the front yard. I also had the crazy idea to plant a garden this year. Seriously what was I thinking?! We bought a raised bed, filled it with dirt and planted away! There is no telling what will be popping up after all of our TLC!

Julia-1 Year Continued

Forgot to add in previous post that Julia also had a 1 year check up with Dr. Brock for her hips. X-ray showed that her hips have healed perfectly and Dr. Brock was sad to report that he would no longer need to see Julia! Dr. Brock gave Julia a big kiss and sent her on her way! He is an amazing pediatric orthopedic! We are truly blessed!

Julia-1 Year

Julia's 1 Year Stats:

Height: 29.25 inches (50%)
Weight: 19 pounds 6 ounces (25%)
7 teeth (which she has learned to use to her advantage)
Spoken words: mamma, dadda, me, mine, no, bum, bum-bum, stinky (very recently)


It is hard to imagine that time can go any faster than it already does and yet it does. Poor Julia, the 2nd child, and soon to be middle child, seems to be growing so quickly. She turned 1 in the blink of an eye and has been such a blessing.

She absolutely loves her big sister! She thinks she is so funny...well that is until Kelsey decides not to share! I can often hear the girls playing in Kelsey's bedroom..."mine" "mine"! It didn't take Julia long to learn the importance of "mine"! Julia is a tuffy and can definitely hold her own. She has learned that her teeth are not only for eating but also biting and so we are working on that. ;-)

She loves to carry around anything that is "mine" especially her baby dolly.

While eating baby food, Julia would only eat things that were orange, I mean sweet! After a visit to Grammy and Papa's house, she learned that baby food was a thing of the past and that she had been missing out on some yummy treats! She loves to suck down a piece of bacon. Luckily she will drink milk and loves yogurt. Her favorite snacks are plain Cheerios, bunny cookies and popsicles.
