So Juliet turned a year old October 31. We had a little family get-together birthday thing for her Nov. 1 out at Fairview State Park near our house. Travis's parents drove their RV over there, so they hosted our little shindig. The kids had a good time, and everyone paid proper homage to the birthday girl.
Juliet arrived in her birthday tutu and custom-designed, handmade birthday hat and wand, but was quickly stripped of her finery after attempting to wreck it all.
See? She is not happy about wearing that hat. Her Nana did her darnedest to keep it on her for the picture, though:
Tell me that tutu is not the cutest thing ever. Seriously. Is it cute, or is it CUTE?
My man Scott had an accident and fell down while at the park all day. It was pretty rough on his little face. My dad had him up on his shoulders to distract Scott from his war wounds - it seemed to work okay:
We put Juliet's booster seat on the floor of the RV and let her have at her cupcake. She wasn't sure what to do with it at first:
I see this little mischevious look a lot around my house:
Mmmmmm....sprinkles!
Scott joins in on the action:
So now my little girl is 13 months old. At 13 months old, Juliet is walking all over the place. She still loves the kitties, and torturing Tad Smith is a favorite past time (she especially enjoys yanking on his tail). She loves being outside and is absolutely fearless - she'll happily barrel down the slide by herself if I don't pay close attention while at the park with her. And she's a little monkey at home, too - she loves climbing up on top of the leather ottoman in the living room and bouncing up and down. Falling off onto the floor only serves to make her giggle. Juliet is forever removing her shoes and socks - especially when in her carseat. She is always barefoot whenever we arrive at any destination. She has a funny, little sense of humor and loves clowning around and making silly faces. It's funny, because she is a very serious baby when in public or around strange groups of people. Juliet loves putting hats on her head and hanging necklaces (or electrical wires) around her neck - a habit that makes her mama very nervous. She loves getting into the freezer and the kitchen cabinets, and she is very curious about everything.
She's turning out to be pretty verbal, and she's always picking up on new signs, too. Right now she will say kitty, drink, cracker, diaper, Scott, dog, shoe, bubble, baby, light, bye, milk and ball. Most all of her words sound like "dees" or some version of "bah" or "bay," but we know what she's trying to say. Bubble, ball and bye are all pretty clear, and kitty sounds like "tee." As far as signing goes, she knows the signs for kitty, cracker, dog, ball, more, shoe, sock, bath, diaper, bye, milk and drink.
She's a funny, little kid. I'm glad she's ours.
ARGH - I don't know why the pictures posted the way they did, all huge and cutting Scott off on the side. I'll have to come back and fix them later.
