Happy Birthday, Julia!!!!

I can't believe that the last time I updated this it is was October. I have fallen that far behind in all my journaling and memory keeping activities. Christmas and New Year's was a blur of activity and 2008 shows no signs of slowing down.

We have had our fair share of illness for cold and flu season so we are anxiously waiting for warmer weather and more time outdoors.

Julia is not walking yet but getting a little closer to it each day. She has starting pointing and grunting at differnet things when she wants you to look at them or get them for her. She knows how to find her tummy (and Mommy's, too!) She loves to dance to music, climb the stairs and attempt to climb into the dishwasher. She still doesn't eat very much but doesn't look like she's starving at all. She sports 7 teeth in total, 4 on top and 3 on the bottom and loves to hear the cheerios crunch under them.

Liam has been one sick little boy with 3 colds and 2 tummy bugs since Novemeber. It hardly seems fair to him. He has grown significantly since my last entry and grown out of most of his clothes. He is a very tall boy. He has starting taking an interest in writing and can write the letter "L" now. He knows how to spell his name and is learning to recognize a few letters here and there. He has really been enjoying the lego blocks for the past few weeks and has build a crane, a periscope, a train and a camera with them. Unfortunately, there often fall to the destructive power of Julia.

Julia is 1 now. It's hard to believe. The year has gone so quickly. Here are some pictures of our life for the last few months. Enjoy and take care.
