I can't believe how fast time goes by. In less than a week my little Sweet Pea will be ONE year old. It truly is amazing how much she has grown and changed over the last year. Over the last couple of months I've been gathering things for her birthday party next Saturday. We're going with a dog theme. I'm going to make her birthday cake (might as well put my decorating classes to work). Grandma has volunteered to take Juliette for an afternoon so that I may decorate without interruptions. We're just having a party with family and Godparents. I didn't feel like doing two parties or having one really big one. We'll invite friends over this summer for a BBQ instead.
Juliette started a music class with the Bloomington Parks and Rec last week. Basically, we just sing and dance for about 45 minutes. Juliette really enjoys being around all the other kids. She definitely is not shy. She usually walks away from me and would rather stand by the other moms and kids. Bryan will be able to come to class this week since he is taking the day off of work to be with Juliette on her birthday.
Grandpa Weldon flies in this Monday for Juliette's birthday and the party. Juliette and I will be flying back down to Florida with him on the 19th since we were able to find a cheap flight. We'll be spending 5 days in Florida. Bryan will remain in Bloomington. It will be very hard for us to be way from him for that long. I'm a little nervous about the flight back IL since I'll be traveling by myself. It'll be an adventure. I'm hoping Juliette will fall asleep right away on the plane.

Juliette climbed into the sideboard and got stuck, so naturally I called for Bryan and then took some pictures.
I can't believe that is has been over two months since my last post. So much has happened since then. Let me begin with the biggest news....Juliette is walking. She is so cute as she cruises around the house. She especially enjoys walking while carrying something. She is quite the explorer, getting into everything. She empties out one of the drawers in the kitchen daily.
We had our first experience with Juliette being sick. She got a stomach bug that was going around, according to the doctor. That's what I get for taking her to the library for a play date. She woke up at 2:30am and threw up all over the bed, keep in mind she was in our bed. Shortly after that she threw up all over me. Poor thing. She got sick a couple more times throughout the day. I guess I can be thankful that she was healthy for 10 months.
Bryan and I have been busy. He's in the midst of studying for an insurance exam for work. He's also been busy watching Purdue and pacing back and forth in the family room. I'm taking a cake decorating class with my friend Michelle. Last week was my first class. Bryan is excited for all the cake he will be getting.
Other big news is that I've made the switch to cloth diapers. I'm sold on them. I really like using them. They are much easier than I thought they would be. I wish I had started using them sooner. It would have saved us lots of money.

Exhausted
Christmas is exhausting with an 8 month old. Well, we survived Christmas this year. It was a very busy week. We had a total of 3 "Christmases", Wednesday night, Thursday night, and Christmas Day. Juliette had lots of fun opening her presents. She enjoyed ripping the paper but it got old fast for her so Bryan, Grandma, Grandpa and I ended up opening most of her presents. Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy really enjoyed putting together all the wonderful gifts they got for Juliette. Grandma wasn't kidding when she said that Juliette could probably open her own toy store after Christmas :)
Juliette will now "dance" when she hears music. She will start the music on one of her toys and bounce. She does it standing or sitting. Sometimes she really gets into it and moves her arms too. She is definitely my girl.

Here are some pictures of some pictures of the cookies I made for Bryan to take into work tomorrow. They turned out very tasty.

The Misadventures of Juliette
Juliette has been up to a lot this week. A lot of crazy things.
Last week State Farm had Santa come and visit, so we took Juliette there to sit on Santa's lap and get a present. She did surprisingly well with Santa. I put her on his lap, and she just looked up at him, wondering who this strange looking guy was. To top it off, in continuing her never-ending thrill of pulling hair, she decided to pull Santa's beard and hang onto it when I picked her back up. Of course, Santa's beard didn't come off, but it sure was funny.
Thursday night lead to more excitement. Sarah bought Juliette another gift which, at this point, might end up being a gift for her 2nd birthday, because she has so much stuff. Anyways, she put it on a step going upstairs - roughly 4 or 5 steps up. I went up the steps to look at it, while Juliette was playing with a toy at the base of the stairs. You can probably guess what happened next. She made a strange sound, and I looked down to check on her, only to see...her feet. I had to look closer to me to actually see her, because she started crawling up the stairs. She had made it up to the 2nd/3rd step before I grabbed her. Friday was a little bit more of the same, with her trying to figure out the steps. Then, on Saturday (today, and 3rd day being the charm), Juliette managed to crawl up the steps very quickly when Sarah ran upstairs, and had to be pulled back down. So, now we have to deal with that. Good times.
Tonight, Juliette decided she wanted to help Sarah (un)fold laundry. While looking in the laundry basket, she accidentally fell into it. Then, she got stuck inside the laundry basket. We got some pictures of it, because what else where we going to do - help her first? Juliette eventually started crying, so we took her out, but that was really funny. Now we're curious if she'll do it again.
