Juliette is one busy little girl.  Josh has been doing a great job documenting all of her "moves."   She LOVES her walker/car.  She zooms around the house with great precision.   Here's the past week according to YouTube.

Only 23 days until Juliette turns ONE!  As excited as I am, I think I may cry.  My baby is growing up!  I looked back at her birthday pictures the other day and couldn't believe it's been almost a year (want to reminisce?...click here)  She is such a joy and has made our little family complete.  I cannot imagine life without her!

She continues to get cuter every day.  She now knows how to work the system.  When she is done eating, she throws anything left on her tray on the floor for the dogs.  Then, she leans over the side of her high chair and laughs as the dogs eat her leftovers.  Thankfully, she is eating a bit better.  She likes avocados now and yogurt is her best friend.  

We have had a few inquires about what the kid needs/wants for her birthday.  Here's a little list Josh helped her put together:

This past month has been such a great experience!  Juliette continues to amaze me.  She is becoming such a lovely little lady!  She is sweet and quite the charmer.  She is down to one to two naps a day and sleeping a good 8-10 hours every night.  She crawls non-stop and babbles like there is no tomorrow.  She even makes interesting bird call kinda noises.  She is still on the petite side...still fitting into some of her 6-9 month PJ's.  She is starting to branch out and try some new foods (thankfully!!!).  

It's hard to believe that she will be turning ONE next month!  Of course me being the planner that I am, have already got pretty much everything needed for the celebration.  I can't wait!  

p.s.  It should read 1.13.14 on her sign...oops!

Our house looks liks a fortress now.  Josh has created a safe area for Juliette to crawl with reckless abandon.  She is non-stop now that she has found her legs.  She also LOVES to play with toys...for about 1.5 minute per toy.  Then she is on to the next toy.  Strings are her favorite toy followed closely by my hair or whatever necklace I have on that day.  If she's in a bad mood, we stick her in the tub and instantly she is the happiest little girl.  She will stay in the bath all night if we'd let her.  The water will be cold and she will be all pruned up, but she could care less.  Her smiles & giggles are the sweetest thing ever.  And can we talk about her hair!!!!!....I am obsessed with her curls.  Her hair is getting thicker and curlier by the day!  Just when you thought it was impossible for the kid to get cuter!

Last week Cousin Olive came to visit Juliette!  Along with Olive came Jenny, Granny, Jake, Collin and a few days later Pappaw.  We played tourists in St. Augustine!  Olive got to visit the beach for the first time too!

Happy New Years 2014!  Juliette was in bed before the ball dropped (so was I!) last night, but she had a great day hanging with her cousin, Olive.  I guess I can now say that my baby was born LAST year!  Only 6 weeks until Juliette turns ONE!!!!!
